institution and investiture of altar servers

25 young men were instituted as altar servers and invested with altar server's robe by Rev. Fr. Jojo Revidad, our parish priest last November 15, 2009. These came after attending series of liturgical formations and a team building seminar workshop given by Bro. Jupe Garalde.


The 25 are divided into three groups which are entrusted to the care of the Archangels.

During their institution to the ministry of Altar Servers, these young men promised to offer their lives to the service of the Sacraments especially to the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. In his sharing, Bro. Jupe reminded them of their responsibility to be models in prayer and in values to the other young men in the parish. He further called them to strive to live as responsible Filipino Christians, toward which their continuous formation in the ministry is aimed.


This was the first time in more than a decade that the parish Altar Servers were invested with 'sutanilia'. And this was made possible through the joints efforts of the Commission on Worship of the parish, parents and the generosity of several donors.

The parish would like to thank the donors:

Mrs. Becbec Chua
Mrs. Rebecca Mercader
Mrs. Corazon Bolonia
Mrs. Nancy Abitria
Mrs. Nena Magdamit
Kgd. Sulay Magdaraog
Mrs. Jasmin Manrique
