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.

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.

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.

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

who sojourns with you as the native

among you, and you shall love him

as yourself.”

Copies of the minutes of the previous

meeting were distributed. As business

JULY 04, 2016 – 20 BIG ROSARIES FOR

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

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.
