Heart of Mary Villa celebrates its 54th anniversary on February 8 with a Eucharistic celebration in Quezon City. Bishop Honesto Ongtioco of the Diocese of Cubao will be the Mass presider.
During the occasion, also the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the new HMV Nursery will be blessed.
It was on September 26, 2009 when typhoon Ondoy hit the country and caused huge damage to the Heart of Mary Villa in Malabon. Affected by the flashfloods were the buildings used by the women in the maternity home, the nursery, the convent and the Damayan Center. To ensure the safety of the most vulnerable in HMV, the babies were transferred to the Formation House in Quezon City.
The threat of more flashfloods prompted the sisters of HMV to transfer to Quezon City and eventually to start the construction of the new nursery in Quezon City. Bahay Ugnayan paved the way for Heart of Mary Villa to be located in Quezon City.
Gratitude to the benefactors and friends who contributed to make all these possible.
