24 Hour Rosary for Fr. Peyton's Bday

We are celebrating Fr. Peyton's 101st bday anniversary with a 24 Hour Rosary Prayer for the success of Fr. Peyton's Cause and the Year for Priests. (Remember, we made this a twin activity for Fr. Pat's Centenary) We are hoping that the 9th of Janaury will ring with families, group and individuals praying the rosary with these intentions every hour on the hour: Several have already signed up and we are hoping to complete the cycle soon.

Tribute to Tita Gennie: Kailan Pa Man

The following comes from one of the most active Guilds and a close friend of Tita Gennie. George has wonderful memories of our dear Tita Gen and he composed this poem for her.

KAILAN PA MAN

by George Olympia

FRC Marinduque

Kailan pa man

Ikaw ang aasahan

Kailan pa man

Ikaw ang siyang lakas

Ang tanging tanggulan

Anuman ang dumaan

Ika'y ilaw sa landas

Panatag ka sa puso kong lumbay

Panatag sa kawalang kulay

Ang tanging larawan ng buhay

Katapa't mo sa akin ay di mapapantayan.

Nasan ka?

Bagama't nagkukulang ako

Nasaan ka?

Sa sangang daan kinapapatungan ko

Kailan man

O Diyos!Pag-ibig Mo

Kaluluwa'y ligtas dahil sa Iyo

Kailan man buhay ay iyong inilaan

Upang maligtas ka

Sa aking kapahamakan

Kailan pa man

O Diyos! Kailan pa man
