Overview
Our Lady of Divine Grace is Mabalacat's town parish. It is one of the few places in Pampanga that still keeps the Pastorella, or Misa de Pastores, a set of Latin hymns sung by the parish choir during the nine dawn Masses before Christmas. The city fiesta on February 2 is linked to the legend of an image of the Virgin and Child said to have been presented by the founding chieftain Caragan.
