✨🕊️PEACE, PRAYER, AND PURE VIBES! 🕊️✨

What an incredible evening of faith and unity! 🕯️

Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude after yesterday's Rosary for Peace at St. Joseph Parish. Seeing the youth from all over the vicariate come together was truly inspiring.

A huge THANK YOU to :::
~ the parish priests, who gave their permission;
~ the parents, who accompanied their sons and daughters,
~ the youth leaders, who worked together to prepare for this event;
and every single young person who showed up with their rosaries and lit candles.
Together, we answered the call of Pope Leo and the CBCP to pray for an end to the war in the Middle East.

Special thanks to Rev. Fr. Joey Corpuz for presiding over our Holy Mass and leading us in this mission of mercy.

9 ARAW NA LANG, DYD SANTA CRUZ 2025 NA!
Habang papalapit na ang ating pagdiriwang, mas lalo pa nating kilalanin ang ating host parish—Sta. Cruz, isang bayang may malalim na ugat sa pananampalataya.

📍 FUN FACT OF THE DAY:
Sa pampang ng ilog na dumadaloy sa bayan, isang kahoy na krus ang itinanim ng mga unang Kastilang manlalayag bilang tanda ng pagdating ng Kristiyanismo. Isang misyonerong Agustino, si Padre Alonso de San Agustin, ang nagsikap magpalaganap ng pananampalataya sa lugar. Mula sa Recoletos sa San Nicolas sa Maynila, nagtayo siya ng isang munting kumbento at simbahan kung saan niya bininyagan, ikinasal, at pinaglilingkuran ang mga katutubong naninirahan dito. Ang kanilang maliit na pamayanang Kristiyano ang nagsimulang maghubog sa Sta. Cruz na kilala natin ngayon. Nasaan na kaya ang krus na ito?

🔥 CHALLENGE OF THE DAY:
I-share sa comments: Ano ang pinakaunang simbahan o kapilya na naaalala mong napuntahan mo bilang bata? Kwento mo, kwento natin!

Tara na sa Santa Cruz!
9 days to go, mga kabataang peregrino!

10 ARAW NA LANG, DYD SANTA CRUZ 2025 NA!

Habang papalapit na ang ating inaasam-asam na pagdiriwang, kilalanin natin ang ating host town—ang makasaysayan at mapagmahal na bayan ng Sta. Cruz!

📍 FUN FACT OF THE DAY:
Alam mo ba? Ang bayan ng Sta. Cruz ay opisyal na naitatag noong 1612, sa panahong unti-unti pang nabubuo ang mga pamayanan sa Zambales. Bago pa man ito kilalanin bilang Sta. Cruz, tinatawag itong “Sigayan,” na ayon sa tala ay maaaring nagmula sa sinaunang bangkang ginagamit ng mga unang naninirahan dito. Sa pagdaan ng mga taon at paglago ng pananampalataya, tinanggap ng lugar ang pangalang Sta. Cruz, tanda ng kanilang matibay na debosyon at pagkakaisa bilang komunidad.

🔥CHALLENGE OF THE DAY:
I-share sa comments ang isang bagong natutunan mong trivia tungkol sa lugar kung saan ka nakatira!
Sabay-sabay tayong maglakbay sa kasaysayan habang papalapit ang DYD! Sino ang may pinaka-unique na fun fact?

Tara na sa Santa Cruz!
Magkita-kita tayo, mga kabataang peregrino!

DALAWANG TULOG NA LANG… SanDiwa na!

“Sa bawat alab ng sigla, sa bawat sindi ng paglilingkod, at sa bawat tibok ng pagkakaisa — may isang diwa na nagbubuklod sa ating lahat.”

Bilang paghahanda sa kauna-unahang Diocesan Youth Sports Festival at Fellowship — SanDiwa 2025: Isang Diwa ng Kabataan, aming ipinagmamalaki ang opisyal na logo — isang sagisag ng pananampalataya, pag-asa, at pag-ibig na siyang nagbibigay-buhay sa ating pagkakaisa bilang kabataang Kristiyano.

Sa gitna ng sagisag ay ang SULO, tanda ng apoy ng sportsmanship at liwanag ng camaraderie. Ang sulo ay binubuo ng tatlong pigura ng kabataan —
💙 Asul para sa Pananampalataya (San Sebastian Vicariate),
💚 Luntian para sa Pag-asa (Olongapo Vicariate), at
❤️ P**a para sa Pag-ibig (North Vicariate).

Tatlong kulay, tatlong vicariate, isang diwa — iisang kabataang naglilingkod, nagmamahal, at nag-aalab kay Kristo.

Mula sa kanilang pagkakaisa, sumisiklab ang apoy ng “Alab” — sagisag ng ating sigasig at dedikasyon sa paglilingkod, habang sa puso ng sulo ay nakapaloob ang Krus ni Kristo, tanda na sa Kanya nagmumula ang lahat ng ating lakas, tagumpay, at inspirasyon.

Ito ang diwa ng SanDiwa 2025 — nagkakaisa kay Kristo, nag-aalab sa paglilingkod, at nagliliwanag sa pananampalataya, pag-asa, at pag-ibig.

Ipanalangin natin ang tagumpay ng pagtitipong ito at ang kaligtasan ng lahat ng kalahok at tagapaglingkod.

Kung nais mong masaksihan ang mga laro at kasiyahan, pumunta sa San Antonio, Zambales sa Nobyembre 15, 2025!
