Fr. Dan Cancino, MI, of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Healthcare said, the pilgrim tour serves as “a special moment for the sick to deepen their faith and devotion to St. Camillus.” Protected by a crystal glass in the shape of a heart, the ‘Holy Heart of Saint Camillus’ will be in the country until March 10, 2013. The relic's visit to the Philippines is part of a global pilgrimage in anticipation of St. Camillus' 400-year death anniversary celebration.
The Catholic saint died in July 14, 1614, after a life dedicated to caring for the sick through his congregation officially recognized by the Vatican as a religious order in 1586.
Pope Benedict XIV beatified Camillus in 1742 and canonized him the four years later, naming him the founder of "a new school of charity."
The heart relic visited the Chapel of the Eucharistic Lord - SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City, Philippines yesterday afternoon, February 27, 2013, Healing Mass was held and veneration followed.
