The septinarium (seven days of prayer) for the Mater Dolorosa was held at the Santa Rita de Cascia Parish from 8-14 September 2011, every 5:30 p.m. on weekdays. In a way, each day represented one of the seven sorrows of the Blessed Virgin, with a different meditation after the general prayers. Each day was capped with a Holy Mass and was well-attended by parishioners.

On 15 September, the feast day itself, after the 5:30 a.m. Mass, members of the confraternity (Cofradia) of the Mater Dolorosa renewed their pledges and held a meeting. Mrs. Lydia L. Bata was elected president.
