Diocese of Imus held its 2nd Diocesan Lay Formation Conference

TAGAYTAY CITY, CAVITE (October 18-19) โ€” The 2nd Diocesan Lay Formation Conference was held at CBCP Caritas Philippines Development Center, Bgy. Asisan, Tagaytay City on October 18-29, 2024.  The two-day conference, organized by the Diocesan Lay Formation Office (DLFO) in partnership with the Diocese of Imus Biblical Apostolate (DIBA), themed as Prayer and Discernment, was able to assemble 103 participants from the lay formation teams of different parishes in Cavite.

At exactly 4:00 in the afternoon, the conference commenced with the Bible enthronement through a pilgrim dance performed by the DIBA team. According to Bro. Julius Conjurado of DLFO, this conference aims to deepen the formation well-being of the laity of the Diocese of Imus.  It is also a crucial preparation for the upcoming diocesan synod to be held in 2026.

Ms. AC Nuestro, the DLFO coordinator, spoke in the first session about prayer and discernment. She gave emphasis on โ€œLayo, Lawak, at Lalimโ€ when it comes to the formation needs of communities. The participants were given a chance after dinner to bond together per vicariate to reflect about their buhay-lingkod, to share some crossroads they have encountered, and to speak about the fruits of those experiences.

The second day of the conference began with a Holy Mass at 6:00 am, presided by Rev. Fr. Reinier Dumaop, the priest animator of DLFO. He was also the speaker of session 2 where he focused on the Scriptures and pastoral activity, relating it to two paragraphs in the Vatican document Verbum Domini.  One paragraph is centered on pastoral mission and the other is about the laity.

Later during the day, the vicariate lay formation teams once again gathered to nominate two of their teammates that best exhibit ELFO โ€“ Envisioned Lay Formation Outcomes. Henceforth, vicariate coordinators were selected before the conference ended.  They are tasked to initiate meetings with the parishes within their care to help out with their formation needs. 

Bro. Rudy Francisco of DIBA presented how DIBA gave birth to the module of Pagpapakilala sa Bibliya.  A copy of which was distributed to each parish representative. (Maria Cristina V. Santos, DOI-SocCom)

As we approach the year 2033, the 2000th year of our redemption through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the descent of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, the Global 2033 was launched by the organizers of the Philippine Conference on New Evangelization, in collaboration with the Sangguniang Layko ng Pilipinas, to unite a coalition of Christian, Gospel-centered, global movement to a shared and collective vision that all people should have an opportunity to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. With the aim to make the next ten years the greatest decade of Great Commission effort in history, Global 2033 movement began with the Leaders' Summit 2024 Philippines. The summit occurred last September 19-21, 2024 at The Lordโ€™s Flock Heritage Building in Quezon City.

The event was participated by leaders from ecclesial communities, ministries, movements, Dioceses, denominational and educational contexts invited. Among the participants were delegates from the Diocese of Imus namely, Samuel Hervinne Monzon from the Ministri sa Kabataan and Suzette Medina from the Diocesan Ministry on Catechesis (DMC).

The three-day summit explored where the Holy Spirit has already been at work in the Philippines and Asia through communities represented being provided an opportunity to share. There were also moments of prayer, strategic planning, and the exchange of innovative approaches and tools to advance the Churchโ€™s mission.

We continue to pray for the realization of the global mission to equip and mobilize 133 million Catholics to become Missionary Disciples all over the world.

Last September 22, Our Lady of the Pillar Seminary held its First Parents' Recollection for the formation year, bringing together families in a day centered on prayer and reflection. The event offered parents a chance to deepen their spiritual connection and support their sonsโ€™ vocational journey through shared moments of prayer and breakout session.

