First Communion Celebrated for School Children

Paulo Serrano — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 03:28:08 +0000

Seventy five (75) grade school students from Santa Rita Elementary School (S.R.E.S./Central) received their First Communion rites today, March 11, 2012 during the 8:30 mass at Santa Rita Parish Church, under the supervision of the catechists of the Ministry of Formation headed by Sis. Adoracion “Ador” Rocha.

The children actively participated in singing and responding during the Mass. Msgr. Gene Reyes, parish priest of Sta. Rita, noted that the communicants were more alive in participating than the rest of the parishioners – he even added that it seemed better to have First Communion Rites every Sunday to have live Masses.

The first communicants, composed mostly of Grade 3 pupils and some in the Grade 4 and 5 level of S.R.E.S., underwent almost 4 months of preparation, orientation and catechesis to prepare them in receiving the sacrament of Holy Communion for the first time as new official members of the worshiping community of Sta. Rita.

In an interview, Sis. Ador said that the first communicants were expected not only to participate on Sunday Masses in the coming days, but also to be active in different organizations like the choir, Tarcisians, Children of Mary Immaculate (COMI) and the like.
Today’s first communicants were the second batch among the students of Central, and the fourth batch among those who received their First Communion since February of this year. Other batches from other schools in Sta. Rita would follow in the next Sundays to come.

Parish Hosts Vicarial Lectors’ Renewal and Seminar

Paulo Serrano — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 02:41:21 +0000

Lectors and commentators of the different parishes under the Vicariate of Saint Joseph attended the renewal and seminar of lectors held at the Santa Rita Parish Church, Sta. Rita, Pampanga on January 28, 2012 – the vicariate holding a general blessing of lectors for the very first time.

The half-day event was started with a lecture, with Msgr. Gene Reyes, parish priest of Sta. Rita, as the speaker and lecturer, and was thereafter followed by a Eucharistic Celebration.

Msgr. Reyes’ lecture focused on the qualities a lector must have and the differences between a “reader” and a “proclaimer”. He also explained the importance of the Bible in a lector’s life and the Word of God should become a part of their life as proclaimers of the Word.

After reminding his audience how lectors were being “watched” or observed all throughout by people, Msgr. Reyes advised the attendees to be extra responsible of their actions, with or without their uniform. He further gave some tips on how to proclaim effectively, especially about eye contact and phrasing.

Before the final blessing, Msgr. Gene announced that the collections and offerings in cash on the Mass would be given as funds to the Vicariate to be used for their future programs, which was met with joyful applause by the attendees.

The six parishes of the Vicariate of Saint Joseph who participated in the event were: Santa Rita Parish of Sta. Rita, Virgen delos Remedios Parish of Dila-Dila, Immaculate Conception Parish of Guagua, St. James Parish of Betis, Sta. Lucia Parish of Sasmuan, and the Holy Rosary Parish of Malusac.

Convent construction donors to be feted in a concert

SCM SRP — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 04:02:38 +0000

On Saturday, 10 December 2010, at 7:00 p.m., the Parish of Santa Rita de Cascia, through its Parish Finance & Pastoral Councils, will serenade the major donors (second cycle of the fund-raising) to the construction of its new convent in an outdoor benefit concert, to be held at the parish convent garden.

Artists who are friends of the parish will perform classical Filipino songs – from kundimans to timeless ballads that will surely make for a sentimental evening.

Guests are requested to come in formal or Filipiniana attire.

What is Advent?

Karen Shih — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 05:08:06 +0000

In the last meeting of the Parish Pastoral Council, the head of the Music Ministry, Ms. Recita G. Pineda, reminded the Chapel Pastoral Council (CPCs) choirs to refrain from singing Christmas songs during Advent. Christmas songs should only be allowed after the birth of Christ onwards. Why? Isn’t the start of Simbang Bengi the start of Christmas already? How is Advent different from Christmas?

Watch the video to know the reason why.

Procession of Augustinian Saints To Be Held

Karen Shih — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 01:33:01 +0000

When Miguel López de Legazpi arrived on the island of Cebu 1565, he was accompanied by the Augustinian Andrés de Urdaneta, the chief sailor of the expedition, and four other Augustinians.

In 1571, the expedition reached Manila, where the Augustinians built the main house of their order in the Philippines.

By 1578, the Order was joined by the Franciscans, and then by the Jesuits (1581), the Dominicans (1587) and by the Recollects (1606).

In 1595, the entire island was divided amongst the missionaries for evangelisation. The Franciscans were assigned Camarines and Bicol. To the Jesuits was given Samar and Leyte. Cagayan, Pangasinan, parts of Bataan, Isabela, Babuyanes and Batanes were in the charge of the Dominicans, while the Recollects went to Zambales, Palawan, Calamianes, and parts of Mindanao. Of course, being the first to arrive in the islands, the Augustinians were given the prime choice of the Tagalog provinces, Pampanga, Ilocos, Cebu and Panay.

In connection with being a former Augustinian parish – for parishioners to be more aware and appreciative of this heritage – and to promote the devotion to Our Lady of Consolation, within the Santa Rita de Cascia Parish will be held the procession of Augustinian Saints on Sunday, 13 November, at 7:30 p.m., after the 5:30 p.m. Mass.

The 13th of November is the birthday of St. Augustine and is also traditionally observed by the Augustinian Order as the day to celebrate all the saints of their order, not only those who are officially considered as Saints and Blesseds by the Catholic Church but also the Augustinians who have lived holy lives on earth and are now in heaven. Through the procession, parishioners are invited to know more about the particular saints and be inspired by their lives.

The images that will be in the procession are as follows:

St. Rita of Cascia
St. Augustine of Hippo
St. Monica
St. John Stone
St. Clare of Montefalco
St. Magdalene of Nagasaki
St. Nicholas of Tolentine
St. William the Hermit
St. Ezequiel Moreno
St. Alypius of Thagaste
St. John of Sahagún
St. Thomas of Villanueva
St. Alfonso de Orozco
Nuestra Señora de Consolacion y Correa

This is being organised by the Cofradia ning Cintas.
