For a handful of
homilies already in the Aguinaldo masses
starting December 16 , our parish priest Fr. Joelan Landerio has
been using these words to encourage parishioners to participate in the
Christmas activities of the Ascension of Our Lord Parish in Paranaque City, many of which are for
helping the developing and depressed
areas in the community.
Share and Care. Two powerful positive words. And they moved me and many more.
That is why,
last December 22, I joined a couple
dozen volunteers at the gift-giving
activity of the parish for poor families
at the village gym inside Goodwill 2 Subdivision. These volunteers were led by
the Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) President (Faye Manuel) and Vice President (Vic Mojica). Together with Worship ministry officers , I manned the registration table at the start
of the activity. Later on, we helped in
shepherding the recipient-families lined up for their Christmas packages. In between , there were catechetical activity,
a holy mass and dinner for the families.
We shared our time in helping others be happy
this Christmas.
It sure made
this Christmas a more meaningful one. The enriching education of the Bicolano Penguin slogs along.
