Father Rene, our parish priest, is currently in Italy to celebrate the 50th Wedding Anniversary of a dear friend. He will be away from September 3rd until September 18th to partake in this joyous occasion. Accompanied by another priest from the Philippines, Father Rene has been invited to attend the long-awaited celebration, set to take place in Lecce on the 8th of September.

During his second week in Italy, Father Rene plans to visit the Sanctuary of the Great Saint of Padua, St. Anthony. This sanctuary hosts the largest institution dedicated to the education of underprivileged youth.

Parishioners can expect Father Rene's return in time for the 4th Sunday of September. Upon his return, he will lead an exchange of reflections about the Parish Annual Report with the members of the Finance Council and interested parishioners at the Parish Gathering Room after the 9:30am Mass.

The parish community extends their warm wishes to Father Rene for a joyous and meaningful time in Italy as he celebrates this special occasion. They eagerly anticipate his return and look forward to hearing about his experiences during his visit.
