Dorico, Pastoral Director; and Sis. Karen D. Gajutos, Pastoral Secretariat Executive Secretary and Diocesan Synod Lay Contact Person.

Fr. Pio Aquiatan Jr. and Fr. Zandro Gorgonia initiated said gathering in coordination with the Parish Pastoral Council, in time for their pre-Christmas party "Pasko sa Parokya 2025".

Members, old and young from the parish and outside Poblacion Barangays gather as one in the Spirit of synodality and stewardship as they share their time, talent and resources for this important gathering.

Sis Karen shared the Vision, Mission and Goals of the Diocese and the Bishops who administered and currently shepherding the Diocese. She also presented the Pre-Synodal Journey of San Roque and the Diocese, as well as the briefer of the 2025-2028 Synodal Implementation Roadmap.

He also briefed the faithful about the current mission of the Diocese on the Basic Ecclesial Community (BEC)-- "One Barangay, One BEC". Further, he enlightened them about the consultative function of the PPC.

In closing, Fr. Aquiatan thanked the Pastoral Office for providing such valuable inputs as these are useful as they officially take a step forward for their pastoral and synodal journey in the parish and Barangay levels.

Today we celebrate one of the Church’s most beautiful truths
that Mary, by a singular grace from God, was preserved from original sin from the very first moment of her existence.

Not because she was divine, but because God prepared her perfectly to bear His Son.

The Immaculate Conception reminds us that grace is always God’s initiative.
He enters our story first.
He prepares, He heals, He restores, and He makes all things new.

As we honor our Immaculate Mother, may we open our hearts to the same grace that shaped hers.
Mary was created spotless so that Christ could come to us.
May her intercession lead us closer to her Son, who is our hope, our peace, and our salvation. 💙🙏

ANO NGA BA ANG IMMACULATE CONCEPTION?

Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Malinis na Paglilihi ng Pinagpalang Birhen Maria

✅Ito ay ang kalinis-linisang paglilihi sa Mahal na Birheng Maria ng kanyang inang si Santa Ana.

✴️Ibig sabihin, sa sinapupunan pa lang ni Santa Ana ang Mahal na Birheng Maria ay WALA NANG BAHID NG KASALANAN.

✴️Ang "original sin" ay isang konsepto sa teolohiya ng Kristiyanismo na tumutukoy sa kasalanan na nagawa ni Adan at Eva sa Eden. Ayon sa Genesis 3, ang unang mga tao ay kumain ng prutas mula sa punong nagbibigay ng kaalaman ng mabuti at masama, na ipinagbabawal ng Diyos. Ang paglabag na ito sa utos ng Diyos ay nagresulta sa pagkakapoot ng Diyos at sa pagkakaroon ng kasalanan sa sangkatauhan.

🇻🇦Mga Taga-Roma 5:12

📌Ang kasalanan
📍ay pumasok sa sanlibutan
👉sa pamamagitan ng isang tao,
📍at ang kamatayan
👉ay pumasok sa pamamagitan ng kasalanan.
🔹Dahil dito, lumaganap ang kamatayan sa lahat ng tao dahil ang lahat ay nagkasala.

🤔Bakit walang bahid ng kasalanan ang Mahal na Birheng Maria simula nang siya ay ipinaglihi pa lang ng kanyang inang si Santa Ana❓

✴️Alam natin na ang Panginoong Jesus,
✔️Diyos na totoo
✔️ang SALITA na nagkatawang tao
✔️ang bugtong na Anak ng Diyos,
📌ay isang Banal
🙅at walang kahit anong kasalanan
👉ay isinilang sa sanlibutan.

📖Catechism of the Catholic Church No. 491:

The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin.

✴️In short, niligtas muna ng Diyos ang Mahal na Birheng Maria sa kasalanan. Kaya sa paglilihi pa lamang ni Santa Ana kay Maria, malinis na siya.
Wala nang bahid ng kasalanan.

IS THERE ANYTHING IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD❓

🇻🇦Lucas 1:37
Sapagkat walang imposible sa Diyos.”

✴️Kaya nga napa-awit sa galak noon ang Mahal na Birheng Maria

🇻🇦Lucas 1:46-49

At sinabi ni Maria,
“Ang puso ko'y nagpupuri sa Panginoon,
at ang aking espiritu'y nagagalak sa Diyos na aking Tagapagligtas,
sapagkat nilingap niya akong kanyang abang alipin!

📌Mula ngayon,
📍ang lahat ng tao'y tatawagin akong pinagpala;

🔹dahil sa mga 👉dakilang bagay👈
🔹na ginawa 👉sa akin👈

📌ng Makapangyarihan.
Banal ang kanyang pangalan!

🔰BIBLICAL NA BASEHAN

▪️1 CORINTHIANS 1:24
(New Jerusalem Bible)
“ but to those who have been called, whether they are Jews or Greeks, a
✝️CHRIST
who is both the
👉POWER OF GOD and the
👉WISDOM OF GOD.”

▪️WISDOM 1:4
(New Jerusalem Bible)
🔰“ wisdom
❌will never enter the soul of a wrong-doer,
❌nor dwell in a body enslaved to sin;”

▪️WISDOM 1:4
(Douay-Rheims Bible)
🔰“ For wisdom
❌will not enter into a malicious soul,
❌nor dwell in a body subject to sins.”

▪️MATTHEW 7:18
(New American Bible)
✅“A good tree
❌cannot bear bad fruit,
📍nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit.”

▪️LUKE 6:43
(New American Bible)
✅“A good tree
❌does not bear rotten fruit,
📍nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit.”

▪️JOB 14:4

❌No one can!”

▪️SIRACH 34:4
(New American Bible)

📌can the liar ever speak the truth?

✴️Yamang ang Mahal na Birhen
📌ay tinawag ng Anghel Gabiel na
👉FULL of GRACE👈 (Luke 1:28),
✅ibig sabihin, NAG-UUMAPAW sa kanya ang GRASYA ng DIOS at WALA nang PUWANG ang KASALANAN sa kanya.

▪️EPHESIANS 2:8
(New International Version)
📌For it is by 👉grace 👈
🫵you have been 👉saved,👈
✅through faith—
❌and this is not from yourselves,
✅it is the gift of God—

⚠️Kung duda pa rin at hindi mo kayang paniwalaaan ang Immaculate Conception,
para mo na ring sinabi na ang Panginoong Jesus
ay mula sa isang makasalanan!

‼️Malinaw pa sa sikat ng araw na ito ay isang pahayag ng pamumusong (BLASPHEMY)‼️

⚜️Nawa mas lalong naging malinaw sa atin ang Immaculate Conception ♥️🙏🏻
