Ang Kombento
Msgr. Higinio C. Velarde, Jr.
S
a nagligad nga isyu sang
Candlelight, akon ginpaathag
ang kaangtanan sa tunga sang
balay nga gina-estaran sang kura
paroko kag sang iya katungdanan sa
pagtatap sang mga espirituhanon nga
kinahanglanon sang mga parokyano.
Sa sini nga bahin, akon
ginapaambit ang isa ka bagay nga,
ayhan indi gid man dapat hatagan
sing madalom nga pagtamod, pero
tungod kay ini may kaangtanan sa
kabuhi sang mga parokyano sang
parokya sang Katedral sang Jaro,
maayo man siguro nga magpaambit
man ang mga sakop sang parokya
sang Jaro sang ila panghunahona
nahanungod sini.
Ini nga bagay dira napahayag sa
titulo sini nga artikulo: Ang Kombento
Balay sang Pari, Balay sang Parokya.
Ano gid bala ang nagakadapat nga
igatawag naton sa ginapuy-an sang
kura paroko? Kombento? Balay sang
Pari? Ukon Balay sang Parokya?
Daw isa ka diutay nga bagay nga indi
kinahanglan sapakon, pero, sa akon
panan-awan, maayo man kon paagi
sini, akon mapukaw ang interes sang
tagsa ka bumalasa, ilabi na gid, sang
tagsa ka parokyano.
Kon inyo ma-obserbahan,
nahanungod sini, ang Canon n. 533, 1,
ato page 7
nagasiling: Ang kura paroko obligado
sa pagpuyo sa balay sang parokya, nga
malapit sa simbahan sang parokya.
Daw indi gid man gani husto gid ang
paggamit sang dinalan sa Hiligaynon
nga balay sang parokya, tungod kay
sa orihinal nga latin, ang ginagamit
amo ang domo paroeciali nga
ginlubad sa English bilang parochial
house. Wala ginagamit ang tinaga nga
Kombento, wala man ang Puluy-an
sang Pari, kag ang dinalan nga Balay
sang Parokya amo ang pinakamalapit.
Balay sang Pari, Balay sang Parokya

religious and lay faithful participates
in and takes responsibility for, because,
in the first place, they embrace the
Church as their OWN.
It will take months to finish
the construction of our parochial
house. Much amount is needed, so
your generous contribution is most
welcome and deeply appreciated. But
what will make this parochial house
OURS is our recognizing it as our own
and, more importantly, in our greater
participation in our parish.
We can truly become a
participatory Church through
our active participation in the
sacramental life of the Church, in our
lay organizations and ministries, in
our MKK and in our daily witnessing
of the Gospel to others. In this way,
parishioners can become the lay
heroes and saints the bishops call for
us to be in this Year of the Laity.
Let us pray that we may always be
light-bearing and life-giving Christians
that God intends us to be through our
fraternal communion and charity. In
this way, our Church, our parish, is
truly OUR HOME!

