GIAN LORENZO, parish helper, finds joy in taking care of the altar; he is assigned in cleaning all the holy statues and keeping dust away from them. He is an only child from her mother’s first marriage, and just like his mother, Lyn, Gian is a scholar of the Ina nin Bikol Foundation, Inc. (ibfi). sjtp Pastor Fr. Wilmer Tria is influential enough in his pursuit of higher education. He is able combine work and studies as he is now in third year college taking a course in Sports and Welfare Managementt at Bicol State College for Applied Science and Technology (biscast). During free time, he plays the guitar and do sports. He is thankful that despite his work in the Parish, Fr. Wilmer allows him to go to school. Gian feels grateful too for the values he learned in serving the Parish. He would like to be a teacher someday and be an inspiration to his fellow youth.
ROMMEL SALES, parish helper. For a drug dependent surenderee, Rommel found it is hard to gain anyone’s trust. It was God’s grace that he found it eventually in the Parish. The Fathers are kind to him. He helps in the kitchen and is responsible for the upkeep of the lavatories. Rommel has a background in computer electronics and does household electric troubleshooting. He once dreamt of becoming a soldier, which did not come true. His work at sjtp allowed him to regained self-respect. He is grateful to Fr. Wilmer for the trust. He was

or the first time, the pwb is taking a peek at the daily grind inside the very convent of sjtp. Particularly, we fix our spotlight on the those who help make the pastoral duties of our priests, Fathers Nunz, Rex, and Wilmer, easier to fulfill. They are those who make sure that the church, the house, as well as the office, are always kept in order. Let us know their stories, their work, and the life within the parish convent.

encouraged to attend the Parish Renewal Experience. He finds his work in the parish as purpose-driven because this is the only way he can pay tribute to the Lord for bringing him back to a more meaningful life. CELZO BELDA, gardener. Junior, as he is fondly called, started to work as the parish gardener four years ago. He’s in change of keeping the parish, especially the church and its surroundings, green and beautiful. He is also responsible in ensuring the Parish is clean. During his free hours, he listens to old songs and plays games on his cellphone. He loves his work because the plants give natural beauty to the church. He hopes to become an electrician. To him, it is never too late to go to school and pursue dreams. Junior, has only one request for all parishioners: to put the trash in the trash bins and to help him maintain the cleanliness of the surroundings by not throwing dirt anywhere. He finds himself lucky as a gardener of the parish, because he can contribute in making the parish fit for prayer and worship. 4
CATECHISM: leading others to the light of faith
he Catechist is a person of faith who leads others in understanding the faith teachings according to the official teachings of the Church, the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The role of the catechist is a vital ministry to the Church. It is a gift that has tremendous value to the world community at large because through the catechist’s word and action, the message of Christ continues to have a place in all human affairs. The sjtp Catechetical Ministry was installed by Msgr. Jose Roberto Carpio in 1997. The original catechists were seminarians from the Holy Rosary Major Seminary (hrms). During the term of Msgr. Rodel M. Cajot, after undergoing necessary trainings, lay catechists finally took over the catechesis program. To date, after a couple of decades, sjtp is adequately providing catechetical
instructions to four public elementary schools, one private elementary school, and one public high school, through the present six senior volunteer catechists and two new volunteer catechists. Mrs. Herminia Cordial efficiently coordinates the group. Other members are Socorro Altares, Lolita Cruzana, Vicenta Hernandez, Vida Llagas, and Melba Nobleza. New catechists Lolita Almine and Pura
Machica have also joined the group. The team is inspired by its spiritual director, sjtp pastor Fr. Wilmer Joseph S. Tria. The schools under sjtp catechetical instructions program are: Villa Corazon Elementary School, Del Rosario Elementary School, Concepcion Grande Elementary School, Villa Grande Elementary School, Marianne Montessori School, and Del Rosario High School. For the school year 2017-2018, we are providing catechesis classes to a little more than 2,500 students. We start our regular classes every July of each year and ends in February of the following year. An integral part of catechism is to ensure that the students receive the necessary CATECHISM/next page

Sacraments: Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist for grade three pupils, and the Sacrament of Confirmation for grade six pupils. Once a month, a Eucharistic Celebration is held in each of the schools. During the Rosary month of October, Living Rosary is held in every school.
