“A Small Distinct Light”
“And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ…” (Ephesians 4: 11-12) It is true that the growth of a parish depends not on the single work of a person but on the collective effort and generosity of all parishioners. It has been five years since the parish of Alitagtag started rebuilding Christ’s body- the Invencion de la Sta. Cruz Parish. According to an inspection made in the previous years, the foundation of the old church of Alitagtag was already weak and therefore this calls for a total reconstruction of the church. In January 2009, the old church was totally destroyed to begin the construction. It is also significant to mention the following priests who served the parish and exerted their best efforts in constructing the new church, Rev. Fr. Ramonsito Manalo, Rev. Fr. Chito Andal and Rev. Fr. Eleuterio Ramos. At present, it is on the process of construction with Rev. Fr. Marcelino Antonio Maralit, Jr. as the parish priest. |
