Last February 22, 2026, the Parish Youth Council conducted the 2nd Love Ablaze: Youth Ministry's Valentine's Special at Shrine Garden Pavilion. ๐๐ป๐๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฆ๐. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ, โ๐ช๐ถ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ, ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐, ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป๐, ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด,โ the gathering brought together youth servants in a meaningful event centered on love and service.
We were blessed to have ๐๐ฟ๐ผ. ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐, the Youth Coordinator of Sta. Cruz Parish as our ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐ข๐๐ ๐ง๐๐จ๐ค๐ช๐ง๐๐ ๐จ๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐๐ง for this event. His inspiring talk reminded the youth that they are already loved by God, called to love others and sent on a mission of love through service. He also emphasized that self-love is not selfishness, but a necessary foundation for loving others.
The program also featured a series of interactive and engaging activities facilitated by the Parish Youth Council, including the ๐๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐๐บ๐ผ๐ท๐ถ ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ, ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐, and a ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ-๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป where the youth expressed love and appreciation creatively. The event concluded with special awards recognizing the enthusiasm and participation of our kakabsat.
More than just a Valentineโs event, โLove Ablazeโ became a heartfelt reminder for our kakabsat to live out love each day: grounded in faith, nurtured by ministry and shared through simple acts of service. โค๏ธ๐ฅ
