Win Villamora wrote, “My wife, Grace, and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in June 2022 by going on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and renewing our vows at Cana, where Jesus Christ performed his first miracle. We also visited places like the Caesarea Philippi; Magdala, where Mary Magdalene was from; the Church of the Nativity; the Mount of Olives; the Church of the Holy Sepulchre; the Sea of Galilee; the Dead Sea; and Bethlehem. We were not just tourists. We were pilgrims who retraced the travels of Jesus Christ and interacted with the dwindling Christian families in the West Bank, who continue the various religious sites. Grace and I are active in the various ministries of Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago and occasionally appear in YouTube videos of religious events, such as the Simbang Gabi Filipino Christmas celebration this year. It saddens us to report that our daughter’s beloved Filipino restaurant in Washington, DC had to close due to problems caused by Covid-19. She remains connected with the James Beard Foundation in another capacity.”