The recollection was a meaningful time for parents to unite their hearts in prayer, seeking Godโ€™s guidance and grace for their families and the seminary community. As the formation year continues, the seminary remains grateful for the unwavering support and prayers of the parents. (Rev. Fr. Michael Ceazar C. Dela Cruz)

LUNGSOD NG BACOOR, CAVITE (Setyembre 21) โ€” Pinangunahan ng Diyosesis ng Imus sa unang pagkakataon ang paglulunsad ng pagdiriwang ng National Laity Week 2024 noong ika-21 ng Setyembre sa auditorium ng St. Michael's Institute sa Lungsod ng Bacoor, Cavite.

Tangan ang paksang "Laity United in Prayer as Pilgrims of Hope," nakiisa ang mga kinatawan ng iba't-ibang lay associations at councils of the laity, sa pangunguna ng Sangguniang Laiko ng Pilipinas (LAIKO).

Tampok sa programa ang pagbabalik-tanaw sa kasaysayan ng Simbahan sa Cavite ni Fr. Virgilio Mendoza, rektor at kura paroko ng Diocesan Shrine of St. Augustine and Parish of Sta. Cruz sa Tanza. Nagbigay rin ng kani-kanilang mensahe sina Bro. Xavier Padilla, pangulo ng LAIKO, at Bro. Danilo Billedo, coordinator ng Diocesan Council of the Laity of Imus at kasapi ng LAIKO board of trustees.

Nagbahagi naman ang obispo ng Imus, Lubhang Kagalang-galang Reynaldo Evangelista, ng kanyang pagninilay sa isang talk ukol sa kahalagahan ng sama-samang panalangin. Nagsalita rin si Atty. Girlie Noche, pangulo ng Alliance for Family Foundation Inc., ukol sa usapin ng divorce at sa pagsulong ng kampanya ng Simbahan laban dito, at si Fr. Miguel Concepcion III, priest animator ng Ministri sa Kalikasan ng Diyosesis ng Imus, ukol sa pagtugon ng ating mga Kapanalig sa mga suliranin sa kalikasan.

Naunang nagsimula ang pagtitipon sa tradisyonal na Karakol bilang parangal sa Mahal na Birhen del Pilar, ang patrona ng Diyosesis ng Imus. Sinundan ito ng Banal na Misa sa St. Michael the Archangel Parish sa Bacoor na pinangunahan ni Bishop Evangelista at mga kasamang pari.

Nagkaroon din ng kani-kanilang gawain para sa pagbubukas ng National Laity Week ang iba pang mga arkidiyosesis at diyosesis sa Pilipinas. Kabilang dito ang pagtitipon ng mga council of the laity, prayer rally, motorcade, webinar sa paksang "Common Care of our Common Home," at formation drive laban sa divorce.

Ipinagdiriwang ang National Laity Week tuwing huling linggo ng Setyembre bilang pagkilala ng Simbahan sa mahalagang gampanin ng ating mga Kapanalig na layko upang magbigay-buhay sa mga parokya at mga nasasakupan nitong pamayanan.

Gaganapin ang pagtatapos ng National Laity Week sa Sabado, ika-28 ng Setyembre, kasabay ng Regional Lay Leaders Conference, sa arsobispado ng San Fernando, Pampanga. Naitaon ito sa araw ng kapistahan ng unang santong Pilipino na si San Lorenzo Ruiz. (Mark Anthony B. Gubagaras, Rusty M. Recentes at Binea Jeverly C. Antang, Diocese of Imus SOCCOM)

Salamin, Salamin: Reflecting God's Love sa amin by Binibiyayaang Kabataan 

A Glimpse into KABISIG 2024

On August 26, 2024, the Diocese of Imus, organized by the Diocesan Youth Ministry (DYM), hosted the highly anticipated KABISIG 2024 Youth Festival at Ugnayang La Salle, De La Salle University - Dasmariรฑas. The event, themed "Salamin, Salamin: Reflecting God's Love sa amin by Binibiyayaang Kabataan," gathered youth from across the diocese to celebrate their faith and reflect on 1 Corinthians 16:14, "Let all that you do be done in love."

