Dear Brother Priests, Consecrated Persons, and Lay Faithful of the Diocese of Imus, 

Greetings of Peace! 

I am pleased to convey that the Diocese of Imus has been selected to be one of the pilgrimage sites for the Visit of the Sacred Relics of Saint Carlo Acutis, which will transpire on December 1 - 2, 2025, at the Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Nuestra Señora de Candelaria, Silang, Cavite.

This significant event is an opportunity to reflect and learn from the young saint, who is known for his love and devotion to the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. He reminds us that the call of holiness is for all the baptized, and resounds with particular urgency to the youth of today.
