An Appeal to Cultural Heritage Workers, Antique Collectors and to the Public from the Archdiocesan Commission on Church Heritage - Archdiocese of San Fernando:
The centuries-old, ivory image of the Child Jesus of Betis Church's Virgen de la Correa (see attached photo) was stolen today, 30th of December 2013 before the town fiesta procession.
We appeal to you to be on the look-out for this significant piece of Betis heritage and let us know of possible leads that can help us recover it.

Betis folks have always been proud and protective of their religious and cultural heritage. The images of Virgen de la Correa and the Child Jesus are among the legacies left by the Augustinian missionaries who established a mission in Betis in 1572. These are properties of Betis Church, as documented in the 1790 Santa Visita de la Iglesia de Betis (Archdiocesan Archives of Manila Box 6.A.3, Folder 9).
If you can offer information about the missing image of the Child Jesus, please contact:
