Sixty five years ago today, the Papal Bull granting the Canonical Coronation of the Virgen de los Remedios was issued by His Holiness, Pope Pius XII.
Bishop Cesar Ma. Guerrero wrote to the Holy See on February 11 1956 to formally request the canonical coronation of the beloved patroness of the Kapampangans. In less than a few months, the petition was approved and the decree was released, considering the mode of communications then.
Shortly thereafter, on September 8 1956, the Virgen de los Remedios was canonically crowned at the Provincial Capitol by the then Governor of Pampanga, Rafael Lazatin and the then Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Egidio Vagnozzi.
On September 08, the Archdiocse of San Fernando will celebrate the 65th anniversary of the canonical coronation of its patroness.
A papal bull is an official church document issued by the Pope. In this case, the decree of the canonical coronation of Our Lady of Remedies was made through a Papal Bull issued by Pope Pius XII.
