With hearts filled with gratitude and joy, we warmly welcome and extend our heartfelt congratulations to Most Rev. Cyril B.

ANNOUNCEMENT from the CATHEDRAL PARISH of ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST.

Please be guided accordingly ☺

17/11/2025

The Barangay sang Virgen Parish of St. John the Baptist recently paid a special visit to one of our pioneering members, Sis. Rebecca “Jovit” Dela Cruz, who is now 98 years old and will be celebrating her 99th birthday this coming December. As part of our apostolate to visit the sick and the elderly, the community gathered around Nanay Jovit to offer her our Pagbinarangay songs—melodies of prayer, love, and unity.

During our visit, Nanay Jovit joyfully reminisced about her younger years, especially her time as one of the Samaritanas of “SaMARIA.” She fondly recalled how she used to play the violin with great skill and devotion, contributing her music to the life of the parish and the community.

The visit became a beautiful moment of connection between generations—honoring her legacy, celebrating her life, and reminding us of the enduring grace and faith that she has shared with the Barangay sang Virgen for decades. Her stories and gentle smiles continue to inspire us to serve with compassion, humility, and love.

Padayon sa PAGKILAEA, PAGHIGUGMA, PAG-ALAGAD paadto kay Hesus paagi kay MARIA! Kay Maria! Kay Maria! ❤️💛😇🙏
