Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage (Antipolo)

The Collegio is the Pontifical Home in Rome to Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage, also known as our Lady of Antipolo.

We have always welcomed guests visiting us for Mass or prayers, a Filipino meal, or just to chat and enjoy the family atmosphere of this Filipino “Home in Rome”.

The “Collegio Day” is celebrated on the first Sunday of May. The Foundation Day actually falls on October 7, but since it is difficult to prepare for this feast right at the beginning of the first semester, we celebrate on May instead. This celebration is at the same time our way of thanking and appreciating all the different Filipino Communities, especially for their prayers and the help they extend to us.

Though the current pandemic has somewhat limited visits, our friends continue to be united with us through their prayers, encouragement and material support. We also include them in our daily intentions, especially in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

At the Main Chapel used every Tuesday, and during feasts with the presence of our Filipino migrants…

At one side altar of the Crypt, where we hold Masses and devotions daily, praying for you our friends and benefactors…

At the Crypt’s altarpiece depicting the two Filipino Saints, San Lorenzo Ruiz and San Pedro Calungsod…

Outside lockdown periods, pilgrims may join the Collegio‘s prayers and other activities. They may also schedule Masses if they have their own Chaplains, or request Collegio priests to celebrate Mass for them.

We turn in a special way to God, though the intercession of Our Lady, to grant peace to our families and our nations, and good voyage as we make our pilgrimage to Rome and travel through this life…
