On this Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the outgoing Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma formally installed the new team of pastors of the Sto. Rosario Parish, P. Del Rosario St., Cebu City.
The team is composed of Msgr. Joseph Tan (Team Moderator), Msgr. Renato Beltran Jr., Fr. Benjie Herrera, Fr. Joseph de Aquino, and Fr. Cerilo Romero (Parochial Vicar).
As the priests fulfill their mission of shepherding the people of God, the good Archbishop, in his homily, urged the faithful to appreciate and support their ministry.
“Sa atong pagdawat sa atong team of pastors, unta iappreciate nato ang trabaho sa atong kaparian. Magtinabangay kita. Sa among bahin, sayod kami that we fulfill kining among calling pinaagi sa among pagserbisyo sa katawhan, sa pagtudlo, pagtukod sa katilingban. Unta uban ninyo, kitang tanan, motubo, molambo, Kristohanon nga katilingban,” said Archbishop Palma.
Reflecting on today’s solemnity, he added that just as Mary was assumed into heaven, so too should all that we do lead us closer to the Father.
