Holy Name Society; One Family, One Mission

On January 17, 2016, in celebration of the Feast of the Sto. Niño, the Holy Name Society of San Nicolas de Tolentino Cathedral celebrated its 30th Founding Anniversary at St. Therese Gym. As part of the anniversary program, the different groups were presented. Sis Josefina Escauso presented the Youth Group. Bro. Reynaldo Albacite, NHS President, presented the NHS Men while the NHS Women were presented by Sis. Thelma Tajore. It was a timely occasion to know the different members of the group. The get together was an experience of a family and it gave an ambience of warmth and oneness. Then the oath taking of elected officers and the renewal of vows followed. The HNS President, Bro. Reynaldo Albacite led the renewal of vows.

According to Bro. Reynaldo, the said celebration started a day before. The members of the society gathered at Upper Bliss Covered Court between 9:00 – 11:30 AM for the Volleyball competition. Each team was composed of both men and women. The first team belonged to the team of Sis Thelma Tajore while the other team belonged to Bro. Lucio Jabilles. The first team turned out to be the champion of the game. The participants realized that it was not just a matter of competition but they had the chance to sweat out all the toxins and enjoy the healthy break. It was really a lot of fun.

They called it a night of all nights, and so to end the night, Sis. Thelma Tajore, HNS Adviser, gave the thank you message. Then the blessing of the food was lead by the Diocesan Focal Person, Bro. Bibiano Ongcay. Since the members were still high in spirits, amusing games were played and entertaining modern dances were rendered. The founding anniversary was really a day of blessings for the gift of each one and of renewal of commitment for the service of the Church
