Filipino overseas workers who grew up around families devoted to Santo Niño de Cebu have brought the faith to many places all over the world becoming messengers of hope and peace
“I have been saying all these years that the ‘devotion’ to the Santo Niño will go the way of all misguided ‘popular devotions’ that border more on the fanatical and the ridiculous,” notes Salesian priest, Fr. Chito Dimaranan.
Fr. Soquiño’s challenge to devotees of the Santo Nino was a reaction to the message of Pope Francis on World Day of Peace on the theme, “Artificial Intelligence and Peace”.
