Today, the Christian community of San Pedro Calungsod Parish in Pulangbato, Cebu City, celebrates its 12th Parish Annual Fiesta with the theme: “San Pedro Calungsod: Kauban nato sa Panaw Padulong ni Kristo, ang Tuburan sa Paglaum.”
Cebu Archbishop Alberto “Abet” Uy presided over the Solemn Pontifical Mass. He was joined by Fr. Jose de Dios III (Parish Priest) and other visiting priests.
Inspired by the life of St. Pedro Calungsod, who offered his life at such a young age for the sake of his faith, Archbishop Abet reminded the faithful that, regardless of our current status in life, we all possess the potential to bring joy and glorify the Lord through our service to others.
“Dili kinahanglan professional kita. Dili kinahanglan public official kita. Dili kinahanglan pari ta para makaalagad sa Ginoo. Bisag unsa nimo kagamay, ordinaryo nga tawo, estado sa kinabuhi, pwede gyod ka nga makalipay sa Diyos sa imong pagpangalagad,” he exhorted.
