Christmas Parties

Adorers Group Christmas Party

Adorers group of our parish experienced to be children once again as they had their Christmas Party last December 27, 2009 at the parish's activity center. Their party was organized by their group's president and one of our parish's commission on worship coordinators, Bro. Roy Masanque.

Altar Servers Christmas Party

St. Joseph Parish had their Christmas Party last January 01, 2010 midnight together with the parish's new year countdown. Their party was the fruit of their caroling at the poblacion barangays here in Donsol.

Little Marians Christmas Party

The Handmaids of Mary and of the Eucharist group or popularly known as little marians also had their midnight christmas party at the Parish office lobby. They were assisted by Sis. Erie Lorilla and Sis Nancy Abitria of the commission on worship.

Together with the Altar Servers, the little marians continued their party at the parish patio, joining other religious organizations and parishioners at the PPC-sponsored new year party.

Baby Jesus visited and blessed every family in some of the barangays of our parish

For the first time, Baby Jesus went around the poblacion and some chosen barangays last December 25-27, 2009. This activity was spearheaded by our altar servers who selflessly celebrated their own Christmas by bringing Christ at every home. The parish is happy to hear a lot positive responses from the parishioners for an another new experience here in our parish. This activity brought hope and blessing to every family as they welcome Jesus in their own home.

It was also a physically exhausting but very spiritually fulfilling experience of sacrifice for our altar servers as they braved the heat of the sun with their altar server's robe for three consecutive days. They were so happy and ever grateful because from this activity they were able to raise an amount of twenty three thousand forty pesos (PhP. 23,040.00). With this amount, they will share half of it for the repair of our parish rectory (kumbento) and the other half will be used for their on going formation.

The parish would like to thank all those who welcome altar servers, and the hermana of different barangays who assisted them on this activity.

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.

St. Gabriel

Junnel Necerio

Louie Malto
Obet Malto
Kevin Rae Anonuevo

St. Michael

Christian James Cadag
Reymond Oribiana
Arkhe Emmanuel Balictar

St. Raphael

Alexon Nemecius Pandaan
John Crispin Restoles

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
