"A priest is not and must not be a civil servant of the Church. Above all, a priest is a man who lives for the spirit for God." - Pope John Paul II
The whole community of the Parish of the Blessed Trinity greets our former Parish Priest and Good Shepherd, Rev. Msgr. Manuel C. Sta. Maria, a blessed and grace-filled birthday.
You have influenced so many lives positively through your words of wisdom. You have shown a good example to all of us in your ministry, and you have remained steadfast in your service. May Godโs goodness and mercy continue to be with you today and always. May the Lordโs blessings continue to be with you and your family, and may His words continue to move you from strength to strength.
Once again, a blessed and grace-filled birthday, Among Manny!

Your welcoming smile and loving guidance have touched countless lives, inspiring us to walk ever closer in our journey with God.
May He continue to bless you with a long, healthy, and fruitful life filled with His divine grace. We wish you a beautiful year ahead, abundant joy in your ministry, and the deep love and support of the entire parish community. โจ๐
