Nuestra Señora del Buen Suceso de Parañaque, Patroness of Parañaque, Philippines
Nuestra Señora del Buen Suceso de Parañaque, Patroness of Parañaque, Philippines is held on August 10. This event in the first decade of the month August is annual.
Our Lady of the Good Event of Parañaque is the name of a statue of the Madonna and Child enshrined in St. Andrew's Cathedral in Parañaque, Philippines. The original Spanish name is often incorrectly rendered in English as Our Lady of Good Success due to the superficial similarity between the Spanish word "suceso" (meaning "event") and the English false friend "success." The history of Our Lady of Good Event of Parañaque was based on the writings of Nicolás de San Pedro, the vicar of St. Andrew's Parish (now the Cathedral Parish of St. Andrew), written in 1700.
The Augustinian fathers brought the image from Spain in 1580 as a gift from the King to Filipino converts.
