JAIME C. LAYA - MAGNIFICAT BOOK LAUNCH

 JAIME C. LAYA recently emailed me the following re the book launch of MAGNIFICAT: Mama Mary's Pilgrim Sites. He's one of the contributors, writing about the "Shrine of Our Lady of the Abandoned" in Santa Ana Church, Manila.  I've posted his bio after his email.  (The book launch of Magnificat on June 30 is open to the public.)

Dear Ms. Brainard,

I invited some people from Sta. Ana to the book launch. I hope that's okay. Congratulations on the book!

Jaime Laya
