Amidst the on-going strife against COVID19 Pandemic, Parishes were able to successfully conduct the Launching Activity which has become more meaningful and heartfelt despite of the health and safety protocols that everyone needs to follow. We might have scattered by the social distancing pact, yet we were united, heart and mind, by our deep sense of faith and trust in God.
The Commission on Liturgy of the Archdiocese prepared a simple Launching Rite and prayer, and were sent to the different parishes of the Archdiocese.
The creativity and artistry of the different ministries and organizations of the parishes prevailed, however the solemnity of the celebration was undiminished.
This simply shows that artistry and faith can always go elbow-to-elbow especially when catholics express their faith and devotion to God.
The Launching of the Year of Missio Ad Gentes is not the end of our 500th Anniversary Celebration rather the dawning of another year of Mission- to the Church, to the community and to our brothers and sisters especially the least, the lost and last, beyond color and race, religion and state. For we are all set for a Mission as we are all GIFTED TO GIVE.
May God be adored and Glorified both now and forever.
