Dear Pastor Carlo,
Today marks a bittersweet moment for all of us in Palanan United Methodist Church family. While our hearts are saddened by your departure, we are also filled with gratitude and joy as you begin another journey in the ministry God has prepared for you.
From the very beginning, you became more than just a pastor to us — you became a living example of humility, kindness, and genuine faith. Despite the blessings and comfort you have in life, you remained incredibly simple, approachable, and down-to-earth. Your sincerity touched many hearts, and your hardworking spirit inspired us in ways words cannot fully express.
We are truly blessed and honored to have been part of your ministry. Through your sermons, prayers, and daily example, you taught us not only about God’s Word but also about living life with hope, positivity, compassion, and faith. Your positive outlook in life encouraged many of us during difficult times, reminding us always to trust in God’s plan.
One thing we will never forget is your love for children. (Poreng’s 1st Patto will always be in her heart) The joy and care you showed them reflected the pure love of Christ. You made every child feel important, valued, and loved. That kindness alone has planted seeds of faith that will continue to grow for years to come.
Pastor Carlo, thank you for every prayer you offered, every sacrifice you made, every lesson you shared, and every moment you spent serving our congregation with a genuine heart. Your presence brought warmth, unity, and encouragement to our church family.
As you embark on your new mission assignment, please know that a part of Palanan United Methodist Church from UMYF,UMYAF, WSCS and UMM will always go with you. Though distance may separate us, your teachings, memories, and impact in our lives will remain forever in our hearts.
We pray that God continues to guide, strengthen, and bless you abundantly in your new journey. May He use you even more powerfully to touch lives, spread His love, and inspire many people just as you inspired us.
Thank you, Pastor Carlo, for being a faithful servant of God and a wonderful shepherd to our church family.
You will always be loved, remembered, and appreciated.
With love, prayers, and gratitude,
Mahal ka namin palagi, Patto Carlo!
-Your Palanan United Methodist Church Family❤️🙏
