The renewal of the Consecration of Davao City was made on Tuesday, May 28, 2018.

It began with Catechists making several preparatory visits and then spending two days in painstaking office to office visits giving short catechism talks (in the midst of the usual office work) to disposed or at least passively listening workers.

Then preparations were made and the official agenda scheduled a spot for the renewal of the city consecration that had been made in November of 2016 during the first Mary’s Mission Tour. Then, on the day appointed, after City business had been conducted, the city of Davao renewed its consecration to Mary by the very active and earnest participation of the acting Vice-Mayor, who was standing in for the actual vice-Mayor (who had permitted and facilitated the whole thing, but was absent — perhaps because he is Protestant).

In the event itself 9 Councillors assisted as 2 of them carried the statue inside their session hall and knelt down before the statue. The acting Vice-Mayor consecrated the City with the 9 Councillors, 2 of them did stay behind and became Knights. Two important secretaries also became Knights while another 39 of their office workers made the personal consecration to Mary and became Knights of the Immaculata.