The Pastor Speaks... Heartbeats...
Ang Doktrina Sosyal sang Simbahan
S
a sini nga mga panahon, ang
tig-una nga ginakabalak-
an sang Simbahan amo ang
sosyal nga bahin sang kabuhi nga
Kristiano. Tungod sang pagbalhin
kag pagkambio sang moderno nga
ekonomiya kag ang bag-o nga mga
sitwasyon sa patag sang trabaho
nga nangin bunga sang sini nga
pagkambyo, nagtubo kag nag-
uswag man ang doktrina sosyal
sang Simbahan.
Ang kabalaka sang Simbahan sa
kalibutanon nga mga butang indi
pangpolitika ukon pang-ekonomiya
ukon pangteknolohiya, tungod kay
ang iya misyon pangrelihiyoso kag
pang-moralidad. Ang iya ginatinguha
nga matigayon amo ang pagpabakod
sang mga espirituhanon kag moral
nga sadsaran sang sosyedad.
Diri sa aton sa Pilipinas, ang
Ikaduha nga Konsilyo Plenaryo
naghatag sing konkreto nga mga
pagtulon-an nahanungod sini, ilabi
na gid sa patag sang politika kag sa
patag-sosyal.
A
house is not a home, an old
song goes. So what makes a
house a home? Its love, if we
listen closely to the lyrics of the song.
But beyond love, it is truly responsibility,
caring for and maintaining unity and
peace in the house that makes it a home.
In other words, we need to OWN it, not
just as a boardinghouse, a lodging place
or rented apartment but a HOME that
we call our OWN. For a home is not just
a roof above our heads but a dwelling
place, where our heart finds comfort,
yearns for and returns to. Thats why we
often say, Theres no place like home.
The construction project for our
parochial house (or popularly known
as convent) is therefore not just about
construction, per se. It is building a
home for the whole parish. True, it will
be a residence of our pastors tasked to
take care of our spiritual and pastoral
needs. But it will also be where our
administrative and pastoral offices are
to be located.
But isnt this parochial house
OWNED by the priests who reside in
it? This is actually a myth since pastors
constantly move from one parish to
Sa patag-politika, ang Konsilyo
nagasiling nga ang awtoridad politikal
may iya kaugalingon nga awtonomiya
sa pagpatigayon sang kaayohan sang
komunidad, lamang nga ini ginagamit
suno sa kondisyon nga ginahatag
sang orden moral. Sa malip-ot nga
pulong, samtang nga ang Simbahan
wala nagapahilabot sa politika, ang
mga pastor kag kaparian may ila
nga kinamatarong kag katungdanan
nahanungod sa moralidad sang mga
buluhaton pangpolitika, samtang
ang mga laiko may ila man nga
kinamatarong kag katungdanan sa
aktibo kag direkta nga partisipasyon
sa politika. Subong man, ang
kaparian kag laiko, may ila gid nga
katungdanan sa pagpasilabot sa
politika kon napahamtang sa peligro
ang mga values sang Ebanghelyo kag
sang moralidad.
Sa patag-sosyal naman, maathag
katama ang sitwasyon pang-sosyal
kag pang-ekonomiya diri sa aton
pungsod. Lakip sa mga problema sang
aton sosyedad amo ang nagadaku nga
antad sa tunga sang manggaranon
kag sang imol, ang kadamuon sang
mga wala sing trabaho, ang problema
sang kakulang sing pagkaon, ang
gutom, kag ang paglapas sang
tawohanon nga kinamatarong. Ang
ordinaryo nga Pilipino may iya nga
sabat sa sini nga mga panghangkat
nahanungod sa pagkilala sang iya
responsibilidad sosyal bilang disipulo
ni Jesukristo. Ini nga panghangkat
nagadala sa iya sa maathag nga panan-
awan nahanungod sa iya tawohanon
nga kinamatarong sa patag sang
ekonomiya, halimbawa, ang
kinamatarong sa pagtrabaho, sa husto
nga sweldo, kag sa pagkabutang;
sa patag sang politika, halimbawa,
ang kinamatarong sa pagboto, sa
pagka-alalangay sa atubangan sang
kasugoan, sa pagsaylo sing estado,
kag kinamatarong pang-kultura
kag relihiyosa.
Kag diri nagtuhaw ang bag-o
nga ideya nga amo ang sal sosyal.
Akon ini padayunon nga ipaathag sa
masunod nga isyu sang Candlelight.
Owning
another. But how can parishioners
OWN it when they most rarely visit
it? True. But the parochial house
is not only the priests residence or
an office but a gathering place for
organizational and prayer meetings,
formation seminars, and seminar
workshops. It is also the birthplace of
every Candle Light issue.
The Gospel this Sunday strikes
a familiar cord. It narrates how
Jesus feeds 5,000 men, not including
women and children, through the
multiplication of loaves of bread and
fish. Although what immediately
catches our attention is Jesus
miraculous power, it also reveals
that He owned the responsibility to
respond to the needs of the multitude.
Others suggest that the multiplication
miracle was an act of sharing among
the people themselves. From this
perspective one can deduce that the
people OWNED the responsibility to
feed and take care of one another as
brothers and sisters.
The Church today is often
described as a participatory Church.
It is a Church where everyone - clergy,

