OLLP presents zumba to open fiesta

Though OLLP fiesta activities officially started last February 2, in time for the first day of Novena, the parish has presented zumba as introductory salvo on January 28.

Initiated by Sports Committee Chair Violeta Umbay, the zumba was participated by more than a hundred parishioners led by Alice Acebedo.

Parish priest and Shepherd Father Dexter C. Veloso encourages his Servant Leaders and GKK members to be healthy to do God’s will. “We can only effectively discharge the mission that God entrusted to us when we get serious about maintaining good health,” recalls Fr. Veloso. “We cannot adequately perform service to our respective apostolate, family and job if we are in poor health,” he adds.

Aside from the zumba, the Sports Committee has also scheduled basketball games, fun run and fun walk during the duration of parochial fiesta celebration.

Physical exercise is important since it enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness. Not only as a preventive medicine, but it maintains health at its best. This is one of the reasons why he pushes the creation of Sports Committee and the construction of multi-purpose gym within parish compound. (Vinny G. Bajo)
