Fiesta 2009 and 10th Sacedotal Anniversary

It was a wonderful weekend. The parish fiesta was as festive as ever without losing solemnity through the meaningful liturgical celebrations. Bishop Tagle was in his usual element during his homily which some commented as very good lenten recollection points. The altar design was "first class" according to my Jesuit formator and Vice Provincial of the Society of Jesus, Fr. Bill Abbott, SJ. Of course thanks to the very creative catechists and worship committee. The liturgy was smooth and solemn. My close friends from San Jose Seminary came: Fr. Egay, Fr. Albert, Fr. Edwin Mercado and my classmate Fr. Emmy Dumadag who will also celebrate his 10th anniversary this year. My family was there also enjoying the photo ops with the bishop and other guests. Here's looking forward to more fruitful years ahead! Go MMJP!

Misteryo Paskwal: Gabay sa Kaganapan ng Buhay

The theme of this year's 9th Parish Fiesta is based on the MAGPAS theme for this year's lay formation program: Misteryo Paskwal, Gabay sa Kaganapan ng Buhay. We have invited guest priests for the novena masses. We are also lucky to have Bishop Luis Antonio "Chito" Tagle of the Diocese of Imus as main presider for the Fiesta Mass.
