LOOK: PHL-made vestments for Pope Francis sent to Vatican


Philippine-made vestments for Pope Francis' use in the Philippines have been sent to the Vatican, less than two weeks before his visit to the Philippines.

Photos of the vestments tweeted by GMA News' Ruth Cabal indicated these were made by Talleres de Nazaret.

Included in the photos are the miter (headdress), the stole, and the chasuble or outermost liturgical vestment.



Talleres de Nazaret, founded by Fr. Francisco Butina and Bl. Bonifacia Rodriguez, makes vestments, altar linens and uniforms, shirts and jackets, bags, and food products.

A history of the company showed it employs poor university students, and women suffering from extreme poverty, as well as would-be victims of trafficking. — Joel Locsin/BM, GMA News
