TRASLACION 2025
Welcome back home, Ima!

As the month of the Holy Rosary begins, Ima returns to her original home to visit her children in Don Bosco Academy - Bacolor. The annual traslacion was highlighted through the solemn praying of the holy rosary as the procession of the Virgin Mary, Help of Christians circled around the campus. It was on this same day in 1995 when the lahar flow devastated the town of Bacolor and, with it, the first home of Ima. This disaster submerged most of the school including her image in the chapel. Miraculously, her image rose above the lahar flow becoming one of the only remnants of that sacred place. As she returns to her home once more, Ima symbolizes the undying faith of the Salesians and Bosconians in God the Almighty Father, showing that no disaster can ever topple His grace to His children.
VIVA LA VIRGEN! VIVA IMA!
