Sending Forth of Mass Gift Gatherers and Ushers

On Sunday, July 5, 2026, at 8:00 o’clock in the morning Eucharistic Celebration, the Mass Gift Gatherers and Ushers of St. Mary of the Perpetual Rosary Parish were gathered to celebrate a meaningful and blessed event, the Sending Forth.

The Holy Mass was presided by Rev. Fr. Orlando A. Angelia, Parish Priest with Bro. Ian Murillo. This occasion was a testament to the dedication and service of 30 adults and 29 youths who willingly volunteered to serve the congregation through their generosity and hospitality.

The Gospel reading for the day conveyed a powerful message: “There is no one exempted from problems and trials in life.” Despite the challenges that come our way—whether in our homes, families, or personal lives—God reminds us that we are never alone. He is always present, close to us, and ready to give us strength and hope.

In our journey of faith, we are called to remain grateful and trust in God’s unwavering presence. Mama Mary, our loving Mother, assures us that she will never leave us in our times of need. Even amidst difficulties, we must hold on to hope, knowing that God’s goodness is always at our side. As the Psalm and the Gospel highlight, staying resilient and hopeful in trials is essential. We are encouraged to lean on God’s mercy, trusting that He will never abandon us.

The act of gift-gathering and ushering is more than just service; it is a manifestation of our faith and trust in God’s providence. As we continue to serve, let us remember that our efforts are rooted in gratitude and reliance on God’s grace. Just as the Gospel reminds us to remain strong despite life’s challenges, let us carry this message in our hearts as we serve our congregation with love and devotion.

May this event inspire us to remain steadfast in faith, hopeful in trials, and generous in service. Let us continue to support one another, trusting that with God’s guidance, we can overcome any obstacle. (Nimuel Galvez, PSL)
