Parish Bulletin

“Lord, may we serve with patience and humility.”

in november 2015, Dee Chan informed Eleonore Gutierrez and Letty Lopez that they’re the newly elected chairpersons of the LeCom Ministry to serve for two years, 2016 & 2017. “We’d rather follow than lead,” both replied. However, the die was cast when Father Reu responded, “Things will sort themselves out, in time.” Eleonore, under Dee’s wings, hit the ground running (Letty was unavailable until Dec. 2015).

On november 10, 2015 the new officers of the Parish Pastoral Council were installed (LeComs Edmund Lim, Tina Teehankee, Suzette Gatmaitan and Girlie Sison as head of Worship Committee) followed by the Feast of Christ the King on Nov. 22nd, with prayers and procession organized by

Zari Poe. On Nov. 28th, a half-day recollection on the Year of Mercy was held followed by an early Christmas Party. The schedule for the Misa de Gallo was finalized followed by the traditional masses for Christmas and New Year.

January 12, 2016 ushered the 1st General Meeting of LeComs where the Budget was approved (P51,500) with topics discussed like the LeCom organizational structure, services to villages and condos, substitutes, proper attire and the Buling-Buling with a Dekada Theme. Rehearsals for Buling-Buling went underway in mid January. Cynthia Menchaca, Jeannie Bitanga, Micki Poe, Jaja Ledesma, Karen Blanco, Isa Gutierrez, Estee Cerilla, with Father Reu and Jayme Blanco danced to rock and roll and twist music.

February 9th was Buling-Buling highlighted by dinner and a musical variety show and capped by the

burning of palms.

February 10th Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the Season of Lent.

March 12th - 24 LeComs attended the Ongoing Formation seminar conducted by the Archdiocese of Manila.

Seder Meal on March 14th, a Jewish tradition celebrated by the Parish with dinner, prayer readings and songs. The family of Jun Rodriguez led the celebration.

Palm Sunday March 20th with Dee, Edmund

and the Coro led by Mrs. Amelita Guevarra with the dramatization of the Passion of Christ.

Holy Thursday March 24th had the vigil at the Garden of Repose with LeComs holding a one-hour meditation with video slides prepared by Caron Macasaet and Javier. The adoration altar was adorned with flowers by Wilma Huang’s group. Also, Father Jesus Galindo and Father Serge Santos celebrated their 50th year as Franciscan friars.

Good Friday March 25th featured the 7 Last Words as shared by members of different ministries during the mass followed by a Santo Entierro procession around the village. Jun Rodriguez and EMHC Ministry designed a diagram to ensure the smooth flow of devotees during the veneration of the cross.

Easter Vigil March 26th High Mass in the main altar with Commentator Melon Recto and Edmund Lim, Jun Rodriguez, Anton Conejos and Ricky Sison as Proclaimers of the Word. Aside from the traditional church music, the Coro added two songs during Communion Be not Afraid by Taylor Davis and Hesus ng Aking Buhay.

Three adolescents from South Africa were baptized, confirmed and for the first time, received the Holy Eucharist.The image of the Risen Christ was set up on a rock garden by Wilma Huang. The Salubong followed right after the Easter Vigil.

Parish Bulletin

Our Music Ministry is tasked with providing music for our Sunday and weekday masses and for major feasts such as last year’s Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception to the recently concluded Fiesta 2016. To make masses more meaningful, we strive to choose liturgically-relevant songs that fit the season (e.g. Lent, Easter), and we have started a music catalog and digital archive to facilitate this endeavor, which we plan to eventually expand to selecting songs for weddings and other church-based events.

