OLLP PREX Batch 15 held despite martial law

Eighteen (18) laypeople of the Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Bangkal have graduated from the Parish Renewal Experience (PREX) seminar held at the parish conference hall last May 26-28, 2017.

Assisted by the PREX elders from The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish in Calinan, it was sponsored by the Batch 14 PREX elders led by its President Ate Mary Jane Jungoy.

“Ing-ani jud diay ang PREX, wala jud ko nagmahay ug mapasalamaton ko nga nakaapil na jud ko,” said one of the participants from San Miguel GKK.

This latest PREX seminar had undergone many postponements since Batch 14 graduated last September 2016 and up until the day of the seminar, it was even threatened with the declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao that impelled the elders to consider necessary security measures.

Kuya Efren Jungoy Jr. was elected as the President for Batch 15, while Kuya Woodrow Catulong, Vice President; Ate Desiree Tolentino, Secretary, and Ate Shiela Mendonez, Treasurer. (Vonz M. Hijada | OLLP SoCCom)