Orientation Seminar for Weekend Catechesis
Lalaine D. Pasquin
An half-day Orientation Seminar for Weekend Catechesis was held last July 13,
2014, at the La Isabelita Hall, Jaro Cathedral Compound. Participants were also energized
through action and praise songs which contributed to making the activity more
enthusiastic and inspiring, making them more committed to their mission in catechizing
the children.
Mr. Antonio Pasquin, Parish Education Animator, explained the purpose of the
Week-end Catechesis and its guidelines, which are as follows: 1. There should not be more
than ten children per catechist, per session; 2) Children should be 7 to 12 years old; 3) The
whole session should not be more than 45 minutes; 4) Session should be held only in one
of the houses of the neighborhood, and with enough space (a sala, garage, etc) for ten
children; 5) Make a list of names with birthdays, baptismal, confirmation, etc. of parents,
brothers and sisters, or other siblings in the family that could be of use in teaching them to
make cards for special occasions with quotation from Scriptures; 6) Use occasions and
special religious events to teach the children to make cards for special occasions, for the
members of their family, like valentines, mothers and fathers day, & All Saints Day; 7)
The session follows the Basic Order to deepen the knowledge of the children, but it can be
postponed in the event of a significant occasion or event, like for example, Feast days.
The number of volunteer catechists increased. They were assigned to other
barangays or sitios that were without childrens catechesis. This is the Schedule of

Ang ikaduha, mga
kauturan, amo ang Iya di
matungkad nga kaluoy sa
katawhan. Sa dako nga kaluoy
kag pagkabalaka, gin-ayo ni
Jesukristo ang mga masakiton
nga nagsunod sa Iya nga may
paghinulsol. Isa man ini ka
panghangkat sa aton nga kon
kita maghinulsol sang aton
mga kasal-anan, ang aton
Dios nga yara sa mga Langit
indi makabatas nga indi Niya
kita pag-ulikdon kag buligan.
Ang ikatlo, mga kauturan,
amo ang Iya di masaysay
nga gugma para sa aton
nga tanan. Ang milagro
sang tinapay kag isda isa
lamang sa mga pamaagi ni
Jesukristo nga mapakita
ang Iya di-masaysay nga
gugma sa aton nga Iya mga
katawhan. Kag isa man ini
ka palaangiran kag sulundan
naton nga ang gugma indi
lamang magpabilin nga isa
ka tinaga, kundi ang gugma
isa ka buhi nga hilikuton
paagi sa pagpaambit sa
isigkatawo. Ang daku nga
milagro nga natabo sa aton
Ebanghelyo subong indi
ang pagdamo sang isda kag
tinapay kundi ang matuod
nga pagtamdanay kag
paghinatagay sang kada isa
kag isa; ang pagpaambit sang
pinakagamay nga yara sa ila,
ukon ang pagkamaalwan sa
pihak sa kapigaduhon.
Kon ang isa kag isa
mangin maalwan lamang,
wala gid sang tawo nga
magutman.

Pamangkot:
1. Nangin sensitibo bala
ako sa nagakahalanabo
sa akon mga utod sa akon
komunidad?
2. Nangin maluluy-on bala
ako sa mga tawo nga naga
kinahanglan sang bulig?
3. San-o ako nagpaambit
nga may matuod nga
gugma sa iban?

Sem. Mark Jason L. Bacalso
kami diri sing pagkaon, kundi
lima gid lang ka bilog nga
tinapay kag duha ka isda.

Nagsiling si Jesus,
Dalha niyo ina diri sa akon.

