With hearts full of gratitude, we thank God for the successful Annual Recollection and Commissioning of the Lay Liturgical Ministers held on July 18, 2026, at Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Parish, Bani, Pangasinan.

Gathered in faith and unity, our Lectors and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHC) participated in a day of prayer, reflection, and spiritual renewal, allowing them to deepen their relationship with Christ and reaffirm their commitment to their sacred ministries.

The commissioning ceremony marked the beginning of a renewed mission to proclaim God's Word with conviction and to serve the Body of Christ with reverence, humility, and love. May this experience inspire all our lay ministers to continue living out their vocation with unwavering faith, joyful service, and Christ-like compassion.

Let us keep our Lectors and EMHC in our prayers, that the Holy Spirit may continue to guide, strengthen, and bless them as they faithfully serve the Church and God's people.

Here I am, Lord; send me." (Isaiah 6:8)

To God be all the glory!🙏💙

Ang Kuwento ni Santo Hannibal Maria Di Francia

Si Saint Hannibal Mary Di Francia ay isinilang noong Hulyo 5, 1851 sa Messina. Bata pa lamang siya ay kilala na sa kanyang pagiging maka-Diyos at mapagmahal sa kapwa. Maaga niyang naranasan ang pagkawala ng kanyang ama, isang pangyayaring nagpatibay sa kanyang pananampalataya at pagtitiwala sa Diyos.

Habang siya ay lumalaki at naghahanda para sa pagkapari, napansin niya ang matinding kahirapan sa kanilang lungsod. Isang araw, nakilala niya ang isang mahirap at halos bulag na lalaki na nagngangalang Francesco Zancone. Sa pamamagitan ni Zancone, nakita ni Hannibal ang kalagayan ng mga pamilyang naninirahan sa pinakamahihirap na lugar ng Messina. Maraming bata ang walang pagkain, tirahan, at edukasyon.

Dahil dito, nagpasya siyang ialay ang kanyang buhay sa pagtulong sa mga mahihirap at sa pagpapalaganap ng Ebanghelyo. Bilang pari, nagtayo siya ng mga tahanan para sa mga ulila, paaralan para sa mga bata, at mga institusyong nag-aaruga sa mga nangangailangan. Hindi lamang niya sila binigyan ng materyal na tulong kundi pati ng pag-asa at pagmamahal.

Ang sentro ng kanyang misyon ay ang salita ni Hesus sa Ebanghelyo:

“Humingi kayo sa Panginoon ng anihin upang magpadala siya ng mga manggagawa sa kanyang anihin.” (Mateo 9:38)

Mula sa salitang Latin na "Rogate" na nangangahulugang “manalangin,” isinulong niya ang panalangin para sa mga bokasyon sa pagkapari at buhay relihiyoso. Dahil dito, tinagurian siyang Apostol ng Panalangin para sa mga Bokasyon.

Upang maipagpatuloy ang kanyang misyon, itinatag niya ang Rogationists of the Heart of Jesus at ang Daughters of Divine Zeal. Ang dalawang kongregasyong ito ay patuloy na naglilingkod sa iba't ibang bansa sa pamamagitan ng edukasyon, pagkalinga sa mga bata, at pagtataguyod ng mga bokasyon.

Pumanaw si San Hannibal noong Hunyo 1, 1927, ngunit nanatiling buhay ang kanyang misyon sa buong mundo. Noong Mayo 16, 2004, siya ay idineklarang santo ni Pope John Paul II.

Aral mula kay San Hannibal

* Ang tunay na kabanalan ay makikita sa pagmamahal sa mga mahihirap.
* Ang panalangin ay may kapangyarihang magbago ng buhay.
* Ang bawat tao ay maaaring maging instrumento ng Diyos sa pagtulong sa iba.
* Mahalaga ang pagtugon sa tawag ng Diyos nang may pananampalataya at kababaang-loob.

Motto ni San Hannibal:
"Rogate Ergo" “Manalangin kayo sa Panginoon ng anihin.”🙏🏻

Saint Hannibal Mary Di Francia, pray for us.
Send, O Lord, Holy Apostles into Your Church.
