Rita de Cascia<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />MINUTES OF THE MEETING<br /><br />1. Opening Prayer and Gospel Reading by Zoilo Gabriel <br /><br />2. Reflection on Lk 24:13-35 (The Appearance on the Road to Emmaus)<br /> <br />• We have our own Emmaus story happening to us now. We go through our journey of escaping/running away from our desolation experiences/unmet expectations/fears/doubts/problems by going to Emmaus so we can find our way back to our own Jerusalem.<br />• When 2 or more are gathered in His name, there is Jesus in our midst. His presence and our faith that He will not abandon us helps us cope with life’s challenges.<br />• My own Emmaus story at this time is having uncertainty over the coming of our new priest in the light of the re-assignments. But we must give our new priest the welcome he deserves, after all, he may likewise be experiencing the same fears/uncertainties about a possible unaccepting or unwelcoming parish. <br />• We have to acknowledge and recognize our own feelings of disillusionments on the situation we are in at the present time. We can not escape from these, we need to confront them. Only when we do, with God’s grace can we go back to Jerusalem.<br />• We need to be aware of God’s presence even in the midst of conflicts/problems and negative situations. We need to pray for God’s grace for us to have a strong faith and trust that God is with us, grace not to leave Jerusalem when problems abound.<br /> <br />3.

Lambert to wit:<br /><br />“Memorandum of Agreement for 2 COF Centers will be issued to the new Parish Priest.” The issue: Assure the continuing use of the COF Centers and at the same time giving due courtesy to the new priest.<br /><br />Confusion is: Will the Memorandum of Agreement be between the DCOF and the incumbent or incoming parish priest?<br /><br />Zoilo moved for the approval of the minutes with the exception of the above Item VIII.C.

CARDINAL ROSALES PASTORAL LETTER SEPT 15, 2010ABORTION, A CRIME AGAINST LIFE<br /><br /><br /><br />With possible malicious intent the ugly part of life is again gaining the<br />limelight in our country as the frequency of aborted fetuses is publicly<br />exposed. The placing and exhibiting of aborted human fetuses in public<br />places are not favored in other cultures, and decent people refuse to do<br />the same.<br /><br />Thou shalt not kill! A deliberately procured abortion is a moral evil and<br />the Catholic Church attaches the canonical penalty of Excommunication on<br />those who procure it and on those who help obtain abortion (Canon 1398).<br /><br />If the expositions of discarded human fetuses are not done with evil<br />intent, then the practice alone of rampant abortion is symptomatic of a<br />grave moral decadence and irresponsible behavior that now seriously<br />threaten the country.<br /><br />Human lives are always precious to God and any violation of it will be<br />dealt with by Him for He said, “Vengeance is mine . . . He will avenge the<br />blood of his servants” (Gene 4:15, Deut. 32:43). Abortion is a grave sin<br />against a defenseless life; and for this the severe canonical penalty to<br />perpetuator/s is Excommunication.<br /><br />Unwanted pregnancies could be avoided if only people are less selfish, are<br />more disciplined and capable of self control, exercising a strong will,<br />and capable of making sacrifices. These are virtues that are much needed<br />in a country of disciplined people.<br /><br />Short cuts to progress even by way of new laws cannot compensate for<br />abandoned values. Human life, created in the image of its Maker, (Gen.<br />1:27), the very source of the rights and dignity of the human person, must<br />always be respected and defended.<br /><br />In Churches where public exposition of fetuses occurs, special prayers and<br />acts of reparation will be made, for the sins of the perpetrators, at the<br />church’s Prayer and Adoration Chapels. Pray and include also in your<br />prayers the special prayers to ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL, for the<br />perpetrators and instigators of this grievous sin against the life of the<br />innocent.<br /><br />May Mary, Mother of Life, intercede for all who value the sacredness of life.<br /><br />(signed)<br /><br />GAUDENCIO B.

Castro <br />Executive Secretary, ECFL <br />Contact number: 0917.514.9798<br />Email address: fr_melvin@yahoo.com<br /> <br />Media Bulletin 20<br />July 28, 2010<br /> <br />Education in Human Sexuality <br />(First of Three Parts)<br /> <br />It is a welcome development that the Department of Education has now withdrawn the Sex Ed modules it had planned to pilot this school year in selected areas nationwide. The sensitivity with which the new Secretary of Education has manifested in this area gives us reason to hope that the government, in particular the department entrusted with the formal education of our youth, will be responsive to the concerns which parents and moral leaders, including the Church, have raised against these modules. Sex education in schools, which began in 1975 in the Philippines as population education, comes from a population-control and moral relativist perspective. In 1994 the International Conference on Population and Development raised the idea of an unrestricted right to sex by any person regardless of age and status which substantially added to the content of sex education.<br /> <br />Education is imparted to develop the intellectual and moral dimensions of the child and prepare the young person for a responsible role in working for the good of society. Education in human sexuality is an important aspect in the child’s integral development if it is understood in its holistic context. The document Educational Guidance in Human Love defines sexuality as “a fundamental component of personality, one of its modes of being, of manifestation, of communicating with others, of feeling, of expressing and of living human love… Sexuality characterises man and woman not only on the physical level, but also on the psychological and spiritual… (a) diversity linked to the complementarity of the two sexes…” <br /> <br />Sexuality is inherent in the body created as either male or female, and thus each person’s action is done and made possible through the body. Men and women – human beings – act through their bodies, express themselves and convey their thoughts and feelings through their bodies. This action is fundamentally an act to relate to another person, which in the highest form is called “communion”, sharing one’s life with the life of another. Such sharing is thus a giving of oneself and it is intended for the good of the other. This self-giving is precisely called love, and human sexuality is the capacity of the person to express love.<br /> <br />From this fundamental understanding of sexuality, it is clear that education in human sexuality cannot be separated from the formation of the character of the child. It is not simply receiving information about the biological process of procreation but learning the integral meaning of the physical aspect in human love: the true beauty of the sexual union lies in self-giving within the rightful place of marriage which carries the promise and commitment of faithful love.<br /> <br />In a climate of moral confusion, sexuality has unfortunately been reduced to sex, and sex to just bodily union for one’s own satisfaction. Education in human sexuality teaches the integral vision coming from knowing the purpose of sex as partnership with God’s creative work. Children have thus to be formed in their moral development first in the home by their parents and then in the schools, nurturing the virtue of chastity and self-control. Information on sex cannot be dissociated from moral principles if the object is the harmonious development and authentic education of the child. #<br />Appendix 1aUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687458830119139663.post-59058299362662555002010-08-07T18:13:00.000-07:002010-08-07T18:14:43.888-07:00June 22, 2010 Minutes of the MeetingMinutes of the meeting of the Diocesan Commission on the Family held at the Cathedral of St. Andrew Parañaque City on June24, 2010 hosted by Vicariate of Sta.