Ginsugo niya ang mga tawo
nga maglingkod sa hilamon.
Dayon iya ginkuha ang lima
ka bilog nga tinapay kag
duha ka isda, nagtangla sa

Dios. Ginpamihakpihak niya

People, both church and ordinary Mass-goers
,are always honest and expressive about priests
they are appreciative especially when they see
something good in us or they would approach
us in the convent when they are concerned
about us, and there are people who would either
show or channel through us their kindness and
generosity and their simplicity and silence.

Kon amo sini, ano gid ang nagakaigo nga dapat itawag sa
sining gina-estaran sang kura paroko nga amo ang sentro
sang aton proyekto subong?
Sa Amerika, kag ayhan sa iban man nga pungsod nga
nagahambal sa English, kon may isa nga magpamangkot, Diin
ang kombento? (Where is the convent?), ila sia ginatudlo
sa balay nga gina-estaran sang mga madre. Ina tungod kay
sa Amerika, ang ginapuy-an sang kura paroko ginatawag nga
Rectory. Tungod sini, lain iya ang kahulogan sang Convent
(Kombento) kag lain man ang Rectory, kag ining duha wala
sing kaangtanan sa gina-estaran sang kura paroko.
Ang tinaga nga Kombento naghalin sa latin nga
tinaga conventus, nga sa orihinal nga paghangop sini,
ginapatumod sa grupo sang mga Romanhon nga nagatililipon
sa mga probinsya sa katuyuan sang pagdumala kag hustisya.
Sang gintukod ang mga monasteryo kag iban pa nga mga
komunidad nga relihiyosa, ang tinaga nga conventus
ginpatumod sa lugar kon sa diin ini sila nagapuyo bilang
komunidad. Kag gani subong, ang tinaga nga kombento
amo ang puluy-an ukon mga puluy-an sang mga komunidad
nga relihiyosa nga ginakapu-an sang mga babayi kag mga
lalaki. Sa karon nga mga inadlaw, ini nga tinaga gina-aplikar
labi na gid sa mga puluy-an sang mga kongregasyon sang
mga madre.
Pero, ngaa nga ginatawag ang gina-estaran sang kura
paroko nga Rectory sa Amerika kag sa iban pa gid nga mga
lugar? Ina tungod kay ang Rectory amo ang gina-estaran
sang isa ka pari nga may palangakuan bilang Rector sang isa
ka simbahan. Ang Rector amo ang pari nga gintugyanan sang
Obispo sang katungdanan sa pagtatap sang isa ka simbahan
sa isa ka duog kag sang mga tumuluo nga sakop sini nga
simbahan nga pareho man sa katungdanan sang isa ka kura
paroko, bisan pa nga ini nga simbahan indi parokya kag
ini nga pari indi kura paroko. Sa amo sini nga paghangop,
makita naton nga mas malapit ini nga tinaga, ang Rectory, sa
balay-puloy-an sang isa ka kura paroko.
Pero may isa pa gid ka butang nga dapat man naton
dumdumon. Ang balay nga dapat puy-an sang kura paroko
amo ang balay sa diin, suno sa canon 533, may katungdanan
ang kura paroko sa pag-estar ilabi na gid kay ini ara mismo
sa parokya ukon malapit sa parokya. Ang mga opisina sa diin
ginahikot ang tanan nga may kaangtanan sa mga bulohaton
sa parokya lain man sang sa puloy-an sang pari. Ano abi, kon
ang mismo balay nga ginapuy-an sang kura paroko amo man
ang nahamtangan sang nagakalain-lain nga mga opisina sang
parokya? Kag sa plano sang aton proyekto nga inyo makita sa
natalana nga isyu sang Candlelight, amo gid ini ang ginapaabot
nga matigayon. Gani, ano sa inyo? Kombento? Balay sang
Pari? Ukon Balay sang Parokya? (to be continued)

Fond memories at Jaro convent:
Mass and prayer moments at the chapel,
fraternal bonding with brother-priests,
seminarians, lay faithful either in prayer,
at meals or one-on-one; kan-anay tapos
sang 8am Mass with choir, lay ministers
and altar servers, para-liturgy and agape
lunch for old poor widows being served by
ladies of our parish with Maria Dolorosa
when we found Enzo and MM and how we
took turns caring for each of them and
many more.