The festival began with a Holy Mass presided by Most Rev. Reynaldo G. Evangelista, D.D. In Bishop Reyโ€™s homily, he emphasized being called, blessed, and sent, highlighting that God continuously invites and blesses the youth, urging them to embrace their roles as messengers of His love.

Following the Mass, the program featured a showcase of talents by the Binibiyayaang Kabataan, a series of talks, and interactive activities. The first talk, "Kwento ng Pag-ibig ng Diyosโ€”Kwento ng Pagtugon," was led by Mr. Andrew Napoleon L. Velasquez and co-hosted by Sister Lischiel Fernandez. This talk focused on responding to God's call driven by love rather than material gain. Mr. Drew shared his experience in decades of service, demonstrating how the love of God guides him through challenges and affirms his vocation.

The second talk, "Huwag muna tayong umuwiโ€”Kwento ng Pananatiliโ€ featured Sister James Montablan, Tito Rommel, and Tita Eugene. They discussed perseverance in faith and constant love of God despite personal doubts and rejections. Their message highlighted the importance of prayer, patience, and trust in Godโ€™s plan, encouraging the youth to embody God's love in their lives.

The third talk, "Magkayakap tungo sa ating pangarapโ€”Kwento ng Pamumunga," was presented by Coach Jeronimo Perez and co-hosted by Rev. Fr. Ross Layugan, DYM Priest Animator. Coach Mimo and Fr. Ross shared how embracing God's call leads to personal and spiritual growth, reflecting God's love through oneโ€™s actions and service.

The event concluded with Fr. Ross announcing the Gawad Kabitenyong Kabataan award which will be awarded annually, recognizing the significant contributions of youth to the ministry. The 2024 honourees included Jerome Gumanit, Niรฑa Isabelle Villanueva, John Christian Silva, Marianne Therese Siapo, Sister Lorily Felicidad (USAHJ), John Isaac Geradilla, Jon Agustin Lazaro, Sister Lieschiel Hernandez (USAHJ), George Nicholai Fernandez, Ma. Ciara Policarpio, and Samuel Hervinne Monzon, DYM Coordinator.

KABISIG 2024 was a success, celebrating Godโ€™s love among the youth in the Diocese of Imus and reflecting a strong sense of faith  among all participants.

National Catechetical Month 2024, ipinagdiwang

National Catechetical Month 2024, ipinagdiwang

National Catechetical Month 2024, ipinagdiwang ng mga katekista ng Cavite

SILANG, CAVITE โ€“ Ipinagdiwang ng mahigit 1,300 katekista sa buong lalawigan ng Cavite ang National Catechetical Month 2024 noong ika-13 ng Setyembre sa Divine Mercy Parish, Biluso, Silang.

Ang tema para sa taong ito para sa lahat ng Pilipinong katekista ay โ€œPraying Catechists: Pilgrims of Hope in Synodality towards the Implementation of Antiquum Ministerium.โ€

Malugod na pagbati ni Fr. Eric Orcullo, Kura Paroko ng Divine Mercy, ang sumalubong sa mga katekista ng buong diyosesis. Pagkatapos ng Banal na Rosaryo, Divine Mercy Chaplet at panalangin pambungad ng worship committee, nagsimula ang Banal na Misa Conselebrada na pinangunahan ni Most Rev. Reynaldo G. Evangelista, D.D. kasama si Fr. Gilbert Villas, ang priest animator ng ministri sa katekesis, at iba pang mga pari.

