6th Sunday Novena Mass. 100 days towards 400th Year of Evangelization of Cavite El Viejo (Kawit).

The 6th of the 9-day novena mass of the 100 days celebration towards the 400th Year Celebration of Evangelization of Kawit, Cavite (Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Saint Mary Magdalene on July 22, 2024) was held on June 23, 2024.
The mass was presided by Most Rev. Ruperto C. Santos, DD
Bishop of Antipolo.
It was in1624 when the Jesuits had the biggest mission of evangelization in Cavite El Viejo (Kawit). The Secular Clergy, on the other hand, took spiritual charge of Kawit after the Jesuits; then the Agustinian Recollect, until 1896.
The Church was declared a Diocesan Shrine on July 20, 2023 and is now officially referred to as the Sanctuario Diocesano y Iglesia Parroquial de Santa Maria Magdalena (Diocesan Shrine and Parish of St. Mary Magdalene).
The decree was read by Bishop Reynaldo Evangelista on the aforementioned date at the Church. As a Diocesan Shrine, the church becomes a center for pilgrimage where the faithful pays homage to Saint Mary Magdalene, had communion, and confession praying for the intention of the Holy Father, the Pope, and is, thus, expected to receive the indulgence. The parish priest is also given a new reference as rector.
There are various other parishes in the Philippines that are dedicated to the patronage of Saint Mary Magdalene. Among these parishes, the Parish of Saint Mary Magdalene in Kawit, is the third, so far, to be declared as a Diocesan Shrine. The first to receive the declaration as the Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Saint Mary Magdalene is in Pillila, Rizal (2018). The second is in Olangapo City (2022) now referred to as the Diocesan Shrine of Saint Mary Magdalene and Parish of Saint Lorenzo Ruiz.
