Final Oomph

It seems as if it were like yesterday when the Latino community made their dwelling where they used to meet and celebrate on Sundays at St Paul’s parish, the second home for them. Their gift of relationships and act of thanksgiving portrayed in many chapters of their involvements; their songs, laughters, and humble supplications reminded me of their belonging to a family of the faithfuls. Indeed, as I think of what we’ve built and formed especially in many occasions or sacred celebrations; I can’t help but recall those mem’ries with inspiration that our journey must go on with God’s mercy for all. The genesis of human formation, along with participation, provides us with a clear understanding of their culture; it’s a languge of their customs and traditions as God’s people, lived in an environment where there’s caring and loving. I cherish the moments when we held the kids’ confirmation, also, their first communion preceded by their catechetical instructions; such a milestone that everyone made it to turn up on these events, like a promise, a homecoming that God awaits us all. The eucharist that highlights our community gathering, makes us aware that Christ is always at the center of every individual’s life and effort for thanksgiving this sacred meal is fundamental to family sharing. Well, as our parish merges with the parish of the Assumption changes, however, enable us to welcome them with openness; activities, along with the calendar of events that’s in store for us, a journey of discovery, a process that will make us grow.
