Each  friar has  his  own  gift  which adds color to the service that the community of preachers offers to  the  people   of  Manaoag  and   the  pilgrims  who  come  every  day.   Some  of  them  are  more  directly  involved   in  the   management   of  the shrine.   Others  have  particular  responsibilities in the convent  and ministries to serve God’s people.
