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.
