St. Anthony the Abbot or Anthony of Egypt was an Egyptian monk, the founder of monastic seclusion in the Catholic tradition. Patron of those who have skin deseases. Today is he feast of St. Anthony, the abbot, the patron saint of one of my barrangay called Brgy. Bitin. Four years ago, the celebration of the feast of the said barrangay was moved from February 14 to January 17. The bishop have even published a rescript on the matter last three years ago. But, until now the people celebrates the feast on February 14. During my homily on the said feast, this is one of the endeavor that we have to face and accept as one of the difficult decision but a clear manifestation that we are following the mandate of the Church that Christ has founded. I have tasked the leaders of the community there to built an altar on the left side of the chapel in honor of the patron.

The Church leadership of Brgy. Bitin, Bay, Laguna, requested me to celebrate the sacrament of baptism in their barrio. However, they have to be catechized that baptism in barrangay is only permitted during the celebration of their Fiesta. Their fiesta was move from February 14 to January 17 because it is the feast day of St. Anthony Abad. It was been declared by the former parish priest but has not been effective in persuazing the faithful. The picture speak for itself. So, I told them that I am new in this parish, I will permit them that their children be baptized on that date here in the Parish Church. The Church teaches that the child be baptized as soon as possible, this is the day that these people think that they are avaiulable and prepare, it might not sound on strong foundation of the Christian faith, however, for me it is an occasion of which they could fulfilll the teaching of the Church.
