JUST IN: Redemptorist Tacloban installed new members of Lectors and Eucharistic Lay Ministers renewed old members and blessed the newly built Ministers' Lounge
Today’s gospel on the 2nd Sunday of Advent, taken from the book of Matthew 17:1–9, invited us to reflect upon the role of John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Jesus and the salvation that he would bring to us.
The mass was presided over by the parish priest, Rev. Fr. Gerardo Matriano, C.S.s.R., who also presided over the installation of new members of the word ministers and eucharistic lay ministers, as well as our team of volunteers in legal advising, We have six new lectors, nine lay ministers, and four legal advisers who will offer their time for free in advising our parishioners who cannot pay an attorney’s fee.
After the mass, the blessing of the newly built minister's lounge was done by the parish priest and the Provincial Youth Director, Rev. Fr. Vincent Chloe Que, C.S.s.R., at the back of the church. It started with a ribbon cutting and was followed by a blessing prayer inside the lounge, witnessed by the newly renewed ministers in the parish. The lounge will be open during Wednesdays and Sundays and other Holy Day of Obligation masses while waiting for the mass to start.
May the Blessed Mother and her Son always pour out blessings to the people who helped to make this project possible.
