HappyNew Year!

Dear fellow co-journeyers:

A GRACE-FILLED NEW YEAR TO ALL!

We have several reasons to be happy for - God loves us so much that he provided us with our needs and helped us lead a meaningful life.

The year that has passed has been a blessing for all of us in many ways. We have gone through various challenges and trials in life, yet, we victoriously survived and gracefully moved on to realize our hopes and dreams for our loved ones.

Year 2016 was a great epiphanic presence to us of God’s paternal faithfulness, filial loving care and creative wisdom in our faith and life’s journey. Thank you so much Lord for not giving up on us and for teaching us to learn how to be selfless, charitable and compassionate to others, especially the lost, the least and the last.

Year 2017 is another hope-filled journey to start. We are called to affirm the goodness of God and the beauty of life. We are challenged to promote just and humane social and personal relationships and to protect mother earth, our common home. Let us always bear in mind that 2017 is another year of the Lord. This year is another year for all of us to live in communion with God, with one another as community of families witnessing God’s mercy and compassion.

Your Co-journeyer,

FR. REU JOSE C. GALOY, OFM

Parish Bulletin

On the Solemnity of the Mother of God, the highest and most significant title of Our Blessed Mother, we take stock of what was done in the preceding year. Indeed many things were done in this event full year.

On this occasion, I am also reminded of a quote from Saint Theresa of Calcutta as paraphrased by the Queen of England “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

When our Blessed Mother was raising Jesus, I do not think she thought of herself as a Very Important Person. From a very humble beginning in the manger, our Lord lived obscurely for most part of his life until the beginning of his ministry.

I would like to thank everyone for doing their bit and giving their all for our parish WITH GREAT LOVE and MERCY. May we all have a Very happy New Year.