As of today (and as way of re-introducing ourselves to the Parish family), here are the current song leaders, accompanists, and choir representatives from A to Z: Babing Abella (1st Sunday, 12pm); April Agregado, Four B’Sparks (3rd Sunday, North Forbes); Mary-Ann Baclao (1st and 5th Saturdays, 4:30pm; 2nd Sunday, North Forbes); Lita Banson (3rd Sunday, 9am; Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 7:45am); Cielo Buan (Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 7:45am); the CCD choir (3rd Sunday, 10:30am); Cathy Cantada-Dizon, Dasma Youth Choir (Saturdays, 6pm, DVA); Maribel Cantada (2nd Sunday, North Forbes; 5th Sunday, 4:30pm); Meldy Capulong (Sundays, 7:4am; various weekday masses); Lulu and Xandro Castañeda (1st and 5th Saturdays, 4:30pm); Liza Chan-Parpan and Mike Chan (4th and 5th Sundays, North Forbes); Christian Del Los Reyes; Lester Delgado, Tig-Awit (Sundays, 6:30am) and Vocalismo Choral Group (2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays, 9am); Jerry Fullido (various masses), Urdaneta (Sundays, 7pm) and Pacific Plaza (Saturdays, 5pm); Antonio Go, Psalm 47 Male Chorale (1st, 3rd and 5th Sundays, 10:30am); Kian Gonzaga, Eastern Chamber Singers (3rd Saturdays, 4:30pm) and Koro Ilustrado (2nd and 4th Saturdays, 4:30pm); Amelita Guevara, Coro de San Antonio (Sundays, 6pm); Pin Guingona, Inday Mallari and kids (1st Sunday, North Forbes); Sam Gutierrez, Coro Ecclesiastico (3rd Sunday, 12pm); Andy Huang, VOSA (Saturdays, 6pm);

Andro Lesaca (4th Sunday, 10:30am; 5th Sunday, 12pm); Edmund Lim (1st Friday, 6pm); Minguita Lopez (Sundays, 7:45am); Jet Pampolina (2nd Sunday, 4:30pm); Marie Puyat (2nd and 4th Sundays, 12pm); Robbie Santos (3rd Sunday, 4:30pm); Benny Soliven (4th Sunday, 4:30pm); Erick Sta. Maria (2nd and 4th Sundays, 4:30pm); Uwa Tambunting (3rd Sunday, 9am); the Youth Choir (Antioch and Luke 18; Thursdays, 6pm); and Milette Zamora (1st Sunday, 10:30am; 2nd Sunday, 9am).

We are truly blessed to have such a large collection of motivated individuals and groups sharing their talent with us, and of all the ministries here, the Music Ministry would most likely be the largest if one were to consider every single member, including those from the choirs. However, as not all our weekday masses are covered, we are always open to anyone interested in wholeheartedly volunteering their time and service to the Parish. Please contact the Parish office for any inquires. We look forward to hearing from you. Music Ministry

“Pope Francis reminds us that praying the Rosary prepares our hearts to receive God’s grace and teaches us to place ourselves in the hands of God, allowing him to guide our steps along the path of our faith journey. Praying the Rosary allows us to make room for God, to glorify his name, and to make him truly present in our lives.”

The power of praying the rosary has proven to protect, to heal and to grant requests. Here are some inspiring stories, which we may be able to relate to in one way or another.

A member of the Single Young Adults (SYA) community was starting to lose hope in finding a partner in life. When she went to confession, the priest told her to pray the rosary twice a day and she will find her husband within three months. She then started patiently praying the rosary even as the three months has passed and with God’s grace, she found him in five months. They are now happily married and continue to pray together.

On January 15, 1978, Bundy entered the Chi Omega sorority house at Florida State University and murdered two girls before heading off to search for more victims. When he entered a third girl’s room with a bat for a weapon, he saw a rosary clutched in her hand, dropped the bat and fled. Later the girl told authorities that before she left for college

The Power of the rosary by Marie Tycangco

she had promised her grandmother that she would pray the rosary every night for protection, even if she fell asleep in the process. This is what she had done that night, and she was still holding the rosary when the murderer entered her room. Bundy later confessed to over thirty murders. Bundy explained that when he entered the girl’s room, he had fully intended on murdering her; some mysterious power was preventing him.

In October, 1938, Fr. Patrick Peyton started coughing blood and doctors discovered he had advanced stages of Tuberculosis, which was incurable in those days. His sister Nellie encouraged him to ask our Holy Mother for help. Patrick consecrated himself completely to Mary and devoted himself to praying the rosary. The doctors discovered that the patches on his lungs had disappeared with no scientific explanation. With this miraculous cure through the rosary of our Holy Mother, Father Peyton vowed to Mary that he would promote the rosary all his life.

The SSAP Worship and Devotions committee would like to invite everyone to join the community in praying the rosary before the 6:00am, 7:30am and 6:00pm Mass from Monday-Friday and before the 12:15pm Mass from Monday to Saturday, as well as join in the other activities.
