KOA CONVENTION 2026
⚜️KOTAS (Knights of the Altar Servers) Convention 2026, held at St. Francis Xavier College Seminary and embraced by Mary Help of Christians Parish, was more than just a gathering—it was a celebration of faith, fellowship, and the enduring brotherhood of altar servers. United at the altar, we were strengthened by our shared mission of service and devotion. In every prayer, every smile, and every moment of camaraderie, we discovered the true meaning of fellowship: a bond that goes beyond duty, rooted in love for God and one another.
We extend our deepest gratitude to Brother John Raymond Montejo, SDB, whose guidance, humility, and unwavering dedication continue to inspire us. His example reminds us that true leadership is not about recognition, but about service—quietly lifting others, nurturing their growth, and pointing them toward the light of Christ.
We also honor and thank the Convention Committees, whose tireless efforts and devotion made this gathering possible:
• Safety and Security Committee – for ensuring the protection and well-being of all participants.
• Logistics Committee – for their careful planning and seamless coordination of every detail.
• Food Committee – for providing nourishment and hospitality that strengthened both body and spirit.
• Finance/Budget Committee – for their stewardship and dedication in sustaining the convention.
• Sports Committee – for fostering camaraderie, teamwork, and joyful fellowship through play.
• Care Committee – for their compassion and attentiveness, ensuring that every participant felt supported and valued throughout the convention.
As Knights of the Altar, we carry forward this spirit of fellowship, strengthened by the lessons of this convention and the legacy of those who guide us. May our service always reflect the joy of community, the strength of brotherhood, and the grace of God’s presence in our lives.⚜️
