𝑹𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒐𝒓 𝑺𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒆, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆'𝒔 𝒏𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒖𝒔!

Even amidst the heavy downpour brought by the Habagat, we chose to push through and celebrate Altar Servers Month with grateful hearts. From the Eucharistic Celebration presided over by Rev. Fr. Jomar Claveria, to the laughter, games, swimming, and moments we shared, it was truly a celebration to remember.

We are also grateful for the opportunity to recognize our outstanding fellow servers and celebrate Father Jomar’s belated 3rd Sacerdotal Anniversary with two simple tokens of appreciation.

To our beloved Parish Priest, generous sponsors, parents, and everyone who made this celebration possible, thank you for making our day extra special. May God bless you abundantly!

The rain may have poured, but so did joy.

Here’s to more memories, stronger bonds, and a ministry that continues to serve with humility and love!

Sa loob ng buong Agosto, ipinagdiriwang natin hindi lamang ang ating paglilingkod, kundi ang biyayang maging bahagi ng buhay ng Simbahan. Sa bawat paglapit sa altar, bawat paghahanda bago ang Banal na Misa, at bawat tahimik na sandali ng paglilingkod, unti-unti nating natututuhan ang 𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙖𝙮 𝙣𝙖 𝙠𝙖𝙝𝙪𝙡𝙪𝙜𝙖𝙣 𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙠𝙤𝙙 𝙣𝙞 𝙆𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙤.

Before this month comes to an end, let us take a moment to look back with grateful hearts. Sa dami ng ating pinagdaanan, natutunan, at pinagsaluhan bilang mga altar servers, nawa’y mas lalo nating maunawaan na ang paglilingkod ay hindi nagtatapos sa isang buwan.

𝘼𝙪𝙜𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙚𝙣𝙙, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙚𝙨.
Ang pagdiriwang ay maaaring matapos, ngunit ang ating “Yes” kay Kristo ay patuloy.

Kaya bago tuluyang matapos ang buwang ito, sama-sama nating ipagdiwang ang biyaya ng paglilingkod, ang pagkakaibigan, ang pananampalataya, at ang bokasyong ipinagkatiwala sa atin.

𝐒𝐚𝐧 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨, 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐠𝐚 𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐨 𝐤𝐚𝐦𝐢.

Today, we celebrate not only three years of your priestly ministry, but also the vocation through which you continue to touch and inspire the lives of the people you serve.

As you shared in your homily today, the very first saint you ever drew was St. Francis of Assisi, something you described as a sign of God’s way of leading you toward your priestly vocation and, eventually, to our parish.

With our deepest gratitude, we thank you for being consistently supportive and present for us. Thank you for your patience in teaching us, for the lessons and wisdom you continue to share, and for always encouraging us to become better servants of God.

Thank you, Father, for showing us that serving God is not about recognition, but about faithfully giving yourself for others. Most of all, thank you for making us feel that we are never alone in our service, that you will continue to guide, support, and look after us along the way.

St. Francis reminds us that true service is rooted in humility, love, and selflessness. These are values that we continue to witness through you.

May God bless you always in your journey of serving Him and His people. 🙏

Hindi ka man tinawag upang bumuo ng sariling pamilya, pinili ka naman ng Diyos upang maging ama ng marami.

Sa mundong salat sa mga kamay na handang umakay, naging tahanan ka ng maraming naliligaw at liwanag sa mga pusong naghahanap ng pag-asa.

Salamat, Father Jo, sa pagmamahal na hindi nasusukat sa dugo, kundi sa tapat na paglilingkod at walang sawang paggabay na iyong iniaalay sa bawat isa.

Maligayang Araw ng mga Ama, Father Jo! Isa ka sa mga biyayang ipinagkaloob ng Diyos sa marami. 🩵

"𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐀𝐍 𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐀𝐑 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐄𝐑, 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐀𝐍 𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐀𝐑 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐄𝐑" 🕊️

With hearts weighed down by sorrow, the Ministry of Altar Servers of St. Francis of Assisi Parish mourns the passing of one of our beloved servers.

In this time of grief, we unite in prayer with her family and loved ones, entrusting her soul to the loving mercy of our Lord. Though her earthly service has come to an end, we find comfort in knowing that she now serves at a greater altar, embraced by eternal peace.

More than an altar server, she was a sister, a faithful servant, and a blessing to everyone who had the privilege of serving alongside her. Her warmth, gentle spirit, and the joy she brought to those around her will forever be remembered and cherished.

We humbly ask everyone to offer prayers for the eternal repose of her soul.

𝑬𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒆𝒓, 𝑶 𝑳𝒐𝒓𝒅, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒑𝒆𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒖𝒑𝒐𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒓. 𝑴𝒂𝒚 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒆. 𝑨𝒎𝒆𝒏.

You will always remain in our hearts, Sis. Alyssa. 🙏🕊
