It is not our apology to make but we feel that we have to apologise for Fr. Ernie Larida's abuse of the pulpit today.
In his Homily during the 7am mass, Fr. Ernie Larida, Rector not the Parish Priest, while speaking about the unity of the Holy Trinity, mentioned the May 9 and May 12 celebrations of the golden anniversary. He asked why can't he celebrate said occasion on May 12 since he is the parish priest and that he wanted it celebrated with the first anniversary of Fr. Julius Habana. Why was there a need to celebrate it on May 9 since he announced first that there was a May 12? According to him, the celebration on May 9 is the devil's work for causing division in his parish.
We apologise that Fr. Ernie Larida, who has been with us for more than a year doesn't understand the importance of our church's Golden Anniversary and would rather celebrate it with a priest's anniversary like a double feature film. We feel really bad that those who planned and celebrated the May 9 mass were insinuated to have been working with the devil.
Homilies are supposed to be filled with message of love and truth not message of hate and lies. We apologise for his pulpit abuse today and the many times he let his verbal diarrhoea run during his past Homily tirades.
Please share this heartfelt apology
