Welcome to the New World!

The Book of  Apocalypse or the Revelation tells us about the completion of the new creation, the New Heaven and the New Earth, that has begun by Christ's resurrection.

So we are a New Creation! Let's all rejoice!

The New Year, 2014 ushers the Year of the Laity; God's faithfuls who help the Church in its undertakings - within the parish levels.

New Year, as always, brings new hope, new resolutions, new targets and new goals in one's life.

Our new year started off with a new undertaking for our local church. Our group, the Biblical Apostolate, delivered the Basic Bible Seminar I to around 35 participants last January 18-19, 2014.

It was the first time that our parish, San Andres Apostol, presented the seminar on its own; in previous seminars, another group from another parish did the task.

We were blessed. The Holy Spirit guided us throughout the whole event - from preparation to the actual event.

The Basic Bible Seminar I is an introductory course on the Bible. It aims to deepen and strengthen our Christian faith through prayerful reading and sharing of God's word, and to make the Bible our Book of Life by discovering how it gives meaning to our life and by living God's message contained in the Sacred Scripture.
