Despite the limited funds, Rev. Fr. Jojo Revidad, gave a green light on the repair of our parish rectory (kumbento) last December 18, 2009. However, even before it was made into full blown, there were already initial repairs made in the interior of the kumbento, such as the electrical wiring and the lightings of the convent, which ensured a safer and brighter rectory.
The initial funds came from a share from separate fund raisings made by the Parish Pastoral Council and the Altar Servers last Christmas Season. Last December 20, 2009 the PPC launched the 'Tulong Barya para sa Parokya', a Christmas raffle promo which was successfully held during our New Year's Countdown celebration, last December 31 2009 - January 01, 2010. From the total income incurred from it, Kumbento repair got a 50 percent share amounting to P29,210.00 (partial). In addition to this, our rectory repair was also able to get another 50 percent cut amounting to P11,520.00 from the fund raising made by the parish altar servers last December 25-27, 2010. Aside from money mentioned above, we also got an amount of P1,600.00 from three parishioners who initiated donation for this particular purpose. Moreover, generous personal friends of our Parish Priest donated some amount of money with a particular intention for the repair of his room.
From all these financial resources, the parish starts the renovation of the rectory which also coincides with the construction of the Grotto in honor of Sto. Nino at the side of our parish church. The construction of the grotto also got its initial fund from a generous donor, a devotee of the Child Jesus who donated P25,000.00 and the image of Sto. Nino to the parish. We continue praying that the devotees of Sto. Nino will be supporting us so that it will reach its completion in God's time. (For the other entry regarding the Grotto, please click the Sto. Nino link at the end of this entry.)
With all these constructions on going, the parish is in full trust to the intercession of St. Joseph and Our Lady of Penafrancia, that in God's grace and with the support from all of you they will be put in their completion as soon as possible.
