Family Weekend in San Pablo, Laguna

From the north to the south ... next stop of the Family Weekend Actviity was at the picturesque town of San Pablo Laguna in the lovely parish of the Holy Family. Mommy Salonga, the ever active head of the FRC unit, gracefully arrange everything to perfection.

This time, we had the opportunity to bring Fr. Roque D'Costa, FRC's Executive Director, and Fr. Devadoss., who gamely shared valuable lessons on family prayer and the rosary.

The kids were given a chance to express their creativity as they interpreted FRC's battlecry: The family that prays together stays together.
A rosary-making activity was held for the moms who were present. With FRC's very own Rachel Bajamonde and Carlos Labiana, the group tediously threaded one bead after another and knotted them with delicate and patient hands. More importantly, they commited to do one rosary each a week and give them to FRC for distribution to communities and families.
The dads, not to be outdone provided the entertment for the activity. Their heart and passion swelled with their voices as they rendered church songs to love song much to everyone's delight.

The best part, however, was the agape... where family spirit, sharing and unity and good food flowed abudantly.