Retrofitting vs Major Repair
To retrofit a building is to basically strengthen the structural
elements such as beams and pillars, making the building
structurally fit. It may not undo the layout of the space, its basically
faster and less expensive than doing a general repair. Our initial
assessments and plans were geared towards retrofitting but in the
process of planning which included studying our spatial needs and
other living requirements, it became clearer that we needed to do
a major repair.
A major repair is not tantamount to a new construction. A
major repair will construct only what needs to be and retain areas
that can still serve its purpose. It will involve some reconfiguration
of space to best serve existing and future spatial requirements. The
present layout of the convento is a product of evolution basically
made necessary by how the offices as well as parish lifestyle have
also evolved in their function and needs. Thus, the existing layout
though serviceable can seem tentative and confusing. The general
repair hopes to achieve a more rationalized use of space which
will hopefully result into an efficient structure that can respond to
evolving parochial needs.
This is the general direction of the project. In the coming
days, and as the project progresses, details and updates will be
provided.

Lets Do This Together, NOW!
The convent while serving as residence for priests, who serve
the parish, is really our communal home. A convent while giving
the priests in residence their needed privacy, only do so in the
context of them being able to minister well the flock entrusted
to their care. In the end, a well-rested priest, a priest who has
space for study, and more importantly, a priest with a conducive
environment to pray will become more effective pastor for the
flock.
The convent also facilitates the administrative and pastoral
needs of the parish as it houses as well, the parish office as well as
offices for various ministries. The end goal of these offices is for
the welfare of the parishioners. They exist to serve the needs of
the parishioners as well as other devotees.
Thus, this general repair is presented to you not as a distant
endeavor you have nothing to do with, but as our own. As pastors,
it is incumbent on us to exercise initiative and direction however
(but) we are well aware that we are in congruence with you.
Your active help and participation is indispensable! Our parish
conventgeneral repair project then is an endeavor with the
community, by the community and for the community!
Three years after we accomplished the repair of the Jaro
Cathedral, we once again take this task at hand because it is urgent
and because we can do it, NOW!
The estimated cost of the project is 15 million pesos. It is a
big amount. Anything big will always be overwhelming. It does not
mean however that it is not doable. If once more we make this
project our own and share what we can, the repeat of another
miracle of sharing is not far behind.
Together with our efforts, it is of utmost importance that
we pray to God for the fruitfulness of this endeavor! Through
the intercession of Ntra. Sra. de la Candelaria, we embrace this
endeavor trusting and confident!

The convents dining table, one with a Lazy
Susan. One time while Msgr. Gamboa, Fr.
Dodong B. and myself were eating, Fr. Dodong
stood up, got a saucer full of vinegar (sina-
mak), placed it on the Lazy Susan (the rotat-
ing tray), turned it so that the vinegar was
directly under Msgr. Gamboas nose, then in-
nocently and sweetly said, Msgr. share kita.
When I saw this I almost fainted. We never
had vinegar or anything with it on that table,
for Msgr. Gamboa could not stand it, not even
its smell from the kitchen. When this was
offered to him, I was shocked, I didnt know
what to do, and I didnt want to look at Msgr.
Gamboas reaction, and so I just bowed my
head and ate quietly as if I have not seen or
heard anything. Quickly, I finished eating my
breakfast, went to my room, closed the door
and laughed.

solace for solidarity souls whose
rustic ambiance will bring you
to fond memories of home,
family and brotherhood.
With every stomp or squeak
of your feet, your life that is
founded on solitude will also
serve as an experience of a
loving community because you
are given the assurance that
you have your elder brothers
in the ministry who are more
than willing to guide, train
and inspire you by making
you feel that you are always
standing on solid ground.
I do not have to articulate
the details of what I have been
through in this humble abode
but suffice it to say that it was
the best year of my life as a
