On the Solemnity of Holy Trinity, Sunday, May 27th we heard the commission of our Lord, Jesus Christ. He sent apostles to proclaim the good news, make disciples and baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. We witnessed the fulfillment of the Gospel through the Sacrament of Baptism administered to Luciana Maria Aldas Pillasagua, the precious daughter of Angel Aldas and Wendy (Pillasagua); proud godparents were uncle and aunt: Gustavo Hualoto and Susana Aldas. We congratulate parents, godparents, family members and friends on this special occasion.
The Sacrament of Baptism is the foundation of our Christian faith, it is a gateway to life in the Spirit and the door that gives access to other sacraments. It regenerates us to a new life of grace, unites us with God, and makes us members of Christ’s Church. In baptism we are immersed into the life of Jesus – His death and resurrection.
We welcome Luciana as the newest member of our parish.

On the Solemnity of Pentecost we witnessed the celebration of First Holy Communion administered to Roxanne Cadavid, Joseph Cadavid, Dominic Porcoro Jr., and Julianna Porcoro. We congratulate them and their families on this special day.
The new recipients of the Holy Eucharist are welcomed to participate in the life of the parish by serving as altar servers, and in the future, as lectors reading the Word of God.
The Holy Eucharist is Jesus Christ who is really present under the forms of bread and wine. In the Eucharist, Jesus Christ gives us Himself as a food for our souls. The bread and wine becomes the Body and Blood of our Lord during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass when the priest says words of consecration which Jesus used during the Last Supper: This is My Body… This is My Blood… (Catechism of the PNCC)