Sa kanyang homilya, ipinaalala ni Bishop Rey sa mga katekista na ipagdasal ang isaโ€™t isa.  โ€œLet us pray for one other. Oremus pro invicem.โ€  Idinadagdag pa ng butihing obispo, โ€œMalaki ang nagagawa ng panalangin ng taong matuwid.  Palaging dinidinig ng Diyos ang lahat ng ating panalangin, totoo yan, kahit tayo ay minsan masungit.  Kung dinidinig ng Diyos ang panalangin ng bawat isa, lalo pa na dinidinig ng Diyos ang panalangin ng taong matuwid, hindi masama ang ugaliโ€ฆthe power of the goodness of the person in prayer.โ€

Ayon pa kay Bishop Rey, idineklara ni Papa Francisco ang Year of Prayer ngayong taon 2024 bilang paghahanda sa darating na Year of Jubilee 2025.  Ito ay upang mas paigtingin pa nating mga katekista ang ating buhay-panalangin.  

Sa pagtatapos ng Banal na Misa, nagpasalamat si Fr. Gil Villas sa mga pari na patuloy na sumusuporta sa ministry, gayon din sa DMC staff sa kanilang pagpapagod para sa okasyong ito.

Nagbigay ng talk si Fr. Glenn dela Peรฑa, ang priest collaborator ng ministri sa katekesis tungkol sa tema ng catechetical month.  Binanggit ni Fr. Glenn na ang katekista ay hindi lamang sa mga sakramento nakatuon, bagkus ay binibigyan din ng panahon ang pagsasagawa ng katekesis para sa mga kasapi ng ibaโ€™t ibang ministri, komunidad at lay associations. Inugnay din nya ang kahalagahan ng sinodalidad sa gawain ng katekista.  Kalakbay ang kapwa sa ibaโ€™t ibang istado ng buhay, ibaโ€™t ibang komunidad, hindi lamang ang matagal ng magkakasama, magkakaibigan, magkukumare.  Hinamon nya ang mga katekista na basahin ng buong-buo ang isinulat ni Papa Franciso na Antiquum Ministerium.

Nagkaroon din ng pagkakataon marinig ang update mula sa dalawang dumalo sa Annual Meeting of Catechetical Ministers 2024 sa Jaro, Iloilo na ginanap noong Setyembre 9 - 12.  Ayon sa kanila, sa pagpupulong na ito binigyan diin din ang mensahe ng Santo Papa sa Antiquum Ministerium at ang halaga ng pagkakaroon ng instituted catechists.

Sa huling bahagi ng catechetical celebration, pinagkalooban ng pagkilala o award ang mga 10, 20, 30 at 40 taon na sa pagmimisyon bilang katekista sa diyosesis. Plaque ang natanggap ng mga 40 years na sa pagiging katekista. Nagkaroon din ng tig-isang presentation ang episcopal district ng St. Luke at St. John, bilang intermission numbers.

Natapos ang pagdiriwang sa closing remarks at final blessing ni Fr. Gil Villas.

๐——๐—”๐—ฆ๐— ๐—”๐—ฅ๐—œร‘๐—”๐—ฆ, ๐—–๐—”๐—ฉ๐—œ๐—ง๐—˜ โ€”Nagsama-samang muli ang mga social communications minister sa buong Diyosesis ng Imus para sa ikatlong quarterly kumustahan ng Ministri sa Panlipunang Komunikasyon noong ika-24 ng Agosto sa St. Paul Parish sa Langkaan, Dasmariรฑas City.

Dumalo ang mahigit 100 SOCCOM workers mula sa iba't-ibang parokya sa Cavite upang magnilay sa paksang "Artificial Intelligence and the Wisdom of the Heart: Towards a Fully Human Communication," na siya ring tema ng ika-58 World Communications Sunday na ipinagdiwang ng Simbahan noong Mayo.

Tampok sa pagtitipon ang talk ni Fr. Norman Melchor Peรฑa Jr., SSP, isang social communications scholar at kasalukuyang rector at dean of studies ng St. Paul Seminary sa Lalaan 1st, Silang.

Sinabi ni Fr. Peรฑa na sa halip na magbigay-tuon sa mga midyum ng komunikasyon at paggamit ng artificial intelligence o AI at iba pang teknolohiya, mahalagang gamitin ang "wisdom of the heart" na kaloob ng Espiritu Santo sa paglalahad ng Salita ng Diyos at mga karanasan ng mga tao sa pinakamabisang paraan upang magsilbing inspirasyon sa iba.

