The Advent in SJWC

In this season of advent, we are called to patiently wait and prepare ourselves... this virtue of patientlty waiting and preparing became more significant in our community....while building a place of worship we call - St. Joseph the Worker Church.

As we have said it before, it took us awhile to gather enough funds for our trusses. And in God's timing... we started the construction last September 8, 2010 with the signing of the contract. We only have enough funds for the trusses. In fact, it is specifically indicated in the contract that after the completion of the trusses, the contractor will put the temporary roofs we had been using for awhile. It is also stipulated that the contractor will apply a metal primer to protect the trusses for long exposure without the roof panels. This safeguard is necessary because of the limited funds we have....indeed we don't have enough to complete the 4th phase (the complete roofing stage) of the construction.

But the waiting has finally paid off...not only the trusses was now in place but also the roof panels....we have completed the roofing stage... we attribute this thru the intercession of St. Joseph the Worker and our Blessed Mother Mary... This is God's way and timing.... all we need to do.. is to patiently wait and hope....trusting in God's ways and timing....we only hoped for the trusses but He gave us to include the roof panels by opening the hearts of the faithfuls to be generous once again....

And in this advent.. we are preparing the place where our Lord Jesus will dwell... the place we call - St. Joseph the Worker Church.
