St. Mark the Evangelist Gimong-Jacmal

28/07/2026

Today marks the beginning of a meaningful journey as we started the church improvement of St. Mark Gimong. It is more than just repairing and improving a building; it is a shared mission of faith, love, and service. Every effort, every helping hand, and every contribution reflects the unity of our parish community in honoring God through His house.

As we witnessed the first day of the improvement, we were reminded that the Church is not only made of bricks, wood, and concrete, but also of people whose hearts are willing to serve. This undertaking is a testament to our commitment to preserve a sacred place where generations can continue to worship, pray, and grow in their faith.

May this improvement inspire more people to offer their time, talents, and resources for the glory of God. We pray that the Lord will bless every volunteer, donor, and worker with strength, safety, and abundant grace. Through the intercession of St. Mark the Evangelist, may this project be completed successfully and become a lasting symbol of our faith, unity, and hope for the future.

Special thanks to Fr. Victor Munar for the big help in realizing the plans and dreams of our Gimong. Also to our parish priest, Fr. Ric Amiling Jr. for the support.

St. Mark the Evangelist, pray for us🙏

Reflection for the 5th Sunday of Lent

The Gospel this Sunday, centered on the story of Jesus Christ raising Lazarus, invites us to look deeply into our own experiences of grief, waiting, and hope.

First, we are reminded of a powerful truth: Jesus is never absent in our moments of sorrow. Like Martha and Mary, we sometimes feel that God is late, distant, or silent. Yet the reality is that He is always present—even in the pain. God does not cause suffering, but He allows it to strengthen and deepen our faith. In our darkest moments, He is quietly working, preparing something greater than we can see.

Second, the encounter of Martha and Mary with Jesus teaches us about our tendency to live either in the past or in the future. Martha speaks of the resurrection on the last day, focusing on what will come. But Jesus brings her back to the present moment, declaring that *He Himself is the Resurrection and the Life.* Often, we wait for “someday” to experience God’s power, forgetting that He is already with us now. Resurrection is not just an event—it is a person, and that person is Jesus.

Lastly, we are invited to reflect on our own “graves.” These may not be physical tombs, but burdens, sins, fears, or struggles that trap us and hold us back from life. Sometimes we ask, “When will this be gone?” But the Gospel reminds us that resurrection requires participation. When Jesus called Lazarus out, others had to roll away the stone. In the same way, we are called to cooperate with God’s grace—to act, to trust, and to move. We must take part in His salvific plan if we truly desire new life.

As we journey closer to Holy Week, may we trust that Jesus stands before our own “tombs,” calling us by name. And may we have the courage to step out, leaving behind whatever binds us, and walk into the life He offers.

This Christmas, may we remember that the greatest gift is not what we receive, but what we give. In sharing our time, love, kindness, and compassion—especially to those in need—we reflect the true meaning of Christmas. May our giving bring hope, joy, and light to every heart we touch.

Fr. Jupri, on his homily,reminded us this Christmas of the space where Jesus can truly come.
As we gaze upon the Belen, we are invited to reflect on its characters and the virtues they embody.

Joseph shows us loyalty and courage—the strength to remain faithful even when the path is uncertain and difficult. Mary teaches us humble obedience and total trust in God’s will. The shepherds, simple and ordinary people, reveal lives lived with integrity, humility, and openness to God’s presence.

This Christmas, we are called to be like Joseph, Mary, and the shepherds—people who make room in their hearts, lives, and daily choices for Jesus. For it is in hearts that are humble, faithful, and sincere that Christ is truly born.
