His ministry reflects the true essence of Christ’s calling — to serve, to guide, and to uplift.

This special occasion is not only a celebration of years in office but also a thanksgiving for a life devoted to God’s service. His leadership continues to be a beacon of hope, guiding the Church in times of challenge and transformation.
On this joyous occasion, all the officers, clergy, and faithful members extend their heartfelt congratulations and prayerful wishes, thanking God for his life and dedicated ministry.

As we commemorate this milestone, we pray that God will continue to bless him with good health, divine wisdom, and renewed strength to lead His people. May his ministry bear even greater fruit in the years to come, bringing glory to God and advancing His Kingdom.

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you.” (Numbers 6:24–25)

With heartfelt prayers and best wishes on this blessed occasion.
