A huge thank you to volunteers Ruel Gutierrez, Joseph Oligo, and Boyet dela Masa, and our ever-reliable custodian Enrique De Leon (shown flanking Father Freddie in the photo) for teaming up to replace the anteroom floor and clear out the space.

Last Sunday, the CWL presented Father Freddie with a chasuble as a farewell gift, marking the conclusion of his seven plus years of dedicated service to our parish.
We extend our deepest gratitude to Father Freddie for his inspiring leadership, spiritual guidance, and ministry. You will be dearly missed!

A huge thank you to Joseph Oligo for his incredible dedication to our parish mini-garden! Every year from spring through summer, Joseph nurtures a beautiful variety of vegetables - including tomatoes, bitter melon, gourds, lettuce, and eggplants.

Joseph’s work is a true ministry of community and care. During harvest season, he shares his crops with parishioners and sells a portion to fund the garden's ongoing upkeep.

Jesus, having ascended into heaven, gave us the Holy Spirit on Pentecost (the Solemnity celebrated last Sunday), the first gift given to believers – the Person of Love poured out into our beings so we might live as children of God. This is how we can understand why the liturgy invites us to celebrate the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

A beautiful, blessed morning unfolded during our Mother’s Day Mass as we held the traditional Mary’s Coronation ceremony. Afterward, the spirit of community moved to the church hall, where the Legion of Mary hosted a wonderful luncheon for the congregation and our First Communicants.
