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.
