10 HULYO 2016 IKA-15 LINGGO SA KARANIWANG PANAHON - K BERDE
+Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon
ayon kay San Lucas (Lu 10:25-37)
Noong panahong iyon, may
isang eskribang lumapit kay Hesus upang siya‟y subukin. “Guro,” aniya, “ano ang dapat kong gawin upang magkamit ng buhay na walang hanggan?” Sumagot si Hesus, “Ano ang nakasulat sa Kautusan? Ano ang nababasa mo roon?” Tumugon siya, “ „Ibigin mo ang Panginoon mong Diyos nang buong puso, nang buong kaluluwa, nang buong lakas, at nang buong pag-iisip‟; at „Ibigin mo ang iyong kapwa gaya ng iyong sarili.‟ ” “Tama ang sagot mo,” wika ni Hesus. “Gawin mo iyan at mabubuhay ka.” Sa hangad ng eskriba na huwag siyang lumabas na kahiya-hiya, tinanong niya uli si Hesus, “Sino naman ang aking kapwa?”
Sumagot si Hesus: “May isang taong naglalakbay buhat sa Jerusalem, patungong Jerico. Hinarang siya ng mga tulisan, kinuha pati damit sa katawan, binugbog at halos patay na nang
iwan. Nagkataong dumaan doon ang isang saserdote at pagkakita sa taong nakahandusay, siya‟y lumihis at nagpatuloy ng kanyang lakad. Dumaan din ang isang Levita, ngunit tiningnan lamang niya ito at nagpatuloy ng kanyang lakad. Ngunit may isang Samaritanong naglalakbay na naparaan doon. Nakita niya ang hinarang at siya‟y nahabag. Lumapit siya, binusan ng langis at alak ang mga sugat nito at tinalian. Saka isinakay ang tao sa kanyang sinasakyang hayop, dinala sa bahay-panuluyan, at inalagaan doon.
PAANYAYA
Inaayayahan po ang lahat para sa
SIMULA NG 3 TAON TUNGO SA IKA-
125 HUBILEYO NG SJBP SA 2019, sa
pamamagitan ng Misa ng
Pasasalamat na gaganapin sa
Hulyo 15, 2016, ika-122
Anibersaryo ng ating Parokya.

Kinabukasan, dumukot siya ng dalawang denaryo, ibinigay sa may-ari ng bahay-panuluyan at sinabi, „Alagaan mo siya, at kung magkano man ang kakulangan niyan, babayaran ko sa aking pagbabalik.‟
Sino ngayon sa palagay mo ang nagpakita ng kanyang pakikipagkapwa sa taong hinarang ng mga tulisan?” tanong ni Hesus. “Ang nagpakita ng habag sa kanya,” tugon ng eskriba. Sinabi sa kanya ni Hesus, “Humayo ka‟t gayon din ang gawin mo.”
PAGNINILAY SA IKA-15 LINGGO
SA KARANIWANG PANAHON (Deuteronomio 30:10-14; Colosas
1:15-20; Lucas 10:25-37)
ni Msgr. Nestor C. Cerbo
PAKSA: ANO ANG DAPAT NATING
GAWIN UPANG MAGKAMIT NG
BUHAY NA WALANG HANGGAN?
Sa Ebanghelyo (Lucas 10:25-37), noong
tinanong ng isang eskriba ang
Panginoong Hesus, “Ano ang dapat
kong gawin upang magkamit ng buhay
na walang hanggan?” ang agad na
tinumbok ng Panginoon sa kanyang
sagot ang Kautusan. Sabi ng
Panginoon: “Ano ang nakasulat sa
Kautusan? Ano ang nababasa mo
roon?” Kaya huwag nating maliitin ang
Kautusan dahil ito ay may malaking
papel para makamit natin ang buhay
na walang hanggan.
