priest

MakBan Geothermal plant in Bitin, Bay, Laguna invited me to say Mass this morning. Many were late because of the accidents in Calamba. Though it is part of Bay, the priest from Sto. Tomas Batanggas was formely the one saying Mass there. It was called MakBan because its operation ranges from the mountains of Makiling and Banahaw.

We decided to clear up this mess to make more room. John and Jose are helping me out.

Ben and Darling Sanchez of Los Banos decided to renew their vows in their 5oth anniversary as husband and wife with their children and grandchildren in one of the place here in my parish. I celebrated Mass with them. They remember me as the one who officiated the blessing of their resort in Pansol while I was a parish priest their. It is a glaring example of faithfulness and love which the present generation should not forget.

Members of community in Jubileville, Masaya, Bay, Laguna. There are two chapel that they are using during their sunday masses, the chapel within the village of jubileville and this one in asiaville own by the sisters. Since it was my first mass there with the congregation, I introduce myself and asked them to help the parish especially for the putting up of the Knights of Columbus. I aslo asked them to help the proposed erection of the new parish which will be located in Masaya. It was been 10 years of its conception that until now has not been realized. There is already a land but the edifice is nowhere to find... it is not yet constructed.

After the mass, it is like a reunion, yes, it is a reunion of former parist priests and parishioners. In the picture are the former parish priests, Fr. Emil, Fr. Romy and me. Bros.
