ADVENT TREE LIGHTING The rain stopped and it was a beautiful evening for our first Annual Advent Tree Lighting! Many thanks to all who helped make this magical event happen last weekend including the St. John yard crew who helped Chris Berg transport the large tree from the tree farm and position it in just the right spot in our courtyard. Thanks also to Deacon Adolfo, who together with Chris, put together a beautiful lighting display, both on the tree and in the courtyard area in general. As always, we are most appreciative of our talented and giving musicians who led us in song prior to and following the lighting of the tree. Catholic Daughters served up many a cup of hot chocolate and apple cider, and treated us to goodies as well. And lastly, a shout out to the Knights who handed out prayer cards as well as a delightful Ad- vent calendar for kids of all ages. Be sure to check out the tree which is lit every night until 9:00pm. WHAT A GREAT MORNING AT THE MOVIES The Knights did it again: what a great morning at the movies!! Kids of all ages were spotted sitting on Santa’s lap, mugging for a photo with the jolly fellow and Mrs.

  • Early Architecture in the Philippines
    Early Architecture in the Philippines Introduction The fact there is not, and never has been a characteristically Philippine Architecture is not necessarily a reflection upon the genius of the Filipinos. There are many critics who contend with some degree of justification, that America has no distinct architecture and who accuse American architects of plagiarizing the ancient Greek, Roman and renaissance architectural forms. The Greeks and the Romans borrowed the principle of the column and the lintel from the Egyptians, who first utilized it on an extensive architectural scale, and the Gothic architects borrowed the principle of the arch from the Romans, so it is evident that progress in architecture has not been made by the repudiation of early architectural discoveries but rather by the development and amplification of them. The Philippines may go through a long period in which the adaptation of European and American science and technology shall be accomplished before the field or original research is reached and so in architecture - they must proceed far with he adaptation of foreign architectural styles and methods of construction before a distinctly characteristic Philippine style will appear. To evolve a new style, it is necessary to consider our cultural heritage and legitimate utilization of exotic architectural motives practically modified to conform to the customs of commercial and private life and to the existence of tropical heat and torrential rains. Geography, religion, and time were responsible for the admixture of our ancient culture. Originally a part of the great continent of Asia, the Philippines became an archipelago of 7,100 islands after the post glacial period.

  • Holy Week Rituals in the Philippines from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, Here's How the Catholic Faithful in the Philippines Observe the Holy Week
    Overview: Holy Week rituals in the Philippines From Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, here's how the Catholic faithful in the Philippines observe the Holy Week Michael Bueza Published 1:18 PM, Apr 03, 2015 Updated 1:45 PM, Apr 03, 2015 MANILA, Philippines – The Holy Week (or Mahal na Araw ) features the story of Jesus Christ's passion, death, and resurrection. The different levels of devotion of the Catholic faithful are visible this week, as they reflect on the agony and sacrifice of the Son of God to deliver the world from sin. Here's a quick overview of rites and rituals during Holy Week in the Philippines. Palm Sunday In the morning of Palm Sunday, churches reenact the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem, days before his Passion on the cross. In churches like the Mary Mirror of Justice Parish (MMJP) in Comembo, Makati City, for instance, a Palm Sunday celebration starts with a procession called latag or laying a thing (like a a cloth) on the floor. Pieces of cloth are laid on the priest's path as he makes his way to the church for Mass. Meanwhile, the parishioners wave their palaspas or palm fronds, which the priest blesses. The palm fronds are brought home by churchgoers. Meanwhile, the pabasa or the chanting in public of the Pasyon – a 16th to 17th century epic poem narrating the life of Jesus Christ from birth to resurrection – also begins during the Holy Week (or sometimes earlier in some areas). Maundy Thursday Holy Thursday starts with the "Chrism mass," where the Chrism oil – used during baptism, confirmation rites, and the anointing of the sick – is blessed.

    THE YEAR 2020 IN REVIEW “Among us, who is above must be in service of the others. This doesn’t mean we have to wash each other’s feet every day, but we must help one another.” - POPE FRANCIS HE IRONY OF OUR TIME IS THAT, WE FOCUS ON THE PANDEMIC COVID-19 Tand yet we are distracted with the many issues that seem to haunt our routinary schedule of life. Anxiety, frustration, and even hopelessness have crept in the viral ecology of human existence. Are we not aware of Pope Francis’ warning in 2013, that, “… we can all be overly fearful. If we allow doubts and fears to dampen our courage, instead of being creative, we will remain comfortable and make no progress whatsoever. In this case, we will not take an active part in the historical processes, but become mere onlookers as the world (Church) gradually stagnate. (Evangelii Gaudium No. 129) The 9th Annual Report of LASAC, with the theme, “Helping as One: Loving across borders”, presents the Archdiocesan Social Action response to the many unfortunate events that happened in the Province of Batangas in the year 2020—Taal Volcano Eruption, COVID-19 pandemic, and the several typhoons in the last quarter of the year. Recalling the experiences of 2020, and as we continue sailing in the ocean of fear due to the pandemic, Pope Francis reminds us, that “… when we realize we are in need of salvation and are not self-sufficient, then we turn to Jesus and hand Him our fears, He will conquer them. Because this is God’s strength: turning to the good everything that happens to us, even the bad things.

  • The Vocation of Saint Ignatius of Loyola by Javier Luis Gomez
    Santuario de San Antonio Parish We Care Because We Pray Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 29, 2018 The Vocation of Saint Ignatius of Loyola By Javier Luis Gomez One of the most famous saints in the Catholic tradition is none other than Saint Ignatius of Loyola. He is most well known for founding the Jesuits and for writing the Spiritual Exercises, which has guided many people in deepening their spiritual lives. As a Church, we celebrate his Feast Day on July 31. Ignatius’ story also presents us with this idea of someone who has been able to turn his life around completely. He was once a wordly man who lived for his own honor, and suddenly, through his conversion, he was able to commit himself to the that we are not. Instead, He will invite us to be mission of God. the people that we are truly meant to be. If you are someone who is organized and good at But I want to invite you to think of Ignatius’ planning, God will not ask you to completely let conversion as less of an about-face and more loose and go wild. Our vocation is a careful of a personal transformation. Even after his interaction between our own self-knowledge and conversion, he is still a courtly knight, but instead our ability to listen and discern God’s voice in and of chivalry to women, he defends Mary, our Lady. around us. After his conversion, he no longer fights for Spain, but for the kingdom of God. He even organized the Jesuits as a “company” (In Spanish, compañeros In the spiritual life, God calls us as we are.

The number six represents the six vicariates (Hemet, High Desert, Low Desert, Riverside, San Bernardino and West- End) in the Diocese of San Bernardino which are distributed to the two counties that comprise the diocese: San Bernardino The first LOGO was designed by MICHAEL and Riverside. The human images are the Filipinos residing AZUL, a parishioner of Holy Family Parish in in the 6 vicariates. They are close to one another to convey the Hesperia in 1994. unity that they signify, and that through their unity, a harmonious immersion to their respective parishes will be smoothly accomplish. ►BAMBOO CROSS: This represents the flexibility of the Filipinos, that where they settled, they always blossom in their faith. The bamboo can be used as tributaries where water will flow to give life to arid lands; likewise the Filipinos, firm as they are, they have a loving heart that feels the cries and needs of others; they become life-givers. • ►WHITE CLOTH HANGING ON THE CROSS: The white cloth represents resurrection, and this is the vision of the Filipinos, that wherever they are they can always live the resurrection as life- givers.
