Honoring Wisdom & Grace: Celebrating Sunday of the Elderly
​A blessed 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time and Sunday of the Elderly to our entire parish community! Following the Holy Mass, our celebration became even more meaningful as Rev. Fr. Carlos A. Bangay, parish priest, led a special prayer and imparted a solemn blessing of Holy Water upon our beloved senior citizens. Their lives remain a living testament to God's grace, wisdom, and enduring love within our faith community.   ​To all our grandfathers and grandmothers, thank you for your unconditional love, continuous prayers, and the invaluable heritage of faith you pass down to every generation. May the Lord grant you good health, strength, and hearts filled with peace and joy today and alway. Amen.
