LIVING WATER, CLEAN SHORES: A MISSION OF CARE

WALKING TOGETHER IN FAITH: PAROKIA SAN TELMO BECs JOURNEYING IN SYNODALITY Sept 13, 2026 | Parish BEC Exchange Parokia San Telmo brought together BECs across barangays for a meaningful exchange—sharing community life, programs, and concerns. Key topics included Household & Family Profiling, October’s Block Rosary, and pastoral matters. Fr. Augustus Calubaquib stressed family & leader profiles as vital tools for knowing and accompanying our people. Ms. Lorela Candido presented Sep–Nov parish activities. We also joyfully celebrated Fr. Christian Dave Remudaro’s early birthday! Gratitude to Brgy. Maura for facilitation & Brgy. Tallungan for the meals. Together, we live synodality—walking, listening, and serving as one Church.

ECO-ROSARY: WALKING WITH MARY, CARING FOR CREATION On the evening of September 12, 2026, parishioners of Parokia San Telmo gathered in prayer for an Eco-Rosary as part of the parish’s celebration of the Season of Creation. The prayer-walk began at the parish grounds and proceeded to the shoreline of Brgy. Punta, with participants praying the Rosary as they walked. The Parish Youth Ministry initiated the activity, joined by Rev. Fr. Christian Dave Remudaro and parishioners. The image of the Blessed Virgin Mary was carried throughout the procession, symbolizing Mary’s guidance as we care for God’s creation. Mary, who lovingly welcomed Christ into the world, teaches us to receive creation with gratitude and to protect our common home. Through the Eco-Rosary, every prayer and every step became a commitment to care for our seas, shores, and all of God’s creation. Special thanks to MEDCOM ONE for assisting with traffic and ensuring the safe passage of the procession. Mary, Mother of Creation, pray for us and guide us in caring for our common home.

CALLED, GATHERED, AND SENT: YOUTH EVANGELIZATION 2026 The recently concluded Youth Evangelization 2026 brought together young people from different barangays in a meaningful journey of faith, fellowship, and encounter. Guided by the theme “Beloved, Gifted, and Empowered in Mission,” each gathering became an opportunity for the youth to connect, reflect, and recognize the gifts God has entrusted to them. ‎ ‎More than simply an activity, Youth Evangelization aims to bring the Gospel closer to young people, strengthen their relationship with Christ, and encourage them to become active witnesses of faith in their own communities. Through these gatherings, the youth are given a space to listen, share, build friendships, and discover how they can take part in the mission of the Church. ‎ ‎At the same time, this initiative helps establish and strengthen Barangay Youth Ministries by gathering young people within their communities and creating a foundation for continued fellowship, formation, and service. It reminds us that evangelization does not end after one gathering—it continues through a youth community that walks together, serves together, and grows together in faith. ‎ ‎More than an event, Youth Evangelization reminded us that every young person has a purpose in God’s plan. We are beloved, gifted, and empowered to share God’s love and become instruments of His mission wherever we are. ‎ ‎ ‎“Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” ‎— 1 Timothy 4:12 ‎ ‎ ‎May this experience inspire every young person to confidently answer God’s call, strengthen the youth ministry in their own barangays, and live out their mission wherever they are sent. ‎ ‎Chosen. Called. Empowered. Sent. 🙏✨ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
