PPC Guidelines Revision

The Parish Pastoral Council Constitution and By-laws which was drafted in 2001 underwent its first revision. After two months of tedious revising, the revised guidelines were presented to the PPC Assembly last November 5. The officers of the PPC together with Fr. Eric Castro alternately read the different articles and sections before the body unanimously voted for the approval. Fr. Eric and the officers signed the approved guidelines on behalf of the body.

We celebrated the culmination of the Rosary Month with our Rosario Cantada last October 24. The living rosary was participated in by the different parish organizations and ministries and the different choirs provided beautiful music. Thanks to the organizers, particularly the outgoing Worship Minister Sis. Leslee Ambrosio.

Fr. Jayvee's Ordination & Thanksgiving Mass

MMJP's pride, Fr. Jayvee Zuniga, was finally ordained to the priesthood last October 3 at the Manila Cathedral. His Eminence Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales was the ordaining prelate. Despite the threats of the super typhoon, priests and lay people still flocked the cathedral. Members of the MMJP PPC attended the ordination and the reception which followed at the Manila Cathedral School in Tayuman.

The following day, October 4, Fr. Jayvee and his family and friends were at the MMJP for his First Thanksgiving Mass. It was a very solemn celebration as Fr. Jayvee, together with some of the newly ordained priests, celebrated his first mass. His beautiful singing voice added to the solemnity of the Eucharistic celebration. A simple reception and program followed at the Cardinal Sin Hall.

I feel privileged to have been chosen by Fr. Jayvee to assist him during the investiture and to deliver the homily during his first mass.
