Regina Rosarii (RICA) (Tanay)

RICA is a Spanish word that means rich lady. We depict our Lady as a Queen,

Regina, the Queen of the Holy Rosary. A Lady, so highly favored and richly blest. She is the woman, full of grace.

The first Regina Rosarii Shrine in the Philippines is at the Dominican Heights, Tagum Davao. Jose Barcena Jr., Jojo our artist and sculptor depicted our Lady like Our Lady of la Naval. The second Regina Rosarii Statue is at the Rosary hill in Tagaytay. The third Regina Rosarii statue is the 30 –foot revolving statue on top of the roof deck of the motherhouse of the Dominican Sisters of Regina Rosarii.

We have always been singing, the Regina Rosarii hymn, Oh the Lady is waiting on top of the hill … yet she stands on top of our roof deck.

This time, we made good what we are singing. She is now standing on top of the hill at Regina RICA!

We searched for land that will be a venue for this ministry and thank God after looking through 20 properties, our Lady led us to a 13.5 hectare land in the hills of Tanay Rizal. It has 3 waterfalls, a creek, 10,000 trees and a lot of promise for the renewal of this wonderful path to God, experienced by St. Catherine of Siena, the Rhineland Mystics, and many men and women who discovered the extra-ordinary in all the ordinary events in life. RICA, is now found! The Regina Rosarii Institute for Contemplation in Asia (RICA) will be a venue for serenity, silence and stillness in our noisy and harried world. RICA is our response to continue our ministry of bringing healing, hope and hospitality to all those who look up to our Lady, so highly favored, so abundantly blest.
