Last Sunday, March
23, 2014, the parish formally launched the Year of the Laity (YOL) during the
10:00AM mass by Father JB
Abellana together with the PPC EXECOM. FJB read
the Bishop’s promulgation after which the PPC Chaircouple, Kuya Tony and Ate
Lina Feliciano, unveiled the YOL banner in front of the congregation. PPC Asst
Chaircouple Kuya Peter and Ate Lina Tamayo then read the explanation of the
YOL.
FJB, in his homily,
exhorted the laity on their role as active participants in the spiritual life
of the parish and that without them, no matter how good the parish priest may
be, the parish will not thrive. He emphasized that it is the active and
communal participation of the laity that will make the parish a vibrant
community serving and building one another as it journeys towards building
God’s kingdom.
After the homily,
FJB then proceeded to install the PPC EXECOM, the Heads of the different
Commissions and the Ministry Heads. They
then professed their commitment to serve the parish in their capacity as lay
leaders and promote Gospel evangelization throughout the parish. After
Communion, Kuya Tony Feliciano led the Litany of Gratitude while Ate Lina
Feliciano delivered their message for the occasion. A simple meal at the St.
Joseph Hall followed.