"Kayo ba ay SOCCOM dahil sa paggamit ng makabagong teknolohiya sa komunikasyon? O dahil sa ang pananaw natin ay bago ukol sa kung paano magpakatao sa panahon natin ngayon?" tanong ni Fr. Peรฑa.

Ibinahagi rin ni Fr. Peรฑa sa wikang Italyano ang "Manifesto of Non-Hostile Communication" ng nonprofit group na Parole O_Stili, na naglalaman ng 10 prinsipyo ng tamang asal at gawi upang mapanatiling maayos at bukas ang internet para sa lahat ng gumagamit nito.

Nagkaroon ng pagkakataon ang mga SOCCOM minister na mas palalimin ang pagkaunawa sa manifesto sa pamamagitan ng isang workshop kung saan iniugnay nila ang mga bawat puntos ng manifesto gamit ang mga balitang kanilang binasa at pinag-aralan mula sa mga pahayagan o dyaryo.

Bukod sa talk ni Fr. Peรฑa, opisyal na ipinakilala sa mga dumalo ang bagong website ng Diyosesis ng Imus kung saan gumaganap ang MPK-SOCCOM bilang tagapamahala nito. Ipinaliwanag sa kanila ang ilang panuntunan sa pag-submit ng mga balita at larawan ukol sa mga mahahalagang pangyayari sa kani-kanilang mga parokya, bikaryato at episcopal district.

Nagkaroon din ng updating ang mga SOCCOM minister ukol sa mga naging proyekto at gawain ng MPK-SOCCOM sa loob at labas ng Diyosesis, kabilang ang pagdalo sa National Catholic Social Communications Conference noong Agosto 5-8 sa Lipa City, Batangas, gayundin sa mga gagawing coverage ng mga pagtitipon sa Diyosesis sa mga susunod na buwan.

Gaganapin ang ikaapat at huling quarterly kumustahan ng MPK-SOCCOM para sa taong ito sa ika-16 ng Nobyembre sa Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Our Lady of Fatima sa Binakayan, Kawit.

Diyosesis ng Imus Seminar sa Paghuhubog: Pagpapakilala sa Biblia, naganap!

Diyosesis ng Imus Seminar sa Paghuhubog: Pagpapakilala sa Biblia, naganap!

by Ma. Cristina V. Santos

Published at: 2024-09-01 16:47:09

Ginanap noong Agosto 30 at 31 ang ikalawang baytang ng Fundamentals of Lay Formation ng Diyosesis ng Imus na pinamagatang โ€œPagpapakilala sa Bibliaโ€ sa St. Paul Parish, Langkaan, Dasmariรฑas, City. Ito ay seminar ng paghuhubog na isinakatuparan ng Diocese of Imus Biblical Apostolate (DIBA) katuwang ang Diocesan Lay Formation Team (DLFT) patungkol sa Banal na Kasulatan, na dinaluhan ng parish lay formators ng Episcopal District of St. Luke. 

Nagsipagtapos ang 40 parish attendees mula sa naturang distrito, na silang inaasahang magbababa ng tema na ito sa lahat ng mga lingkod-simbahan sa kani-kanilang parokya.  

Ang module na ito, โ€œPagpapakilala sa Bibliaโ€ ay ang kasunod ng naunang module, โ€œPahayagโ€ na kasama sa tatlong Fundamentals of Formation na isinusulong ng ating diyosesis.  Ang pangatlo ay โ€œBasic Catechesisโ€ na maaring ilunsad sa Marso 2025. 

Ayon kay Bb. AC Nuestro, ang DLFT Coordinator, โ€œIto pong tatlo kaya sinabi siyang fundamentals, the goal is all of our lingkod-simbahan ay nakadaan sa Pahayag, Introduction to Sacred Scriptures and Basic Catechesis.โ€

Narito ang panayam na isinagawa ni Tina Santos kay Dra. Marita Guevarra, ang DIBA Lay Coordinator.

