"The seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit" (Mt 13:23).

For us, in circumstances like natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoon, and drought; when we have our own personal problems and needs, it is very easy to pray and say the word of God but it is hard for us to live the gospel and apply it in our daily lives.

Real faith isn't just felt; it’s seen in the fruit we bear.

June 24, 2026 — The celebration didn't end with the Holy Mass! Our dedicated altar servers and Parish Youth Apostolates of the Minor Basilica of St. John the Baptist brought the fiesta to life with a vibrant choreography honoring the Nativity of our beloved patron saint!

Through every step and movement, we offered our talents and hearts to God in thanksgiving for the birth of St. John the Baptist.

Kudos to our servants of the altar and the youth apostolate for their energy, creativity, and faith! You made San Juan proud!

On Tuesday, June 23, the Feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, the Minor Basilica of St. John the Baptist was filled with grace as Rev. Fr. Rolando Bagaoisan Jr. celebrated his second Mass as a newly ordained priest of the Diocese of Laoag.
