We congratulate and pray for David Wei-Ying Yip and Jessica Natalie Gesualdi who received the Sacrament of Matrimony on Saturday, August 20th. Arthur Yip was the Best Man; Jennifer Gesualdi was the Maid of Honor. We also congratulate, parents, family members, relatives and friends.
Marriage is a sacrament which makes a Christian man and woman – husband and wife, gives them the grace to be faithful to each other and to bring up their children in love and devotion to God. The sacrament of Marriage is the image of the unconditional love of Jesus toward his Church. He showed us His love till the end. His love included compassion and forgiveness. Marriage is a package, first of a great happiness, support, understanding, but also time and moments of overlooking others differences and consequently moments of understanding and forgiveness.
A special thank you to the lectors who read the Holy Scriptures and our organist, Neil Estasnislao, who beautified the liturgy.
God bless David and Jessica Read More »
