Brotherhood of the Lord of Miracles

The Brotherhood of the Lord of Miracles (HESMIPERU), a religious fraternity organized locally in 1968, holds a mass and solemn procession through the streets around Our Lady of Sorrows Church, carrying its revered statue of the Lord of Miracles. The group, which includes a women’s auxiliary and office holders, organizes social as well as religious events in the community. Their festivals include music, dance, and the special fried cakes called picarones.
