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
