Holy Mass for the elderly and the sick

Last August 28, 2010, the St. Joseph the Worker Community (SJWC) held the Mass for the Elderly and the Sick. This is a yearly activity, in which we gather the elderly and the sick in our community who could not come for Sunday Mass regularly because of advanced age or ailment. We invite and encourage their family to bring them to the church to receive the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick and to receive Holy Communion.

The objective of course of this event is to provide the elderly and the sick opportunity to come to the Church at least once a year to receive the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick and to receive Holy Communion.

Again, I would like to thank the members of the SJWC who participated in this event. We would like to thank Fr. Nolly C. Buco, JCD, our parish priest for his blessing and support. Our gratitude to Fr. Rhing Malbog, SVD for presiding the Holy Mass and the Anointing of Holy Oil for the elderly and the sick. Fr. Rhing is our former parish priest. Although he was given a new assignment as missionary of the SVD, he still finds time to help in the different communities of our parish during Sundays and activities like this one.

And most of all, we would like to thank our loving and merciful God for giving us once again the opportunity to serve Him.