Sa inyong palagay, bakit naisip ng Diyosesis na gawing ikalawang tema ang "Pagpapakilala sa Biblia" sa Fundamentals of Lay Formation?

โ€œI will only assume because I was not part of the formation team that conceived of this trilogy. At any rate, since this is in relation to the fundamentals of pastoral integration, our Diocese thought of a way to give basic knowledge on how to be a church worker (by realizing our individual charisms); after which, every church worker regardless of his/her charism should have a knowledge of the basic tenets of his/her faith- and this may be found in the of Word of God. We should realize that the Catholic faith stands on 3 legs: Word of God (Scripture), Sacred Tradition, teaching authority of the Magisterium (Pope and Bishops). Top most is the Holy Scripture from which most if not all of church traditions may be found and all the teachings of the magisterium are based. Therefore, all faithfuls should have a basic knowledge of the Scriptures before learning the church teachings (Catechesis) since this is also bible based.โ€

Sa ginawang unang Episcopal District formation ngayon, ano ang nakita po ninyong pagtugon (response) ng mga dumalo?

โ€œI havenโ€™t read the evaluation papers at this moment, but it looks like we were able to trigger interest in learning more about the Bible among the participants. Actually this is our third seminar. The first two are vicarial only and we had a very good response from the audience.โ€

Sa pamamagitan ng tamang balanse, magiging mas epektibo ang paglilingkod ng mga pari at mapananatili ang kanilang sigla at inspirasyon upang patuloy na maglingkod sa sambayanan nang may malasakit at pagmamahal.

Isa rin sa mga naging mahalagang punto ng retreat ang pagiging empowered ng kaparian sa ilalim ng DEP framework, na kinabibilangan ng: Disposition o bukas na kalooban upang tanggapin ang patnubay ng Diyos; Experience o Encounter, ang masiglang pakikipagtagpo kay Hesus at pagdanas ng Kanyang presensiya sa pang-araw-araw na buhay; at Process o ang patuloy na proseso ng paglago sa pananampalataya at pagsasabuhay ng bokasyon.

Sa pagtanggap at pagsasabuhay ng DEP Framework, lalong mapalalalim ang paglilingkod ng ating kaparian at magiging instrumento ng pagmamahal at biyaya ng Diyos sa mga komunidad na kanilang pinaglilingkuran.

Bagamat natapos na ang Annual Retreat ng ating kaparian, hinihikayat tayong patuloy silang isama sa ating mga panalangin. Nawa, sa pamamagitan ng ating mga pari, tayong lahat ay tumugon din sa tawag ng kabanalan at gawing huwaran ang kanilang pagsunod sa kalooban ng Diyos.

Kumustahan with Imus Seminarians

by Vocation Ministry

Published at: 2024-08-18 00:55:04

On August 13, 2024, Tuesday, the Priest-Animator, Rev. Fr. Romel Lagata and the Lay-Coordinator of the Diocese of Imus Vocation Ministry, Bro. Domz Alarcon made a visit to the seminarians of the Diocese of Imus in San Carlos Seminary and in Our Lady of Guadalupe Minor Seminary. The rector of Our Lady of Guadalupe Minor Seminary, Rev. Fr. Jaime Marquez, received Fr. Romel and Bro. Domz with a warm welcome. 

The purpose of the visit was to meet the seminarians of the diocese undergoing formation in the said seminaries and to let them feel that the diocese gladly supports their decision to positively respond to the call to priesthood. There is one seminarian in the discipleship stage at San Carlos Seminary and nine seminarians in the propaedeutic stage at Our Lady of Guadalupe Minor Seminary. This significant encounter will serve as the start of a stronger and more consistent bond with the seminarians of Imus staying outside the diocese with the Vocation Ministry and the good bishop, Most Rev. Reynaldo Evangelista.
