Friend and Lord Jesus Christ,
How great You are!
With Your words and Works You have revealed to us
Who God is, Your Father and our Father,
and Who You are: our Savior.
You call us to be with You.
We wish to follow You wherever You go.
We thank You for Your Incarnation.
You are the Eternal Son of God,
but You humbled Yourself and became man.
We thank You for Your Death and Resurrection.
You obeyed the Father's will to the extreme
and for this reason You are the Lord of all persons and things.
We thank You for having remained amongst us
in the Eucharist.
Your Presence, Your Sacrifice, Your Banquet
Invite us to remain always united to You.
You Call us to work with You.
We wish to go wherever You send us:
to announce Your name, to heal in Your Name,
to bring all of our brothers to You.
Grant us Your Holy Spirit, to enlighten and strengthen us.
The Virgin Mary, the Mother You gave us on the cross,
always encourages us to do what You say.
You are our Life. May our thoughts,
our love and our actions
always be rooted in You!
You are our Rock. May our faith in You
always be the solid foundation
of our life!
We pray for Pope Benedict XVI,
for the Bishops and for all those who
are preparing the next World Youth Day
in Madrid.
We pray for our family and friends
and especially for
all the young people who will get to know you
in this encounter, thanks to the firm and joyful
testimony of the faith.

MCGC Milestones & Triumphs'
Lots of MCGC members these days are starting to create a name on various fields that they chose to take and thereby giving prestige and pride to the ministry and to the parish as well. One of them is MCGC’s very own Chairman and one of our Associate Editors, Kevin Henry A. Jamisola. Kevin as fondly called by his fellow MCGC is currently studying at the University of Perpetual Help System-Laguna as an HRM Student.
As one of his exposures in the said course, he participated in the recently concluded Bottlegrounds 2K11, a flairbartending competition organized by T.G.I Friday’s Mall of Asia and Asia Brewery. In the said event, he emerged 2nd place beating the other participants mostly from prestigious universities and established bars in Metro Manila and nearby provinces. In the same event, he also got the Pour Master Award, one of the special awards that were given to the contestants.
We are proud of you Kevin! Keep it up!

7 TAON NA PO KAMI
The MCGC today is actually a spin-off of the former Parish Youth Ministry (PYM). Sometime in year 2003, the PYM started to create various youth groups with them as the lead coordinating ministry to handle specific areas of apostolic service of youth under its former head, Dingdong Baban (the Founding Chair of MCGC)
MCGC started with the 9 a.m. Sunday Mass only since the Anticipated Mass during Saturdays was used to be assigned to Catholic Women’s League (CWL) while the 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. masses during Sundays were used to be assigned to members of Cursilistas, Legion of Mary (LOM) and Mother Butler Guild (MBG).
When the time came that the group was given the mandate then to serve as a formal and recognized member of the Celebration Ministry thru the spiritual guidance then of former parish priest, Rev. Fr. Rex Delos Angeles. , the collectors from the other Masses were absorbed as full time members already except with that of from the Legion of Mary. The very first members of the MCGC then were actually from the Lingkod Parokya volunteers of Sta. Catalina College and Canossa Academy. It is worth mentioning also that those students from Sta. Catalina College who underwent the Lingkod Parokya Program last 2005-2006 school year decided to stay with MCGC as regular members of the ministry. Thru the grace and blessing of the good Lord, the ministry now grew to more than 150 members servicing all the masses in the Parish church and the two (2) chapels.
