Imma Con's day

Last December 8, the whole world celebrated the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. In line with the celebration, we, the parishioners and devotees of the Immaculate Conception of Guagua celebrated our town fiesta. This feast was made very special in honor of the our Patroness and Mother. As parishoners and devotees we attended the Holy Masses from 4 in the morning until 6 in the evening. Lots of priests celebrated and concelebrated in the masses and Archbishop Paciano Aniceto, D.D. celebrated his Mass at 8:00am. The other Auxilliary Bishops of our Archdiocese also celebrated the Holy Mass, at 7:00 am Bishop Roberto celebrated the Mass and at 6:00 pm Bishop Pablo was he one who celebrated the Holy Mass.

The members, officers and seminarians of the organization attended some of the masses and at around 7:30 pm we attended the grand Procession of our Lady's Immaculate Conception with other patrons of each barrios.

Welcome!

We are glad to welcome all of you in our organization, "The Knights of the Blessed Sacrament" here in the Parish of the Immaculate Conception, Guagua, Pampanga.

We are a religious organization under the care of our lay Apostolate director, Bro. Roy M. Songco, the former President of the Parish Pastoral Council and the principal of Guagua National Colleges. Our ministry is to serve the Lord and His Church in our Parish and to promote more vocations to the religious life as we say, "Ad majorem Dei gloriam." or "For the Greater Glory of God." This motto was taken from the founder of the Society of Jesus or the Jesuit priests and brothers, St. Ignatius of Loyola.

Come and be one of us!
