Celebrating 500 YOC and beyond 


Jubilee Year 

The year 2021 is marked as the Quincentennial Anniversary of Christianity in the Philippines. As part of the activities to commemorate this special event, Jubilee churches have been listed and designated as pilgrimage sites for the faithful.

💖What is a pilgrimage? 

A pilgrimage is a spiritual journey to encounter God and prayerfully, we hope to come back to our daily lives renewed, refreshed and more committed to love and serve Him through others.


💖Did you know?

Plenary indulgences may be obtained by pilgrims upon visiting any one of the Jubilee churches as decreed by Pope Francis.

💖What is a plenary indulgence?
An indulgence that can remove temporal punishments that are still due to sins even after absolution.

💖How to obtain plenary indulgence?
Aside from visiting any one of the Jubilee churches, three (3) external conditions must be applied:

  • Confession
  • Communion
  • Prayer for the Intentions of the Holy Father

💖Things to bring

We were actually planning for this for months but the pandemic surge plus the health & safety protocols just made it impossible for us to push through. 


As I write this, however, NCR is already under a more relaxed level 1 restrictions. So we were able to go one fine day (Feb. 25, 2022) for this much awaited pilgrimage💗😊


If you and your friends are planning to go, now is the perfect time! Just remember to bring the ff:

  • snacks
  • bottled water
  • fan 
  • extra shirt
  • your pilgrim passport (you may purchase one from any of the Jubilee churches' office)
  • face mask😍😷
💖Final note

Upon fulfilling the pilgrim activities asked by each Jubilee church, you may go to their parish office and have your passport stamped. 



                         "Gifted to give"


Oh, and btw, once you've completed visiting the 14 Jubilee churches, you will be issued a Certificate of Completion. 


Simply present your pilgrims passport to the last Jubilee church that you've visited and request for your certificate. 'Till then, keep safe and have a happy & blessed journey!!! 😍

Things To Do During Your Homestay 2020 #CommunityQuarantineph

As we all know, Metro Manila is under Community Quarantine effective March 15, 2020 until April 14, 2020.

Attend online masses - Please dress properly (not in your PJ's); remember you are having a date with the Lord. You may invite your family members to join you- this is a good opportunity for you to be closer. 2. Read the bible. Meditate. Pray also for others. Do not let fear and anxiety set in.  3. Write that reflection! 😅 As a member of a diocesan formation ministry, we were invited to write our gospel reflections. Those reflections will be compiled and published as a gospel reflections book for 2021. I haven't got the time to do it yet 'coz of other things that needed my attention but now is the time! Truly, God works in mysterio...

Luckily, quarantine restrictions have eased up so we can now travel to nearby provinces. However, always remember to still observe safety protocols, okay? 😉👍 PICK YOUR DESTINATION Bulacan is starting to be known as a must-go place for adventure seekers. Hidden in every barangays are falls, caves, rivers, hills and a lot more. The once sleeping beauty is slowly awakening. And people are noticing! What makes it more appealing is that it's only a few hours away from Manila! 🚘🚗🚐 It's also very interesting to note that due to these pleasant developments, jobs and other income-generating opportunities became available to the locals. Alright, so we chose to go to Tila Pilon hills and maybe to Talon Pari falls later after our hike. Still fresh at 7:00 am 🌞 We departed from Quezon City at 5:00 am and arrived in Tila Pilon at a little p...
