Council 5576 turns over Garbage Rack and Bicycle Rack (good for 10 bicycles) to the National Shrine of the Sacred Heart. Receiving in behalf of the Shrine is Rev. Fr. Eric Castro.

Shrine parishioners may now park/lock their bicycles safely near the Guard House. We hope that all Churches in Green Makati could provide similar bicycle racks for their parishoners.

Vivat Jesus!

Divorce is a reflection of how broken we are as individuals and as a society. It's not a long-term solution for the problems we created ourselves.

We want divorce because we've never been taught the things we ought to have learned before getting married:

1. Understanding what marriage really is and why you're getting married (clue, it's not just for love alone);

2. Being aware and working out all your personal issues and traumas before entering a relationship so you don't inflict your pain on your partner;

3. Observing potential boyfriends/girlfriends with a discerning eye to spot potential red flags;

4. Being clear with the alignment of your values and temperaments once you've started dating and before getting engaged. If your values don't align and your temperaments clash, it's going to be an uphill battle even before you get married, more so after the wedding.

Yes, it's important to say but it is more essential that we start teaching these 4 things to our young people. Let go of the brokenness first, offer it up to God so He can make you whole; and instead of adding more brokenness to your family and to society, be an instrument of their healing.
