Consecrating our Hearts to Mary

The parishioners of San Roque Parish, Malabog celebrated the FEAST OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION last December 8, 2022 beginning with the Holy Mass presided by Fr. Arnold Balaquinto, Parish Priest. The Virgin Mary is the only person with no taint of original sin from the moment she was conceived. During his homily, Fr. Arnold Balaquinto urged the parishioners by saying, “Ipadayon nato ang paghatag og bili sa atong Inahan nga si Santa Maria, pinaagi niini makaangkon usab kita sa grasya nga gibu-bo sa Dios, ngadto Kaniya.”

The Holy Mass was attended by the GKK Servant Leaders and members from the different GKKs of the 12 twelve Zones of San Roque Parish. Everyone joined in praying as they did the Act of Consecration to Mary; submitting oneself to her, asking for her help in living faithfully the Lord’s precepts. The celebration was concluded with the offering of flowers to the Blessed Mother.

After the Holy Mass, the parishioners shared their joy over cups of coffee, and satisfying snacks. They went home with a full heart, striving to stay away from sins just like our Holy Mother.

To God be the Glory!
