Cherishing these final moments together is truly bittersweet. Bug-at sa kasingkasing maghunahuna nga magbulag na ang atong dalan sa pagkakaron, but we find comfort in knowing that this goodbye only hurts because the bond we shared was so meaningful. As you both step into your next chapters, one to shepherd a new parish, and the other to continue his journey to the priesthood, our whole community stands with you in prayer.
To Father Padz Jhez,
As one parish family, dako kaayo mig pasalamat kanimo, Padre, for your time, your patient care, and the spiritual guidance you so generously gave us. Thank you for always pushing us to rise above our doubts and fears, and for helping our faith grow into what it is today. We have been incredibly blessed to have had you as our shepherd for the past three years.
Even with your incredibly busy schedule, you always found ways to make sure we were well-guided and managed. We are so grateful for how you trusted and empowered us by bringing in deacons and seminarians to work closely with us. By doing this, you didn't just manage the parish; you intentionally created opportunities to expose us to new leadership, bringing out the best in us and preparing our community for the future. More than being our priest, you became a visionary mentor.
As you move to your new assignment, please carry the love and prayers of this entire parish with you. May God continue to guide your hands and heart as you serve His people in your new community. Dili ka namo malimtan, Padre J! You will always have a home here.
To Brother Ronnier Aguirre,
Daghang salamat usab kanimo, Bro, for the beautiful two months you shared with us. Though your time leading us was short, we feel so blessed to have been a part of your very first steps in the ministry. As you return to the seminary, please know that the energy, leadership, and friendship you brought to our parish will leave a lasting mark on our hearts.
May the Lord strengthen your heart, grant you wisdom in your studies, and keep the fire of your vocation burning brightly. I-ampo ka namo kanunay sa imong panaw padulong sa altar.
Ending a beautiful chapter, starting a new mission. Kuyogan unta kamo kanunay sa grasya ug panalangin sa Ginoo. Daghang salamat ug hinaot magkakitakita ra ta puhon!
