BLESSED JOHNPAUL II CHAPTER HOSTS FEAST 2012 Barely a year old, TawagAwit-Blessed John Paul II Mass Centre chapter has accepted many challenges that has come its way, and accomplished these well. The members, among the pioneering brethren who helped Fr Sam Pulanco in the establishment of the mass centre, sometimes sing in consecutive Sundays in absence of any other group. Bro Nelson Unalivia, servant leader, said that the group has had its hands full; but it has never turned away from serving, such as raising funds to buy sound equipment where they joined other parishioners in carolling; leading in the 40-days Prayer for Victory of the All Blacks during the 2011 Rugby World Cup; and actively participating in the Stations of the Cross in Auckland during Good Friday. “As much as possible, we attend activities organised by TawagAwit such as OG: Open Gathering and the two GigAlive’s that helped talented youths pursue their dreams,” shared Bro Nelson, “and we are deeply honoured to be hosting Food & Music FEAST the 5th anniversary celebration of TawagAwit on May 27. We are looking forward to meeting members from the other chapters.” To be welcomed are brethren from the two chapters that were organised this year, namely, Mount Mary Parish, Titirangi (led by Bro Ed/Sis Beth Alfante) and Christ the King Parish, Owairaka (led by Bro Romil/Sis Cherry Fernandez). The other chapters that have committed to participate are St Mary’s Northcote; St Thomas More Glenfield; Our Lady of Lourdes Glen Eden; St Mark’s Pakuranga, St Patrick’s Taupo; and Blessed John Paul II Mass Centre Albany. Teachers in Sandals Fellowship, the sister ministry of TawagAwit, will send a delegation as well.

Our Theme: 5 Years in Harmony: High Five In May 2007, a handful of brethren signed a document that contained the vision, mission and core values statements of TawagAwit, a Catholic Ministry spreading God’s Word through music and other acts of love. Bro Mel B Libre responded to a Spiritual calling to organise a singing group that would make regular music offerings in church. While only three of those who attended the first meeting returned for the second one, others came forward to compose the group that would form the core that sang in its first full mass in St Mary’s Northcote. When the first accompanist Bro Dingdong Maderazo left for Australia, Fr Craig Dunford, parish priest, assigned pianist/arranger Thomas Tang and later, Jenny Fox, to help the group in its song selections, in its rehearsals and in its offerings. From one group, TawagAwit organised chapters in other parishes, first in St Thomas More Glenfield, followed by Our Lady of Lourdes-Glen Eden, St Mark’s Pakuranga, St Patrick’s Taupo, Blessed John Paul II Albany and, this year, Mt Mary’s Titirangi. Other than singing during the assigned masses, TawagAwit organised activities to strengthen the bond among members and to pursue its mission of “spreading God’s Word through music and other acts of love”. Among these activities were: Singalleluia!; OG: Open Gathering; Sow&Harvest; Outogether; Teaching Night; Songwriting Workship; Alay Laya Parish Reach Out; and Food & Music FEAST. In 2011, it started with GigAlive to raise funds to assist deserving youths in pursuit of their dreams. To ensure that members are updated on the plans and activities of the ministry, a monthly newsletter, NEW NOTES, has been published regularly since May 2007. Among the factors that contribute to the continuing growth of TawagAwit are: dedicated servant leadership; committed membership; friendship and camaraderie; joy in singing; and love of God. These factors have allowed the ministry to weather the challenges and difficulties encountered through the years. TawagAwit will celebrate on May 27, 2012 its fifth founding anniversary in Food & Music FEAST 2012 for the blessings that the ministry and its members have experienced; to express gratitude to its patron, Blessed John Paul II; and to affirm to the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit the pursuit of its vision of bringing “harmony in the world”. High five to one and all!

MASS SINGING IN FEAST 2012 Members of each of the chapters of TawagAwit sing during their assigned masses in their respective parishes. Most chapters offer their songs every month including St Mary’s Northcote, St Mark’s Pakuranga, St Patrick’s Taupo and Blessed John Paul II. St Thomas More Glenfield and Our Lady of Lourdes Glen Eden are scheduled once every two months. The new chapters, namely Mt Mary’s Titirangi and Christ the King Parish, Owairaka plan to sing every month. For the first time, members of all the chapters will sing together during the 10:30am Mass on Sunday May 27, 2012 to mark the 5th anniversary of the founding of TawagAwit.
