Prayer for the victims of Typhoon Ondoy and for those who are helping them.

"Heavenly Father, we humbly pray to you as a nation.
We beg You, look upon us with mercy.
For our brothers who lost their lives,
receive them in Your bosom.
For the families they left behind,
console them.
For those who are still missing and those trying to get home to their families,
make their way easy.
For those looking and waiting for missing family and relatives,
steady their faith.
For those still waiting for help,
give them strength.
For those who have lost their homes and property,
give them hope.
For those involved in relief and rescue operations,
make them competent and selfless.
Everything we do for our unfortunate brethren,
we offer to You and Your glory.
All this we pray in the most holy Name of Jesus.
Amen.

First Friday Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

"The First Friday Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is based on a promise made by Our Lord Jesus Christ during an Apparition to St. Margaret Mary. This promise was implicitly approved by the Church in the 1920 canonization of St. Margaret Mary. The promise reads:


I promise you in the excessive Mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful Love will grant to all those who communicate on the First Friday in nine consecutive months the Grace of Final Penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving the Sacraments; My Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment."

We Are Looking For 8 Ushers/Usherettes for Saturday, Aug. 22, 9 AM Memorial Mass at St. Ignatius Church

We are looking for 8 ushers/usherettes for Saturday, Aug. 22, 9 AM memorial mass at St. Ignatius church (Boston college), Chestnut Hill.

We will need ushers to welcome people, to direct them to signing in the condolence book (which will be send to the aquino family), and to make sure people don't sit way back from the altar. St. Ignatius church tends to be narrow and long, so this is particularly important. I expect we'll need the ushers to do their job until perhaps after the homily. We need the ushers to get people to move out of the church quickly after mass. We need to vacate the church premises/parking lot by 10:45 a.m. there's a wedding rehearsal at 11 a.m.

Suggested attire for ushers: barong or white shirt & black pants.
Request ushers to be in church before 8:30 a.m. for briefing before the attendees start coming.

Please email Teng at gchiefe@aol.com if interested/available. As always, thank you for your support. We'll appreciate all the help we can get to ensure the success of the event.

Take care & God bless,

Teng Chiefe

Thank You - Divine Mercy Pilgrimage/Filipino Day

Dear All,

On behalf of Fr. Celestino and the Pastoral Council Officers, I'd like to express our gratitude to all who went to attend the Filipino Day & Pilgrimage at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts on Saturday, June 27, 2009. Thank you for your continued support.

I'd like to express our sincere appreciation to those who participated to make the PROGRAM a great success. I'd like to thank the Program Coordinator, Annie Talaid, who did a great job in the preparation & rehearsal to ensure the success of the Show. Unfortunately, Annie had a serious accident during the event. We pray for her fast recovery. Thanks to Nards Gutierrez & John Manuel who quickly took over and coordinated the Show.

I would also like to recognize the unsung heroes (parents & staff behind the scene) who ensured the smooth flow of the program. Maraming salamat po!

Thank you also to those who brought Filipino food to share with the other pilgrimage group. This gesture showcase the great trait of the Filipinos - Hospitality.

I'd be remiss if I don't mention the outstanding performance of the LITURGICAL DANCERS. You were just great! A perfect ending for a long day of activities.

To all the PROGRAM participants, Thank You. The performance was unbelievably great. Now, our only problem is how to surpass it next year.

Take care & God bless,


Gracita (Teng) Chiefe
Divine Mercy Event Overall Coordinator
