SJWC Concrete Beam – Just Completed

We have completed the concrete beam of St. Joseph the Worker Church. This was made possible, once again, through the generosity of the Christian community of Robinsons Homes East. Likewise, our gratitude to all the members of St. Joseph the Worker Community, who volunteered and continuously offering their services especially during our liturgical services and other activities in building the St. Joseph the Worker Church.

Presently, we are determining the actual cost of putting up the roof of the church and planning the funding. While we rely mostly on the donations from the churchgoers in our community, we want to look for other sources for funding to expedite the roofing. This is a tall order for us but through the intercession of St. Joseph, the Worker, the patron saint of our community, we believe that God will guide us in providing the roof in our place of worship we call - St. Joseph the Worker Church.

Gift-Giving

During the 9-day Simbang Gabi in St. Joseph the Worker Community, we encouraged the faithful to offer gifts for the indigent members our parish. On the 29th of December 2007, we went to a community known as Galilee (previously part of Sitio Pantay). Around 130 families received gift containing rice, canned goods, milk, coffee and instant noodles. We also distributed around 200 bags containing cookies and candies for the kids. There were singing, dancing and parlor games for both the kids and the grown-ups. We would like to thank Bro. Sergio of Sitio Pantay, Chairwoman Lala and the Christian Community of Galilee for the warm welcome given to us.

Thanks again for the generosity of the Christian Community of Robinsons Homes East who are always responding to our call to be generous every Season of Christmas, the members of SJWC who volunteered for the re-packing and actual gift-giving, and Picker Constructions who provided the vehicle during the event.

Every year, we adopt a community (Sitio) in our parish for the gift-giving. For the past years, we were able to visit Aduas, Pinugay, Sumilang, Pantay, Masikap, Guipit and Maligaya.
