The Philippine Army’s 53rd Infantry “Matapat” Battalion (53IB) participated in the 5th Novena Mass in preparation for the Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish, Poblacion, Guipos, Zamboanga del Sur last June 22.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help has been venerated across many cultures and thus bears several titles in different languages, such as Mother of Perpetual Succour, Unsere Liebe Frau von der immerwährenden Hilfe, Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro, Notre-Dame du Perpétuel Secours, Mater del Perpetuo Succursu, and Ina ng Laging Saklolo in the Philippines. Her feast is commemorated every 27th of June.
