Children - The Heritage of the Lord


Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off - for all whom the Lord our God will call."

(Acts 2:38,39 NIV)

The importance of children is not only philosophical or legal but also biblical. The City of Vigan does not only care for its tangible and intangible heritage but also for its children --- the future generation. Anyway, the protection of Vigan's heritage is for the next generation. As a child-friendly city and as a religious center being the seat of the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia, the responsibility of protecting the Children, the Heritage of the Lord and Vigan's rich legacy is not only a governmental function but ecclesiastical as well.
