Contact Tracing Application

Image
Kalulunsad lang kanina ang Stay Safe dot Ph bilang official na contact tracing dito sa pilipinas upang makatulong sa paghahanap ng mga kakontact ng mga naging positive sa Covid 19 virus. Eto ay para din sa mga establisementong pinupuntahan ng mga tao. Hindi po ito sapilitan pero malaki ang maitutulong nito para sa mga parokyano kaya nag apply din ako para sa Parokyang Simbahan ng Nuestra Senora dela Natividad ng Pangil, Laguna, Philippines. Ngunit hinihikayat ng gobyerno na gamitin ito para makatulong sa kinaukulan at para na rin sa paperless contact. Kinakailangan nga lamang ng smartphone para ito maisakatupan sa pasimula kasi digital na ang pamamaraan ng pagkuha ng impormasyon. Pinoprotektahan din naman ng batas ang maingat na pagiingat ng impormasyon na maaring makukuha dito. Tama din naman ang pagaalinlangan ng iba na maaring magamit ang impormasyon ng masamang elemento. Pero ganun din naman ang kahihinatnan ng contact tracing sa pamamagitan ng tradisyonal na pamamaraan. pinapad...

Kumpisalang Bayan

Image
Somebody is asking to add description to this event, this event was posted in my account in Facebook. I could not tract the one asking it, just flash in my screen as a part of the notification. I though before that there is no need to do so because it is already a part of the Lenten preparation. However, we should also go to the basic reminding ourselves that there are those who are not well verse to our natural flow of Christian devotion during the 40 days of preparation for the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Chris . Kumpisalang Bayan is what we commonly named the event where Confession is held in the parish through the help of the neighboring priests of the nearby parishes of religious institutions. this is to help the parish cope with the massive attendance of those who would like to receive the sacrament of reconciliation that we usually announced during the Lenten and Advent liturgical time.. This is not to substitute the regular time for parish confession schedules. We...

Communion of Communities: Ecclesiological Perspective

Communion of Communities: Ecclesiological Perspective Fr. Amado L. Picardal, CSsR, STD “2017- Parish as Communion of Communities: In this year we will discern the quality of faith life in the parish, the fellowship, belongingness, and participation experienced by its members. Efforts will be focused on making the parish a communion of communities, a communion of Basic Ecclesial Communities and of covenanted faith-communities and ecclesial movements. All these various communities should be thus integrated into the life and mission of the parish so that the parish will be truly be a faith community immersed in the lives of its people.” Etymology of Communion – Koinonia Communion is a translation of the original Greek koinonia which has several connotations: Union, unity Fellowship Community Friendship Sharing Participation Partnership Koinonia in Sacred Scripture In the New Testament, there are several texts that refe...

Basic Ecclesial Communities:Agents of Communion, Participation and Mission Fr. Amado L. Picardal, CSsR, STD The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines has declared 2017 as the Year of the Parish as Communion of Communities. The CBCP pastoral exhortation “On Era of New Evangelization” describes the focus of this year: “This is a year when we more deeply discern not only the structures of governance of our dioceses and parishes but also of the quality of faith life in the parish, the      fellowship, belongingness, and participation by its members. In a special way we shall probe into our efforts of making the parish a communion of communities,      a communion of Basic Ecclesial Communities and of covenanted faith-communities and ecclesial movements. We shall discern and implement measures on how      communities of consecrated life may be more integrated into the life and mission of the parish. In brief, our focus ...

Explanation of the logo of the Year of the Parish

Image
Explanation of the logo The circles of people whose hands are intertwined symbolize the communion within the BECs. These communities are linked together by the outline of the cross which signifies the parish as communion of communities. It also includes other faith communities and organizations that are in the parish that – although trans-parochial in nature- are called to actively take part in the life of the parish and BECs. The outline of the cross also symbolizes the vertical and horizontal dimension of communion – communion with the Triune God and with each other. The bread and chalice at the center symbolize the Eucharist which is the sacrament and celebration of this communion. The bible which is also at the center symbolizes the Word of God that is shared and proclaimed which is the source of faith and basis of communion and which nourishes and build up communion. The sun rays symbolize the light of Christ that shines in the life of the members of parish and these com...

Parishes as wellsprings of mercy and renewal

Image
Pastoral Exhortation of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines to open the Year 2017 as the Year of Parishes, Communion of Communities BELOVED people of God: We welcome the year 2017 in our “novena-years” of preparation for the grateful celebration in 2021 of the five hundredth anniversary of the first coming and first receiving among our people of the Gospel of Christ Jesus and of His holy Church. That forthcoming 2021 celebration, recalling the first Mass and first baptisms in our shores, should be a new and joyous explosion in our lives of faith, hope and love throughout our country. Surely such will be our response to the free and gracious gift from the heavenly Father which made the year 1521, for us Christians first of all, a memorable and incredibly significant “new beginning” in our history. As we began this “novena” we raised a banner of hope and renewal for the Church in our land with the motto, “Live Christ, Share Christ!” That is the firm res...
