Welcome to Paradise – Days 4 & 5 🌿✨

The final days of the festival were spent surrounded by the beauty of creation.

During our free time, many of us went to the river, enjoying nature, friendship, and the gift of simply being together. Even our morning prayer took place outdoors, where we contemplated God’s goodness through the beauty of His creation.

One of the most powerful moments came in the evening, when some participants chose to invite God to take the driver’s seat of their “tricycle” and received the baptism in the Holy Spirit. It was a beautiful step of trust and surrender to God’s love.

We made the most of our last evening together—celebrating with dancing, laughter, and, of course, Filipino-style karaoke! 🎤🇵🇭

On the final day, after our last conference and the closing Mass, we returned home with grateful hearts.

The festival may have ended, but the mission continues.

Now it is our turn to bring love, joy, and holiness into our families, schools, workplaces, and everyday lives.

Because holiness isn’t meant to stay at a festival—it is meant to be lived every day. 💛

Welcome to Paradise – Day 3 🌿✨

After two joyful and energetic days, Day 3 invited us to slow down and turn our hearts toward God.

It was a day dedicated to reflecting on one simple question: Where is God in my life?

We enjoyed workshops, à la carte activities, sports, and moments of rest—creating space to listen, reflect, and simply be.

In the afternoon, we walked the Way of Mercy, followed by small-group sharing in our fraternities, where we reflected on the theme: “Where is God in my tricycle?”—discovering how He is present in the ordinary journey of our everyday lives.

As the sun set, we entered one of the most meaningful moments of every Welcome to Paradise festival: the Evening of Reconciliation.

It was a peaceful and grace-filled time to be reconciled with God, with others, and with ourselves. There was an opportunity for confession, Heart to Heart conversations with brothers and sisters, writing letters, prayer, and other activities that invited us to take a step toward forgiveness, healing, and deeper freedom.

Sometimes the quietest moments are the ones that transform us the most. 💛

Welcome to Paradise – Days 1 & 2 🌴✨

The first two days of the festival were all about becoming a community.

We left the busy city behind and surrounded ourselves with nature, giving ourselves the chance to slow down, disconnect from the rush of everyday life, and reflect on a simple but profound question:

What is holiness, and is it really for me?

Our journey began with an Olympic-style team challenge that helped us quickly get to know one another through games, laughter, and teamwork. 🏃‍♀️💛

The first evening brought a beautiful artistic program and our first time of prayer together, setting the tone for the days ahead.

On the second day, we had the privilege of listening to our bishop, who reminded us that the lives of the saints—and the Christian life itself—are about doing ordinary things in an extraordinary way through love.

Throughout the day, we also took part in workshops where our guests shared about God’s unconditional love and about building healthy, life-giving relationships.

These first days laid the foundation for everything that followed: friendship, faith, and a growing desire to discover that holiness is not for a few—it is a calling for each one of us. 💛

There is more. ✨

These three words accompanied us throughout Welcome to Paradise—the very first edition of the festival in Asia and the first ever in the Philippines.

And there is more… that’s why today we’re sharing only the first glimpse of this incredible adventure. More photos and memories are still to come, so stay tuned! 📸💛

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this festival so special. It was a joy to welcome participants from across the Philippines and Hong Kong, and to experience together what it truly means to be one family in Christ.

It was a time of building community, creating genuine friendships, and encountering the living God in a real and personal way.

Our theme this year was “Holiness. No Less.” We discovered that holiness is not reserved for a few extraordinary people—it is the calling of each one of us. Holiness begins in everyday life, by doing ordinary things with extraordinary love.

These may look like ordinary photos, but behind every smile, every conversation, every prayer, and every shared meal, something extraordinary happened.

This is only the beginning.

There is more. 💛✨

✨ A joyful celebration for our SanLo family! ✨

Recently, we had the great joy of celebrating the First Mass of our newly ordained priests, Fr. Timothé and Fr. Charles. We give thanks to God for their vocation and rejoice with them as they begin this beautiful mission of serving His people. 🙏

After the Mass, our whole community gathered to pray over our new priests, asking God to strengthen and guide them in their ministry.

As we were also celebrating Father’s Day, we took a special moment to pray for all fathers, thanking them for their love, dedication, and presence in our lives.

It was a beautiful experience of being one family in Christ. ❤️

The celebration continued as we shared a joyful meal with students, friends, staff, children from our Social Mission, and the young people from PIC. Thank you to everyone who made this day so special!

May God continue to bless Fr. Timothé, Fr. Charles, and all the fathers in our community. ✨
