Devotingly Devoted Devotees

Our devotion to the Señor Santo Niño is expressed in various ways. Yet, our faith defines that devotion to the Holy Child, who being the "magnet of love" draws us closer to Him and with one another in a bond of love and spiritual unity. Let his light shine in our hearts and increase our faith  in him as he leads us in sailing back home.
