As we celebrate Pentecost Sunday — the “Birthday of the Church” — we remember the moment when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles, filling them with courage, wisdom, and zeal to continue Christ’s mission. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Church was born and empowered to serve God and His people.

In this spirit of renewal and mission, our Lay Liturgical Ministers of the Altar gathered for the Rite of Commissioning and Renewal of Commitment to Service. With hearts open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, they once again answered the call to faithfully serve in the sacred liturgy with humility, devotion, and love.

May this commissioning remind us that ministry is not merely a responsibility, but a vocation rooted in service, faith, and discipleship. As one Church, may we continue to become instruments of God’s presence, bringing others closer to Christ through our words, actions, and ministry.

The Commission on Liturgical Music (ComLitMus) of the Archdiocese of Caceres successfully held the 5𝙩𝙝 𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙧 𝙁𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 & 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙥 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙇𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙈𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙨 on 16 May 2026 at the Holy Rosary Major Seminary, Naga City, drawing 183 participants from various parishes and institutions across the Archdiocese.

Anchored on the theme “𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝘽𝙤𝙙𝙮, 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙑𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚”, the annual formation program forms part of the Archdiocese’s continuing commitment to strengthen liturgical ministry, especially in light of its 75th Anniversary of Elevation as an Archdiocese, celebrated under the banner “Gabos Kaayon, Gabos May Gibuhon.”

The day opened with registration and fellowship at 7:00 AM, followed by an opening prayer. Fr. Xavier R. Amoroso, S.Th.L., M.A., Director of the Commission on Liturgical Music, delivered the plenary talk “One Body, One Voice.” He emphasized unity in mission, the spirituality of service, and the call for musicians to become instruments of harmony in their communities.

A health break followed, leading into the plenary workshop “Many Gifts, One Mission.” This segment highlighted practical demonstrations and shared experiences from two parish choirs:
– Laudate Dominum Choir of Our Lady of Peñafrancia Parish, Naga City
– Metanoia Choir of St. Rose of Lima Parish, Anayan, Pili

Their performances served as springboards for a rich exchange of best practices, showcasing how choirs can better support congregational singing, improve vocal blend, and manage rehearsals with greater collaboration.

Workshop resource speakers included:
– Engr. Clang Anagao (Laudate Dominum Choir)
– Mrs. Amelia Ambion (Metanoia Choir)
– Mr. & Mrs. Jay and Christine Reyes (St. Anthony of Padua Choir, Camaligan)

After each musical rendition, the speakers briefly shared challenges they encountered in ministry, such as maintaining vocal unity, encouraging active participation from the assembly, and sustaining disciplined practice schedules, along with the practical steps they took to overcome them. Their insights offered participants concrete, relatable guidance for strengthening their own parish choirs.

The formation continued with an Open Dialogue (Q&A) followed by the distribution of certificates. The event concluded at noon with the singing of Salve Regina and lunch, marking another fruitful year of learning, collaboration, and shared mission among the liturgical musicians of Caceres.
