A joyful welcome to Bishop Paolo Martinelli and Fr. Darick D’Souza from the United Arab Emirates on their very first visit to the Philippines, to St. Paul University Manila, and to our beloved Our Lady of Chartres Convent.
A day well spent in faith and fellowship! From Mass at SPUQC, visits to historic churches and museums, and lunch at Ristorante de Mitre—to a joyful evening at Barbara’s Heritage Restaurant, where our guests sang along with the musicians and enjoyed the cultural show.
Bishop Paolo Martinelli, apostolic vicar of Southern Arabia, also visited the Manila Cathedral and San Agustin Church in Intramuros, Manila, on Sunday, August 17, 2025.
On Saturday, he joined the Sisters of Saint Paul of Chartres–Philippine Province for a Mass marking the diamond jubilee of 12 Sisters and the golden jubilee of eight others at the Our Lady of Chartres Convent in Antipolo City. (From CBCP News)
