As we step into a new year, our parish community gathered in faith and gratitude to place the coming days, months, and intentions into the loving hands of God through the New Year Holy Mass and Eucharistic Adoration.
The parish faithful participated in Eucharistic Adoration, spending quiet moments in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. In the silence of adoration, parishioners offered their personal intentions, families, work, studies, and dreams for the new year, surrendering all to Christ. It was a deeply prayerful time that encouraged reflection, peace, and spiritual renewal.
Following the Holy Adoration, the New Year Mass was a beautiful moment of thanksgiving—thanking God for His constant guidance throughout the past year and seeking His blessings for the year ahead. The liturgy reminded us that every new beginning is an opportunity to renew our trust in the Lord and to walk forward with hope, faith, and love.
The celebration highlighted the importance of beginning the year not merely with resolutions, but with prayer and surrender to God’s will. As Scripture reminds us, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans” (Proverbs 16:3).
Adding to the joy of the celebration, the ICYM youth presented a short and graceful dance performance with crackers bursting, symbolizing joy, thanksgiving, and hope as we welcomed the New Year. Their vibrant participation reflected the enthusiasm of our youth and their willingness to use their talents in praise of God.
As a parish family, we move forward into the New Year united in faith, trusting in God’s guidance. May this year be filled with grace, peace, and renewed commitment to living the Gospel in our daily lives.
Wishing Everyone a Blessed and Grace-Filled New Year.
