Brgy. Binday hosts “Visitation”

25 July 2009 – San Fabian. The chapel of Brgy. Binday was one of the barangay chapels destroyed by Typhoon Cosme last May 2008. This did not deter the residents of Binday to welcome the sacred images of the Divine Mercy and the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was decided among themselves that the home of Mrs. Marissa Gachallan will shelter the images. The Adult Formation Program was held in the same place.

The Youth Encounter, however, was held at the Barangay Hall.

Mass and the celebration of the sacrament of Baptism were celebrated on 25 July 2009, Saturday. The images were received by Brgy. Ambalangan Dalin from Binday in the afternoon of 25 July, Saturday.

Parish Project almost finished

24 July 2009 – San Fabian. After a little more than a month, the project initiated by the Parish Pastoral Council as a commemoration of the hosting of the Vicariate III Celebration of the the Solemnity of Christ this coming 22 November 2009, is about 95% finished. The Pastoral Pastoral Council last 20 May 2009 decided that one of the two major projects that would be built would be the construction of a covered pathway linking the parish church, the parish center and the Mt. Carmel Chapel. The other project is the repair of the roof of the parish rectory.

The project was started lat 10 June 2009. Bro. Bernie Solis was tasked to build the covered pathway with Engr. Santiago Alhambra.

Polycarbonate material is used to cover the pathway. The project will protect parishioners from rains and will provide shade for parishioners as they walk from the church to the parish center.

When finished, the project will cost about Phil Pesos Two Hundred Eighty One Thousand (P281,000.00). Funds for the construction of the pathway are being solicited from the generosity of the parishioners.

Brgy. Visitation in Palapad

18 July 2009 – San Fabian. The heavy rains brought about by Typhoon Isang did not deter the faithful of Palapad from welcoming and showing their love and devotion to Jesus, the Divine Mercy and His mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. In a solemn mass presided by Rev. Fr. Oliver E. Mendoza, the parish priest, the week long visitation came to an end. The celebration of the Sacrament of Baptism followed with eleven children receiving the sacrament. The visitation in Palapad was from 11-18 July 2009.

Due to the inclement weather, the Youth Encounter was postponed and re-scheduled a week later. The adult formation program however pushed through.

The faithful braved the rains as they brought the images from the chapel of Palapad while on procession to Brgy. Binday.
