Dear Friends, Benefactors, and Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
We joyfully share that the convent of our Mission Station is now complete and is awaiting its formal turnover. This long-awaited project has become a reality through the generosity and sacrifices of so many people whom God has sent to accompany our mission. In a special way, we express our heartfelt gratitude to Rev. Fr. Edwin Diaz, who, together with his friends and benefactors, generously raised and paid ₱1,237,000 toward the total project cost of ₱1,800,000. We thank him and all who have shared in this work of love, for they have helped build not merely a structure, but a home for the Church's mission.
Following the unexpected transfer of Fr. Edwin and my assumption of the ministry on March 2, 2026, I have inherited the responsibility of completing the financial commitment for this project. We are now faced with settling the remaining balance of ₱563,000. This convent is more than a residence—it will serve as the permanent lodging and place of rest for the priest-ministers assigned to our Mission Station. It will be a stable home where they can find prayer, renewal, and repose after faithfully ministering their pastoral duties, enabling them to continue serving our community with greater dedication, joy, and availability.
It is with great humility and trust in God's providence that I now knock upon your generous hearts. Whatever assistance you can offer—whether great or small—will bring us one step closer to fulfilling this obligation and completing this important chapter in the life of our Mission Station. Every gift is a concrete expression of faith, a partnership in the Church's mission, and a legacy.
We assure you of our deepest gratitude, our daily prayers, and a remembrance for you and your loved ones in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. May the Lord will remember your generosity, reward your kindness abundantly and bless you with His enduring peace.
Sincerely yours in Jesus, the Nazarene,
Fr. RAY BERNARD B. MARTINEZ
