This Sunday has been a day of many blessings. Fr. Rene P. Mayugba came over from the College Seminary to help in the Parish. He celebrated the First Mass at 6am; while I celebrated the Second and Third Masses. Fr. Jim, our newly ordained priest, who is still with us, although he is assigned as a parochial vicar to the Parish Priest of Holy Family Parish, Sta. Barbara, has been helping me in the Parish. He solemnized the 10am wedding, then celebrated the sacrament of baptism. His constant availability in the parish has been a source of joy for all of us. One reason why this has been a day of thanksgiving!
Fr. Jim offered a Thanksgiving Mass in the Parish during the 4,30PM mass. It was truly a joyful celebration with the Parish Youth Ministry providing the choir and liturgical dances during the various parts of the mass. He blessed the whole congregation after the mass; the kissing of his hand followed.
Today has been a day of celebrations! A day of thanksgiving -- to God and His bountiful mercy!
