The museum will house the articles and some remaining memorable things associated with the Servant of God which reflect his holiness of life, especially those which show his faith in God and piety to the Blessed Mother. May God be honored in this place, and may those involved in the construction of this museum proceed smoothly with their work as planned and bring this to a successful finish.
