To my dear friends in Christ: First of all, I thank God the Father for the gifts of charism for the community and thank the people who are touched by the Holy Spirit. Maybe it is a challenge for us as disciples of Christ to continually preach the gospel of Love, Unity and Service. It is my honor to be a part of this wonderful Filipino community (Joy in the Spirit of the Lord0 where the Holy Spirit is alive and working for the sanctification of the Filipino families. My deepest joy and congratulations, my gratitude to God for this 10th year celebration of celebrating the monthly Filipino mass at St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church in Severna Park, that gives inspiration and hope to every Filipino Christian family and their longing for closer relationship with God through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. God bless you all and MABUHAY!!! Rev. Fr. Jojo Opalda
Dear Friends and Kababayans, May Our Lady of Baclaran thank you all for your support in making our celebration a success. Salamat po sa inyong lahat. GOD BLESS YOU ALL! Rev Fr. Alphonse Olive
Brothers and Sisters in Christ, It is with great joy that I welcome all those attending the 10th anniversary celebration of the monthly Filipino Tagalog Mass held at my parish -- St. John the Evangelist in Severna Park. It is a great honor for St. John to host this monthly third Sunday liturgical celebration for the entire Baltimore Filipino community. I am also very grateful for the ongoing invitation from the Filipino community to personally assist as a deacon at these wonderful liturgical celebrations of Christs deep and abiding love for all of his sons and daughters. It is truly a very special blessing for St. John Parish to have such a faith-filled group of Filipinos worshiping with such love and enthusiasm within their parish walls. I would also like to thank all of the Filipino priests and deacons who have participated in this very beautiful Eucharistic liturgy over the first ten years, and I pray that this most fulfilling gathering involving praise, worship and fellowship may continue at St. John for many more years to come. I rejoice that Gods family on this earth is a very large family including believers from every corner of the earth. My association and involvement with my Filipino brothers and sisters in the Archdiocese of Baltimore and beyond has been a rich and life-changing experience for me an experience I wouldnt trade for anything! God is good all the time!
Amen! Alleluia!
Yours in Christ Jesus, Dean Lopata AFCCPC Spiritual Advisor Deacon, Archdiocese of Baltimore
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Peace and joy to all of you! On behalf of the Joy in the Spirit Prayer Group, welcome to the 10th anniversary of Ang Misa Nang Sambayanan. Peace and thanksgiving to God for blessing us with faithful priests Fr. Rene Mangahas, Father PJ, Father Jojo, Father Literal, and most especially Fr. Olive. They have made the masses for the past ten years possible. We are so grateful to all of them for celebrating the Holy Eucharist in our Native Language (Tagalog) thereby allowing us to observe and practice our faith the Filipino way. We were also able to observe Simbang Gabi (Advent), Pabasa (Lent), and Flores de Mayo, just to mention a few practices that are unique Filipino. Our heartfelt thanks to St. John the Evangelist in Severna Park, Maryland for hosting our Misa ng Sambayanan in this place we come together every third Sunday of the month as one body in the Spirit of Jesus Christ to celebrate the Holy Eucharist followed by fellowship while sharing a pot luck meal; these gatherings have allowed us to minister through love and service. As we continue our journey of faith further, we invite all of you to keep your eyes open Jesus and pray that we will keep ourselves open to the gifts and guidance of the Holy Spirit to make Ang Misa Ng Sambayanan a monthly commitment to God and each other. St. John the Evangelist and all the other saints, pray for us. In Christ, Carmen Sotto
To all our patrons : 10 years ......!!!!!! Wow!! A real milestone granted to us by our Lord Jesus.He is always with us . He had planned all these to happen. What a JOY in our Spirit . All the people that helped us put this monthly Eucharistic celebration are all God -sent. The Joy in the Spirit is so indebted to all of you. By the power of the Holy Spirit , we are naming this event an accomplishment by everyone who faithfully served and attended for the past ten years. Kudos to all of you. Rev Fr. Rene Mangahas is the very sole instrument that sparked the fire which started the Misa ng Sambayan With his "FIAT" the ball rolled . We had babies baptized, weddings, first communicants, confirmation, you name it we are a church. He introduced us to Tagalog Hesuwita Mass songs and met the composers too, met Bishop Gregorio, Monsignor Rotor from the Vatican, MCST sisters especially Sr. Vangie Pabalate. We would also like to thank Fr. PJ Camiring for presiding us after Fr. Rene had to leave to pursue his studies. We thank the Lord always for leading us to Fr. Jojo Opalda who willingly help us in making the Misa ng Samabayanan possible every month through his selfless giving of his time, wisdom and knowledge. Special mention to Deacon Dean Lopata , without him we won't even be able to have a church and he had helped us all the way to get the permission of the now Bishop Mitchell Rozanski. Let us not forget our dear faithful loving man of cloth, Rev Fr, Louis Olive, a Redemptorist, who in every chance he gets has selflessly offered himself to assist us in all our road blocks . He is with us every Sunday in our prayer meetings too. Gracias! We abide by the Holy Spirit for good things happen always! Without Him we are nothing. God bless all of us and hoping to have another 10 years.God-willing Love and Prayers In Jesus through Mary Agnes Nepomuceno
