Gearing up for one’s holy commitment

The Lectors, Commentators, and Psalmist (LecComPs) Ministry of St. Mary of the Perpetual Rosary Parish held their Renewal of Commitment last July 16, 2023 at the 3:30 pm Eucharistic celebration which was presided by the Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Dionisio Tabiliran.

Before the LecComPs had their renewal, they were required to comply the needed requirements. These requirements are needed to certify their membership to the said ministry. Firstly, they must have a recommendation letter from their Pangulo sa Katilingban (PSK) and Cluster Coordinator, then, they must attend the Training and Re-Training for the Old and New Members of the Ministry wherein each LecComP will have to choose whether they will attend the training for the Lectors, Commentators or the Psalmists. This training was held last July 09, 2023. The Lectors had their training at the Parish Gym, the Commentators at the Parish Seminar Hall and the Psalmists at the PSK Hall.

Lastly, the recollection was conducted last July 16, 2023 at the Parish Seminar Hall, wherein Ms. Gina Balbuena was the resource speaker. The said recollection was considered to be fruitful because it was a combination of reflection, engaging activities and a purposeful and enlightening talk. The participants were fully engaged throughout the whole recollection in the morning wherein they felt that they were not just renewed as a LecComP but also as a citizen of heaven.

Fr. Dionisio Tabiliran expressed his gratitude towards the LecComPs for their commitment and dedication to serve and to proclaim God’s Word. He said that it is not easy because you are giving your service to the Church for free. Fr. Diony further expressed that he is delighted to see how many are ready and committed to do their responsibilities as a member of the LecComPs ministry.

The success of this renewal of commitment is in due credit to the efforts of the Lector and Commentator Coordinator, Mr. Roger Adan and Psalmist Coordinator, Mrs. Veronica Merlas, Cluster Coordinators and other Core Group Members and also under the guidance and support of the Spiritual Director Rev. Fr. Romeo Coronel, OSA. (Allyza Hope Tabigue)
