Update on Re-Roofing of our Parish

The Parish Pastoral Council of St. Anthony of Padua headed by Rev. Fr. Sabino Fulo would like to express our deepest gratitude to the tremendous support we got from you, Gubatnons and Devotees of St. Anthony, for the Re-Rooffing Project of our Parish Church.   We are happy to announce that we have already fixed those part of the roof and gutters that were destroyed by the typhoon Glenda, last July 15, 2015. 

However,  we have decided to pursue the long-over-due major overhaul of the whole roof after discovering its dangerous condition. As of the posting time, the repair is about 40 percent done. 

In view of this, we reiterate our appeal for your continuous help for this project may come to completion as soon as possible. For our financial report of your donations and our disbursements, please see this link

Laity Week Celebration: Laiko, Like Ko!

Saint Anthony of Padua Parish was all out in reflecting the significant place and roles of the Laity in the Church as it joins the celebration of the National  Laity Week, September 21 - 27, 2014.

The week of the Laity was formally opened with a Solemn Eucharistic Celebration at the Christ the King Park, September 21, coinciding with the feast of INA, Our Lady of Penafrancia. It was however preempted with the Parish Youth Congress held on September 20 as part of the Laity Week celebration. This particular activity was attended by over three hundred (300) young men and women from all over  29 Kapilyas under the Parish.

Another significant activity of the celebration was Men's Fellowship. This 3-night activity exclusively for men aimed to empower the men of the Church and to reflect on their significant part in the life and mission of the Church. The Parish Pastoral Council decided to hold this particular activity coming from the common observation of the weakening  participation of men in most of the barangaychapels and in some BEC groups. 

Finally the celebration was culminated last September 27, 2014 with the 2nd General Assembly of the Laity, with the guest speaker Ms. Judith Ayo, diocesan lay commission head of the Commission of the Laity, and the celebration of the Holy Eucharist which was presided over by Rev. Fr. Sabino Fulo.

The Catholic Bishops Conference of  the Philippines (CBCP) has declared the celebration of Year of the Laity from December 01, 2013 - November 23, 2014,  as part of the  preparation of the 500 years celebration of our Catholic Faith in the Philippines. This year's theme is LAITY: Called to be Saints and set forth as Heroes

For the duration of the year, the Laity are recognized as significant part of the Church and thus called to choose to be brave in witnessing the Gospel of Christ
