Dear Deaco An Vu, Fr Lito and Lisa,

Peace! It was very opportune time when we handed the rice to the beneficiaries of the St Theresa Charities since we have started the lenten season where we are urged to help the poor. The rice distribution started at 10;30 am on February 23 Monday. The old recipients were brought by motorbikes by the chapel church leaders. First we started with a prayer, reading of the bible by Fr Cevas CMF. Then there was exhortation and prayers of the faithful then we prayed together the Our Father. After the prayer the Parish Pastoral Council president gave a pastoral reason for the event. As Parish priest, I introduced the donor of the rice program and urge the people to pray and live in solidarity. We insisted that to share we need not be wealthy but always with a heart full of compassion to each other. Thanks a lot and May God bless us all!

Sincerely,

Fr Cyrus CMF

Dear An Vu,

Greetings of Peace and Joy!

This morning we already distributed the rice to the beneficiaries. We had a mass and after which we distributed the rice. As usual, there are some complaints coming from those who were not chosen and they question why they wre not chosen. We explain to them the predicament of not being able to give to all and I just hope they understand. The next distribution, there may be some changes on the beneficiaries as there are some who are older than those on the list. We really could not please everybody. We are all trying our best to help them the best we can but always we will fall short but nonetheless, we continue helping them. I just hope and pray the project will continue.

Once again, thank you very much and may God bless us all.

Respectfully yours,

Fr. Edgar L. Zamudio, CMF