Ito ang sagot ng eskriba, “Ibigin mo
ang Panginoon mong Diyos nang
buong puso, nang buong kaluluwa,
nang buong lakas at nang buong pag-
iisip. at ibigin mo ang iyong kapwa
gaya ng iyong saliri.” Ang komento ng
Panginoon sa sagot ng eskriba: “Tama
ang sagot mo. Gawin mo iyan at
mabubuhay ka.”
Ngayon, ano po ba ang kahulugan ng
ibigin mo sa liwanag ng talinghaga
tungkol sa Mabuting Samaritano sa
Ebanghelyo ngayong Linggo? Ang
kahulugan ay hindi ang layuan mo o
iwasan mo kundi lapitan mo. Ganyan
ang ginawa ng Mabuting Samaritano.
Lumapit siya sa taong hinarang ng mga
tulisan. Hindi siya lumayo, hindi siya
umiwas tulad ng saserdote at Levita
bagkus lumapit siya.
Masasabi bang mga pag-ibig ka sa
Diyos o sa kapwa kung lumalayo o
umiiwas ka sa Diyos o sa kapwa? Hindi
po! O masasabi bang may pag-ibig ka
sa Diyos o sa kapwa kung lumalapit ka
sa Diyos o sa kapwa? Opo!
Kung iniibig natin ang Diyos, dapat
nating alalahanin na siya ang unang
-3-
umibig sa atin kaya dapat lamang na
ibigin natin ang Diyos. Una, dahil nilikha
niya tayo sa pamamagitan ni Kristo at
para sa kanya. Sabi sa Ikalawang
Pagbasa (Colosas 1:15-20): “Sapagkat
ang lahat ng nasa langit at nasa lupa,
nakikita man o hindi… ay pawang
nilikha ng Diyos sa pamamagitan niya
at para sa kanya. Nilikha tayo ng Diyos
dahil iniibig niya tayo.
Ikawala, iniibig tayo ng Diyos dahil
noong tayo ay nasa kasalanan,
ipinagkasundo niya tayo sa kanya sa
pamamagitan ng kanyang Anak. Sabi
sa Ikalawang Pagbasa, “inibig niyang
ang sandaigdigan ay makipagkasundo
sa kanya sa pamamagitan ng Anak.
Sa pamamagitan ng pagkamatay nito
sa krus, nagkasundo nga ang Diyos at
ang lahat ng nilikha sa langit at sa
lupa.” Kung ipinagkasundo tayo ng
Diyos sa kanya, iyan ay dahil iniibig
niya tayo.
Iniibig tayo ng Diyos hindi lamang dahil
nilikha niya tayo at ipinagkasundo sa
kanya kundi pati na rin dahil ayon sa
Unang Pagbasa (Deuteronomio 30:10-
14), ang Kautusang magdadala sa atin
sa buhay na walang hanggan ay hindi
niya inilayo bagkus inilapit niya sa atin
para madali nating sundin at unawain.
Sabi sa Unang Pagbasa: “Ito’y wala sa
langit, kaya hindi ninyo masasabing
walang aakyat doon at kukuha sa
Kautusan upang marinig ninyo at
maisakatuparan. Ni wala ito sa ibayong
dagat kaya di ninyo masasabing
walang tatawid sa dagat para kunin
ang Kautusan at nang marinig ninyo at
maisagawa. Ang Kautusan ay di
malayo sa inyo: nasa inyong bibig,
nasa inyong puso, kaya magagawa
ninyo.”
Dahil di malayo sa atin: nasa ating
bibig, nasa ating puso, ang Kautusan
ay maisagawa natin at
maisakatuparan. Kaya, mga kapatid,
lumapit tayo sa Panginoon nating Diyos
nang buong puso, nang buong
kaluluwa, nang buong lakas at nang
buong pag-iisip; ibig sabihin lumapit
tayo sa Panginoon nating Diyos ng todo
todo walang preno; todo todo at tuloy
tuloy at tunay nga nating iniibig ang
Panginoon nating Diyos.
