He is Risen!!!!

Seek what is above, where Christ is.

Col 3:1-4 or I Cor 5:6b-8

Brothers and sisters:
If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Think of what is above, not of what is on earth.
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
When Christ your life appears,
then you too will appear with him in glory.

Happy Easter Sunday Everyone!!♡♡

Martes Santo|March 26,2024

Parish Penitential Service
Grand Confession

Why do we need Confession?
Confession allows us to hold ourselves accountable for these sins and seek true forgiveness. The soul needs confession to cleanse itself, allowing us to repair our relationship with Christ.
We are all sinners so let's not say that we have no sin, let's always remember that only Jesus is without the stain of sin. So we confess to reducing our sins.

Thanks to our Parish Priest Fr. Marlowe Patigdas and to other priests who helped so that everyone could confess. And to all those who attended and participate, We will always remember that Confession is important.

Lenten Season| March 22, 2024

Last Friday of Lent

Similar to the Stations of the Cross, the Via Matris focuses on seven moments in the lives of Mary and her son, Jesus.

Every last Friday of Lent we celebrate the Viernes de Dolores, to remind us that the day is approaching to commemorate the sickness of our Lord, and of Mary, his Mother.

May we always pray to the love of the Virgin Mary Mother of God who mourns every wound and death of her Son.

We thanked all those who participated in the Station of the cross held at the San Rafael Chapel in Barangay Tabagak.

“As Lent is the time for greater love, listen to Jesus’ thirst…’Repent and believe’ Jesus tells us. What are we to repent? Our indifference, our hardness of heart. What are we to believe? Jesus thirsts even now, in your heart and in the poor — He knows your weakness. He wants only your love, wants only the chance to love you.”
- Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta
