🕊|| Feast Day of St. Tarcisius

O God, You have graciously called me
to serve You upon Your altar.
Grant me the graces that I need
to serve You faithfully and wholeheartedly.
Grant too that while serving You,
may I follow the example of St. Tarcisius,
who died protecting the Eucharist,
and walk the same path that led him to Heaven.

St. Tarcisius,
pray for me and for all servers. Amen. 🙏

⛪️|| Blessed Priests' Day!

Without the priest, the passion and death of our Lord would be of no avail.
It is the priest who continues the work of redemption here on earth...
What use would be a house filled with gold,
were there no one to open its door?
The priest holds the key to the treasures of heaven:
it is he who opens the door:
he is the steward of the good Lord; the administrator of His goods.
Leave a parish for twenty years without a priest
and they will end by worshiping the beasts there... The priest is not a priest for himself, he is a priest for you.

✍️ St. John Marie Vianney

🙏|| Community Prayer for Peace and Order

With grateful hearts, thanks to Most Rev. Raphael T. Cruz D.D. for graciously presiding over the Eucharistic Celebration together with the clergy of the Diocese of Baguio.

In his homily, Bishop reflected on the Parable of the Mustard Seed, reminding us that the Kingdom of God often begins in the smallest and most humble ways. Just as the tiny mustard seed grows into a great tree where birds find shelter, so too did the ministry of Jesus and His disciples grow from simple beginnings to embrace the whole world through faith.

He also reminded us that the Holy Mass is the highest form of prayer, encouraging us to turn to the Eucharist whenever we face trials, for in it we find our deepest source of strength, hope, and peace.

His message speaks powerfully to our community as we continue to stand together in defence of our ancestral home and the rights of our people amid immense external pressures. Though our voice may seem small before powerful forces, the Gospel assures us that God can bring forth great things from what appears insignificant.

May we remain united in faith, steadfast in prayer, and rooted in hope, trusting that the Lord will guide our path. Like the mustard seed, may our shared commitment grow strong enough to protect our land, uphold the dignity of our people, and secure a future of justice, peace, and harmony for generations to come.

🤍|| A heartfelt appreciation as well to the Gimong of Our Lady of Fatima for their generous sponsorship and warm hospitality. May the Lord bless your kindness and generosity, and may Our Lady of Fatima continue to intercede for you all.

World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly 2026:

"I Will Never Forget You"

Each year, on the fourth Sunday of July, the Church dedicates a day to grandparents and the elderly, established by Pope Francis to fall close to the feast of Sts. Joachim and Anne, the grandparents of Jesus. This year's sixth edition lands on that same date, July 26, 2026, an invitation to recognize the essential place the elderly hold in our families, our communities, and the life of the Church, and the gift they are to each.

The theme chosen by the Holy Father, "I will never forget you" (Isaiah 49:15), recalls God's lasting faithfulness to each of his children. Through the words of the prophet Isaiah, Pope Leo XIV offers a message of consolation and hope to all the elderly, especially those who experience loneliness, illness, or neglect.

We honour our beloved grandparents and the elderly—the living treasures of our families and our Church. Your faith, wisdom, and unwavering love continue to inspire generations.

Thank you for your prayers, your sacrifices, and your witness of hope. May God bless you with good health, peace, and abundant joy.
Happy Grandparents and Elderly Day! 💙🙏