Lumapit tayo sa ating kapwa na
nagpapakita ng habag sa kanya tulad
ng ginawa ng Mabuting Samaritano at
tunay nga nating iniibig ang ating
kapwa. Kung isinasakatuparan natin
ang Kautusan dahil tunay nating iniibig
ang Panginoong natin Diyos at ang
ating kapwa, siguradong makamit
natin ang buhay na walang hanggan.
MGA TANONG PARA SA BAHAGINAN:
1. Paano ko naipakikita na iniibig ko
ang Panginoon nating Diyos?
2. Paano ko naipakikita na iniibig ko
ang aking kapwa?
3. Nananabik ba akong makamit ang
buhay na walang hanggan?

JUNE 25, 2016 – SJBP MUSIC MINISTRY
ATTENDS ON-GOING FORMATION
Last June 25, 2016, 37 members of the
SJBP Music Ministry attended the
renewal/on-going formation seminar
for music and choir at the Lay
Formation Chapel, San Carlos
Seminary Complex as part of their
yearly formation.
The event started with the celebration
of the Holy Eucharist presided over by
Fr Kali Llamado. After the Mass Fr Kali
gave his talk w/ focus on the theme
of the Year of Mercy: “to be merciful
like the Father”. He explained further
that to be like the Father is looking to
Jesus as the face of the mercy of
God. Gospel passages about feeding
of the multitude, calling of Matthew,
grieving widow and prodigal son
among others have taught us in many
ways the reality of God’s mercy thru
Jesus Christ.
To concretely live out the jubilee of
mercy, he emphasized that it is
necessary that we do the following:
1) read, listen and meditate on the
Word of God;
2) have a pilgrimage to the Holy Door
of the five Jubilee of Mercy-
designated churches and
3) review and practice the corporal
and spiritual works of mercy.
In the same way, we can also share
the mercy of God in our Music
Ministry through:
1) spirit of cooperation not only
among the choir members
themselves but also w/ the Parish
and the Archdiocese;
2) liturgical, spiritual and musical
formation of choir, in such a way that
the proper performance of their
liturgical role will not only enhance
the beauty of the celebration and be
an excellent example for the faithful,
but will bring spiritual benefit to the
choir-members themelves; and
3) instructing/teaching the people of
new songs;
4) conversion – confession and
indulgences;
5) encounter with other faiths.
As a whole these new learnings and
experience gave everyone more
bonding moments with everybody’s
cooperation and support. Thanks to
all choir members who attended the
seminar in answer to the
Archdiocese’s call for all choir
members in all Parishes to attend the
formation. Thanks to those who
shared their food and took pictures to
capture the event. Thanks to those
-6-
who assisted and served as lectors,
commentator, collectors and choir.
Thanks also to our lay ministers led by
their coordinator, Bro Johnny Santos,
for helping us assist in the Mass. Thank
you once again to Msgr Cerbo and Fr
Herbert for their valued support to the
Music Ministry.
May this experience transform us to
be better servants of the Church and
be a living witness to God’s love and
mercy . God bless us all.

JULY 01, 2016 – CFC CA4 GENERAL
ASSEMBLY
The Couples for Christ (CFC) Central
A4 held its General Assembly on the
evening of July 1, 2016, first Friday
inside the parish church. The
assembly was led by Bro. Ronald
Ireneo M. Nabong as worship leader.
The theme for the month was “BREAK
THROUGH,” which was inspired by the
Gospel of John 10:10, “… I came so
that they might have life and have it
more abundantly.” The topic for
sharing by the members was the
answered prayers in their life.

JULY 01, 2016 – DAWN PROCESSION
SA BEC PROGRESO
Hunyo 27 pa lang ay iniisip na namin
kung paano namin malilikom ang
halaga para sa palamuting bulaklak
sa karo ng Mama Mary. Medyo
nahirapan kami pero sa tulong at
pagbabahagi ng mga BEC members,
Senior Citizens, at ilang tao ay
nalikom namin ang nasabing halaga,
at nagawa pang mapababa ang
halaga ng mga nabiling bulaklak sa
tulong nila Sis. Weng at Sis. Maying ng
Apostleship of Prayer.
Hulyo 1, 2016 sa ganap na 7:45 ng
gabi, mula sa simbahan ay dinala
namin si Mama Mary sa Barangay
Progreso. Bagaman 2 lang kaming
lalake na senior citizen pa at ang
mga kasama namin ay 7
kababaihan, ito po ay maayos
naming nailakbay sa kahabaan ng
Pinaglabanan St, N. Domingo
hanggang Eustaquio St. kung saan
ilalagak sana si Mama Mary.
-7-
Ngunit nagbago ang isip ng dati
naming kausap at dahil gabi na,
hindi kami makakita ng akmang
bahay na aming paglalagyan kay
Mama Mary. Hanggang nabuo ang
pasya naming sa isang BEC member
namin dalhin ang imahen, ngunit
dadaan ito sa isang pagsubok
pagkat dadaan ito sa ilalim ng tulay
na hindi namin nagawa noong
nakaraang taon sapagkat sasayad
ang korona ng Mama Mary sa
kisameng semento ng tulay.
Ang sabi namin ni Bro Mac Beza
bahala na si Mama Mary, siguro di
niya tayo pababayaan. At naidaan
namin sa ilalim ng tulay ang imahen
na halos sumayad ngunit di nangyari.
Nailagak namin ng maayos sa
compound ng aming BEC member
na si Sis. Elisa Salayon ang imahen at
nakapag-vigil kami ng maayos. At
kinabukasan 4 am pa lang ay gising
na kami upang magtipon tipon sa
Eustaquio St. para sa dawn
procession.
Sinundo ko sa simbahan si Msgr.
Nestor Cerbo at mga altar servers
upang muling ibalik si Mama Mary sa
kanyang lagakan sa simbahan ng St.
John the Baptist Parish Church.
Narating namin ang simbahan 6:00
ng umaga, para sa kaukulang misa.
Bagamat maraming pagsubok at
mga balakid, sa aming palagay at
nadama, kami’y tinulungan ni Mama
Mary na ang lahat ay
mapagtagumpayan.
Pinasasalamatan po namin ang lahat
ng sumama sa dawn procession mga
kasamahan na galing sa iba’t ibang
BEC.

JULY 02, 2016 – FIRST SATURDAY
DEVOTION TO THE BLESSED MOTHER
AND MASS FOR THE SICK
The monthly First Saturday Penitential
Dawn Procession in honor of our
Blessed Mother in reparation for the
sins of mankind was held last July 2,
2016. It started at 5 in the morning at
Brgy. Progreso with the cooperation
of the Brgy Kagawads and its BSL
Hermes Cachola.
Msgr. Nestor Cerbo led the
procession from Brgy Progreso to the
parish church with the altar servers
carrying the ceriales. The rosary
praying was led by the members of
the Family Rosary Crusade and the
Marian songs were led by the Music
-8-
Ministry head, Lanie Benzon. There
were quite a number of BEC members
from the different barangays who
attended.
It was so touching to note that the
vendors and people around the area
where the procession passed by were
making the Sign of the Cross as they
saw the image of Mama Mary
approaching.
The procession reached the parish
church in time for the 6am mass
which was culminated by the
anointing of the sick administered by
Msgr. Nestor Cerbo and Fr. Herbert JB
Camacho.
By: Sis. Mila Enriquez, FRC
JULY 02, 2016 – ANOINTING OF THE
SICK
The Anointing of the Sick was
administered to those who lined up
for it after the 6:00 A.M. Mass on July
2, 2016, at St. John the Baptist Parish
(SJBP) Church, Pinaglabanan St., San
Juan City. It is part of the SJBP
Schedule to have Anointing of the
Sick every First Saturday of the Month,
after the 6:00 P.M. Mass.
Msgr. Nestor Cerbo who celebrated
the 6:00 A.M. Mass was joined after
the Mass by Fr. Herbert Camacho in
administering the Anointing of the
Sick.
JULY 02, 2016 – MLC NEWBIES
TRAINING
Lectors are an open book, the
moment they start to read, the
amount of preparation, knowledge
and love for the scriptures are on
display, which is why it is important
that lectors are given the right
technical training and spiritual
guidance to be effective in the
Ministry.
Under the MLC Training and
Screening committee which is
currently headed by: Bro. Noel
Evangelista, Sis. Tricci Alonzo, and Sis.
-9-
Imah Maneja, 1 new applicant and
10 apprentices underwent a Training
Session last July 2, first Saturday inside
the Church.
As each one read from the Tagalog
and English Mass Readings, the
committee made individual
assessments of their reading skills,
pronunciation and quality of voice.
The Committee heads also gave a
short talk on what it means to be a
lector. Tips on how to physically,
mentally and more importantly,
spiritually prepare one to be a
Proclaimer as against a reader were
also discussed. The Word of God must
be proclaimed to the congregation to
touch their hearts and make it easy
for the listeners to relate.

JULY 02, 2016 – CYMPLE BATCH 5
GRADUATION & COMMISSIONING RITE
Mabuhay ang Kabataang Katoliko!
Noong July 2, 2016, Sabado sa ganap
na alas-singko ng hapon ay
naganap ang Graduation at
Commissiong Rites ng CYMPLE Batch
5. Ang CYMPLE o Certificate on Youth
Ministry, Pastoral Leadership and
Empowerment ay proyekto ng
University of Santo Tomas at RCAM
Archdiocesan Commission on Youth,
kung saan ang mga kabataan ay
papasok ng pitong Sabado para sa
workshop sessions.
Masasabi kong ako ay mapalad
dahil ako ay napili para makalahok
sa proyektong ito, kasama ang aking
kapwa youth na si Paulo Perez.
Masaya at madami kaming
natutunan sa pag-aaral namin sa
CYMPLE. Hindi ito ganoon kadali na
parang dadalo ka lang sa isang
seminar. Sa CYMPLE bago ka maka-
graduate, madami kang
pagdadaanan gaya ng mga quizzes,
reflection papers, mission experience
at madugong oral exam. Isa sa mga
natutunan ko ay ang kung paano
maging isang Effective Youth Leader.
Noong Sabado ay naganap ang
aming baccalaureate at graduation
-10-
rites. Pinangunahan ni Bishop
Broderick Pabillo ang aming
Graduation Mass na kung saan kami
ay pinaalalahan na ang mga
kabataan ay tinawag ni Kristo upang
maging Missionary Disciples.
Pagkatapos ng komunyon ay
naganap ang aming Commissiong
Rites na pinangunahan din ni Bishop
Pabillo. Ang aming graduation ay
ginanap sa isa sa mga auditoriums
ng UST. Dumalo din si Fr. Jade
Licuanan, Commissiomer ng ACY, at
sinabihan kami na gamitin ang
regalo ng ating Mahal na Panginoon
sa paglilingkod sa kanya at sa
pagpapahayag ng Mabuting Balita.
24 na kabataan kaming tumanggap
ng diploma at masugid na nag-aral
upang matutunan kung paano
maging isang mabuting kabataan.
Ang mga diploma na hawak namin
ay hindi nangangahulugan na tapos
na ang aming mga gawain, kundi ito
pa lang simula ng aming mission sa
aming parokya at sa aming buhay
upang maging mabubuting
Kabataan.

JULY 02, 2016 – BEC BATIS STREET MASS
Nagdiwang ang BEC Batis ng Banal
na Misa noong unang Sabado ng
buwan, ika 3 ng Hulyo sa ganap na
alas 6 ng gabi. Muntik nang hindi
matuloy ang "street mass" dahil sa
malakas na ulan noong hapon ng
araw na iyon. Ngunit sa panalangin
at pananalig ng mga mamamayan
ng Brgy. Batis na kalahok sa BEC,
tumigil din ang ulan at naihanda ang
altar sa maliit na kapilya ng "Our
Lady of Manaoag" sa Gen. Bautista.
Mahigit kumulang na 50 katao ang
dumalo, at ang ating Kura Paroko
Msgr. Nestor Cerbo ang namuno sa
pagdiriwang. Si Sis. Joyce Lanot
naman ang gumanap na Lector. Si
Bro. Mar Evangelista ang
commentator. Nabigyan ng galak
ang pagdiriwang dahil sa choir na
pimamunuan ni Bro. Boy Turingan.
Naging makahulugan lalo na noong
pinakinggan ng mga taga Batis ang
Mabuting Balita sa pagbati ng ating
Panginoon Hesus na "Maghari nawa
ang kapayapaan at tanggapin ang
kapayapaan na ibinigay ng
Panginoon." Tunay na pinagpala ang
-11-
mga mamamayan ng Batis nang sila
ay sinugo na magbigay ang
kapayapaan ng Panginoon sa
kanilang mga kapwa.

Cancer. Despite her difficulty in
moving, she managed to join with the
help of her family.
Fr. Herbert made an appeal to
everyone who wish to join in the

MASS AT LITTLE BAGUIO TERRACES
The Anticipated Sunday Mass at Little
Baguio Terraces was held last July 2,
2016 at the Mezzanine Parking Area.
It was celebrated by our Parish Priest,
Msgr. Nestor C. Cerbo.
The mass started at 7 P.M. with an
Entrance Hymn leaded by the Choir
of Little Baguio Terraces. In his homily,
Msgr. Nestor told the congregation
that as followers of Christ, we are
expected to bring others not trouble
and sorrow but peace and joy.
We can do this by helping spread
prosperity and wealth to everyone
-12-
like the Lord in the First Reading; by
remaining as new creation cleansed
from sin by the cross of Christ and
hence striving not to commit sin
against our brothers and sisters
according to the Second Reading;
and by bringing God and not Satan
into the life of our brothers and sisters.
We do the three and we will surely
bring peace and joy to our brothers
and sisters.
After the mass the parishioners at
Little Baguio Terraces greeted one
another a Happy Evening. The next
Anticipated Sunday mass is on July 9,
2016 at 7 P.M.

JULY 03, 2016 – MEETING OF THE
APOSTLESHIP OF PRAYER
The Apostleship of Prayer (AP) is a
community of praying disciples who
follow the way of the Heart, who offer
their daily lives for the Church through
the Holy Father’s monthly intentions
and who make themselves available
for any mission. The AP’s mission is to
know, love, adore, serve and
proclaim Jesus in His Sacred Heart
and the Holy Eucharist.
The regular meeting of the
Apostleship of Prayer (AP) is held
every first Sunday of the month. The
July 3, 2016 meeting was presided by
our newly elected President, Sis.
-14-
Weng Serrano. She started the
meeting with the usual AP opening
prayer, and a Daily Offering for the
following intentions of the Holy Father
for the month of July 2016:
UNIVERSAL INTENTION: INDIGENOUS
PEOPLES. That indigenous peoples,
whose identity and very existence
are threatened, will be shown due
respect.
EVANGELIZATION INTENTION: LATIN
AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN. That
the Church in Latin America and the
Caribbean, by means of her mission
to the continent, may announce the
Gospel with renewed vigor and
enthusiasm.
After reading the commentaries of
Pope Francis on the above intentions,
some AP sisters gave their personal
sharing on the Scripture Reading
taken from Leviticus (19:33-
34)…”When a stranger sojourns with
you in your land, you shall not do him
wrong. You shall treat the stranger

MARY
The 20 Big Rosaries for Mama Mary,
popularly known as the 2000 Hail
Mary, is held every first Monday of the
month after the 7 A.M. mass. This
month’s 40 Rosaries was held last July
4 at the St. Joseph Chapel. Once
again, devotees of Mama Mary
grouped together to pray for the
usual 20 intentions through the
intercession of the Mother of Jesus
Christ.
While praying, devotees took turns in
eating their breakfast, morning
snacks, lunch and afternoon snacks.
Thanks to the generosity of the
birthday celebrants of the month,
including Sisters Cita Mendoza and
Lilia Tanada.
At exactly 3 P.M, while praying the
rosary for the 18th petition (for all
families and our own families), Sister
Nina Ortencio saw the image of Jesus
Christ at the back of the head of Sis
Lou Caudal. Wanting to confirm what
she saw, she asked her prayer
partner, Altar Server Vryan Palmon, to
concentrate on the head of Sister Lou.
He finally saw the image, and
sketched a photo of Jesus Christ,
which he gave to Sis Lou at the end of
the 20 Big Rosaries.

Taun-taon bilang panimula ng
pagtuturo ng Katekesis sa mga
pambublikong paaralan ay
ginaganap namin ang Holy Spirit
Mass, hinihiling namin sa ikatlong
persona ng Diyos na patnubayan di
lamang ang mga guro bagkus lalo
na ang mga batang mag aaral.
Noong Hulyo 5 ay dinaos namin ang
Holy Spirit Mass sa Salapan
Elementary School at noong Hulyo 7
naman sa San Perfecto Elementary
School na parehong pinamunuan ni
Rev. Fr. Herbert Camacho, ang ating
Parochial Vicar. Sa kanyang homiliya
ay maliwanag na sinabi ni Fr. Herbert
ang kahalagahan ng presensya ng
Banal na Espiritu sa mga mag aaral
at sa mga guro.
Isa isang pinaliwanag ni Fr. Herbert
ang mga kaloob ng Espiritu Santo sa
mga bata. Ang Banal na Espiritu ay
ang ating gabay at lakas upang
patuloy nating piliin ang mabuti,
gumawa ng mabuti sa ating kapwa
at sa sarili.
Tinutulungan din tayo ng Banal na
Espiritu na sumunod sa utos ni Hesus
na mahalin ang Diyos at mahalin ang
kapwa gaya ng sarili ay binigyang
diin din ni Fr. Herbert sa kanyang
homiliya. Tunay ngang ang bawat isa
ay napuspos ng Banal na Espiritu sa
mga misang naganap sa paaralan,
samo’t dalangin namin na ang
school year 2016-2017 ay mas
-18-
maging mabunga at makabuluhan
para sa bawat isang mag aaral at
magtuturo ng Katekesis.

JULY 05, 2016 – PARISH FIESTA
COMMITTEE EVALUATION MEETING
A leadership speaker once quoted,
“Be humble to see your mistakes,
courageous to admit them, and wise
enough to correct them.” This is the
reason why the Parish Fiesta
Committee decided to meet again
last July 5, 2016 at the conference
room of the Parish Office, to have an
evaluation of each of the activities
we had during our recently
concluded Parish Fiesta.
Much as everything turned out well in
general, there is always room for
improvement on certain aspects and
all these were noted to ensure that
we could deliver better next fiesta
celebration.
Msgr. Nestor also took the opportunity
to congratulate the group for a job
well done thanked them for their hard
work and dedication.
As of July 5, 2016 update of Sis. Cita
Mendoza, head of Finance
Committee, the net total of our raised
funds for the carrilon bells (or chime
bells) amounted to P1.5M. Although
the amount is considerably higher
than is expected considering the time
constraint we had in raising it, it is still
far-off from the amount needed to
purchase our dream carrillon bells
amounting to P2.5M. But the Lord is
gracious indeed because the day
after, he sent an anonymous person
who lent us the short-handed amount
in order that we could proceed
purchasing the carrillon bells. In
God’s will, we will have our carrillon
bells installed by December this year.
