I am very grateful to Antonio Bini for sending this news and accompanying photos of the visit of Mrs. Neves to Manoppello
I wish to inform you that Daisy Neves, together with her son Erwin, stayed a week in Manoppello the second week of October, before going to Rome to participate in the Enthronement of the Holy Face in the church of Saints Elisabeth and Zechariah, planned by the pastor of the parish, Father Bonifacio (Ted) Lopez.

Daisy spent an intense week of prayer close to the venerable Holy Face, happy to finally be able to stay in the adjacent Casa del Pellegrino (Pilgrim House), reopened last summer. Mrs. Neves, promoter of the international missions of the Holy Face in 2014 and 2015, as well as of many other initiatives in the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Lebanon and Italy, was greeted with cordiality and gratitude by Fr. Carmine Cucinelli, rector of the Sanctuary, by the other Caputchin friars, and Sister Petra-Maria Steiner, who also performed the duties of interpreter.

During her stay in Manoppello she witnessed the arrival of many pilgrims from various parts of the world. For her it was exciting to meet a group of pilgrims (including many of Filipino origin) from various cities in California, with whom she exchanged impressions on the Holy Face. We have also talked about the precious role performed by your blog. I'm sending you some photos I took during our meeting.
