In grateful recognition of the parishes and individuals whose dedication brought the local celebrations of the Jubilee Year 2025 to life, a simple yet meaningful Culminating and Thanksgiving Program was held earlier today at the Filipiniana Hall of the Archbishop’s Residence.
Among those present were Msgr. Roger Fuentes, Vicar General; representatives of the various Jubilee churches; and contributors to the archdiocese’s online segment, Stories of Hope, whose shared testimonies echoed the spirit of faith and renewal that marked the Jubilee Year.
By opening their doors, the Jubilee churches ensured a meaningful journey for all pilgrims, truly embodying the spirit of a welcoming Church.
In the same way, by sharing their stories, representatives from different sectors opened their hearts, allowing God’s goodness, love, and mercy to be made visible and to serve as a source of hope and inspiration to others.
While the tokens given may never fully express how deeply grateful the Archdiocese is for their generosity, openness, and the gift of their time and resources, these simple items were offered as humble, tangible reminders of sincere gratitude and of the prayers lifted for each one of them.
