St. Clement's Church Pastoral Care and Counseling Ministry

Dear Parishioners and Devotees of Our Mother of Perpetual Help,

We continue to serve as your Volunteer Pastoral Counselors & Pastoral Helpers. We care about you and your well-being. Please stay safe & hydrated.

God bless!

March 15. Feast of St. Clement Maria Hofbauer

The "St. Paul" of the Redemptorists. He brought the Congregation outside of Italy. Amidst difficulty and even lack of support he persevered coupled with his resourcefulness and creativity. May we be like St Clement that when we find ourselves at our quitting points, we endure and trust God’s grace. We cross beyond the "Alps" of our lives just so God's plentiful redemption will become an experience not only by a select few but by all.

Happy Hofbauer Day Redemptorist-verse!

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to our Volunteer Guidance Counselors & Pastoral Helpers, Parish Staff, Brgy. Officials, Resident-Survivors & Fr. B**g Puzon, C.Ss.R, our Spiritual Director & Parish Priest for a meaningful & successful psycho-social support/stress debriefing on the Brgy. San Nicolas, La Paz fire incident last February 18, 2024. This was done after the anniversary mass with candle lighting & blessing held this afternoon, February 25, 2024 at the site of the fire incident.
We continue to pray for our survivors as they journey towards healing & recovery.

"Today, I will trust that the events in my life are not random. My experiences are not a mistake. The universe, my Higher Power, and life are not picking on me. I am going through what I need to go through to learn something valuable, something that will prepare me for the joy and love I am seeking." - Melody Beattie