JULY 6, 2016 – BEC CORE GROUP
MEETING & ANNIVERSARY TREAT FOR
MSGR. NESTOR’S 1ST YEAR IN SJBP Ang unang BEC Core Group Meeting
para sa buwan ng Hulyo ay ginanap
noong Huly 6, 2016 sa Parish
Celebration Hall. Ang BEC Corazon
de Jesus sa pangunguna ng kanilang
BSL, Sis. Flor Casupanan ang nanguna
sa opening prayer at pag-awit ng
joyful songs. Ang ating kura, Msgr.
Nestor Cerbo naman ang nagbigay
ng pagninilay para sa ika-15 Linggo
sa Karaniwang Panahon, na may
-19-
temang “ANO ANG DAPAT NATING
GAWIN UPANG MAGKAMIT NG
BUHAY NA WALANG HANGGAN?”
Matapos ang pagninilay, nagsalu-
salo ang lahat sa isang simpleng
hapunan na inihanda ng grupo para
kay Msgr. Nestor upang ipagdiwang
ang kanyang unang taong
anibersaryo ng pagdating sa SJBP.
Habang masayang naghahapunan,
tinalakay na rin ang iba pang
business matters, gaya ng mga
sumusunod:
1) Mga delegado para sa PCNE sa
darating na Hulyo15-17, 2016 2) Paghahanda para sa Vicariate
Celebration ng 12th Anniversary ng
Pondo ng Pinoy sa darating na Hulyo
23, 2016 3) Pagbisita ng mga taga-Mission
Soceity of the Philippines sa huling
Linggo ng Hulyo
Bago magtapos ang gabi,
pinaalalahanan ni Msgr. Nestor ang
lahat na isabuhay ang “fraternal
correction,” na itinuturo sa atin ng
Panginoon. Ang ibig sabihin nito,
kung may kamalian kang nakikita sa
iyong kapwa, marapat na sabihin mo
ito sa kanya ng personal, sa halip na
itago ito sa iyong sarili o ipagsabi ito
sa iba. Isa itong tanda ng pagiging
mabuting Kristiano at nagpapakita rin
ng ating pagmamahal sa ating
kapwa.

SIMULA NG 3 TAON TUNGO SA
IKA-125 HUBILEYO NG SJBP
SA TAONG 2019
Noong 1994, makulay at
masigla nating ipinagdiwang ang
Sentenaryo o ika-100 Taong
Anibersaryo ng ating pagkakatatag
bilang parokya. Isa sa mahahalagang
alaala ng selebrasyong iyon ay ang
pagkakaroon natin ng Centennial
Belfry.
Tatlong taon mula ngayon,
isang mahalagang kabanata na
naman sa ating pagiging simbahan
ang ating ipagdiriwang - ang ating ika-
125 Hubileyo! Sinimulan na natin ang
paghahanda noong nakaraang Pista ni
San Juan Bautista, kung saan tayo ay
konkretong “Nagpadama ng Awa” sa
ating kapwa. Patuloy pa ring hinihimok
ang bawat isa na pag-ibayuhin ang
pagpapadama ng awa na ito sa araw-
araw nating pamumuhay.
Gayundin, sa ating
pagtutulung-tulong, naipon na po natin
ang malaking bahagi ng halaga na
ating kakailanganin para mabili at
maikabit ang ating pinapangarap na
carillon bells (o chime bells). Dagdag
pa rito, isang lingkod ng ating parokya
ang bukas-palad na nagpahiram ng
karagdagang halaga upang tuluyan na
nga po nating mabili ang nasabing
carillon bells at nawa’y maikabit na ito
bago dumating ang kapaskuhan.
Bilang patuloy na paghahanda
sa ating ika-125 Hubileyo,
inaanyayahan po ang lahat para isang
Misa ng Pasasalamat sa darating na
Hulyo 15, 2016 para ipagdiwang ang
ika-122 Taong Anibersaryo ng ating
Pagiging Parokya. Ito po ay sa ganap
na ika-6:00 ng gabi. Inaasahan po
namin ang inyong pagdalo at pakikiisa
sa mahalagang pagdiriwang na ito.
