Ministry of Altar Servers - St. John Nepomucene Parish, Bonga

27/05/2026

The Altar Servers’ Formation held today at St. John Nepomucene Parish was attended by all aspiring altar servers together with the senior altar servers. The talk was given by Bro. Neil Edward L. Serrano, a seminarian from Mater Salutis College Seminary.

The formation became an opportunity for everyone to deepen their understanding of the teachings of the Church, especially the Holy Mass, and the sacred responsibility of serving at the altar.

May this formation continue to guide and inspire all young servers to become faithful, committed, and Christ-centered servants of the Church. Amen. 🙏🏻

The Aspiring Altar Servers had their On-Going Formation today in preparation for their journey of deeper understanding and commitment to their ministry of service at the altar.

Through prayer, reflection, and catechesis, they were guided to better understand the mission of an altar server — not only to serve during the Holy Mass, but also to become young disciples who live according to the teachings of Christ with faith and love for the Church.

May this formation continue to inspire them to serve not only with their hands at the altar, but also with their hearts dedicated to God and His people. Amen. 🙏

The St. John Nepomucene Parish is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of our beloved brother, Matthew Barcela, a member of the Ministry of Altar Servers.

His faithful service at the altar, his humility, and his joyful presence were a blessing and an inspiration to his fellow servers. His dedication and love for serving the Lord will forever remain in our hearts.

Today, as he joined our Creator, we humbly ask everyone to please join us in praying for the eternal repose of his soul, and for strength, comfort, and peace for his grieving family, friends, and loved ones.

In preparation for the Diocesan Diamond Jubilee, the Diocesan Formation for Acolytes is one of the lined-up series of activities of the Diocesan Commission on Christian Education (DCCE) to strengthen catechetical ministry and inspire holiness.

St. Dominic Savio teaches us that holiness is found in joyful service. Like him, altar servers are called to serve the Lord with pure hearts and dedication --- becoming true models of faith, obedience, and love in the presence of God.

Today, we unite as one local Church before God—seeking mercy, healing, and renewal for our land.

In response to the call of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), the whole nation turns to prayer, trusting that only in repentance and faith can true hope be reborn.

May our prayers rise from every parish, chapel, home, and heart, as we humbly ask the Lord to heal our nation and make us instruments of His peace.

Through the intercession of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, may the love of God pour into our hearts and renew the face of our country.