Rita de Casia <br /><br />The meeting started at about 8:00 pm with the opening prayer of Rev. Fr. Lambert, who presented and proceeded to the agenda of the meeting , with the highlights on the numbered agenda Regrets on the Errors and omissions: <br /><br />Agenda prepared by Rev. Fr. Lambert as projected. (no copy was distributed)<br /><br />Agenda (1)Formal introduction of the CoChair of the DCFL and the new priest and couple coordinator of the Vicariate of the Holy Family. <br /><br />Presented the members of the Commission, the term shall be confirmed through Diocesan appointment.

Ador Javier.<br /><br /><br />Agenda (2)Update on the direction of the Diocese on the DCFL.<br /><br />Monsignor. Manny has a big problem with the commission TITLE, therefore;<br /><br />The 1st assignment to the vicariate coordinators is to make a survey from their respective <br />vicariates/parishes as to the name/s used for the commission by practice and email their report to Rev. Fr. Lambert/Ador. Holy Family is using Commission on Family Life. Others have declared that they have already adapted the name Commission on Family & Life, following the pronouncement of the diocese. However, a survey has to be submitted by the coordinators. Vicariate of San Antonio de Padua headed by Zoilo and Connie Gabriel was tasked to make a survey on all the dioceses of the Philippines. Rev. Fr. Lambert said that it was suggested by Monsignor Manny to use the name Commission on the Family to make it easy to coordinate with the Tripartite. In principle, the name was approved except for some expressions and terminologies. It was pointed out by Connie that in Liniamenta the name used was Commission on Family, which Rev. Fr. Lambert said was just a typographical error.<br /><br />Agenda (3)Short review of the matters discussed in the previous meeting.<br /><br />The different assignments of each vicariate were discussed, the previously assigned and the addition up to Goal 15, as explained by Rev. Fr. Lambert (refer to respective assignments).

Goal on different advocacy group for promotion of family and life was assigned to San Antonio de Padua. A copy was emailed as claimed by Zoilo/Connie. Since no email was received a copy shall be asked. Possible source group in the Diocese that was mentioned is Buhay Partylist being pro-life. To organize an advocacy desk is ideal as said by Rev. Fr. Lambert.<br /><br />Goal 7. Goals on BEC as support system for all family members- was assigned to Vicariate of St. Martin de Porres.Rev. Fr. Lambert claimed non submission of goal, but Connie informed that an email was sent by Manny of St. Martin de Porres. Reminded the Secretary to request for a copy by email..<br /><br />Goal 8. Goal for Migrant Families. A copy submitted by Mons. Venus was not received. Reiterated to submit soft copy.<br /><br />Goal 9. Goal for single parent/single parenthood.

Lambert with emphasis on the importance of mass wedding. <br /><br />A purpose driven objective for all mass wedding in our diocese thus given a clear reason why live in couples want to get married. <br /><br />With these objectives, different strategies to be done with success indicator of living the mandate of marriage.<br /><br />Goal 12 Goal for differently- abled street children, assigned to Sta. Rita de Casia. Request to send email copy to Rev. Fr. Lambert. The body was informed that it was already sent by email, but Rev. Fr. Lambert has not received it yet.<br /><br />Goal 13. Goal for children below 12 years old is also assigned to Vicariate San Antonio de Padua ( that’s another task of San Antonio de Padua)<br /><br />Goal 14. Goal for Women and Children in Crisis? <br /><br />As per Rev. Fr. Lambert, the CBCP Commission on Women had a grant from abroad willing to finance a special program for women ion parishes, thereby creating a Women’s desk, whereby this group will shoulder the salary of two, telephone, office maintenance and train workers.<br /><br />Rev. Fr. Lambert will attend tomorrow July 24 in Quezon City and tapped<br /> 1) Aleth Hernandez, FL parish coordinator of 5 Wounds parish for counseling due to her special skills in that area, <br />2) CWL who works hand in hand with CFL. <br />3)Option to establish a center/venue which is near the main road. Have considered the following options:<br /><br />14.1 St. Andrew Cathedral- as being eyed by Rev. Fr. Lambert with initial discussion with the bishop on the venue.<br /> <br />14.2St. Jerome-Alabang came up to the list of potential venue. Rev. Fr. Lambert <br /> commented that it may have the impression that the venue reflects the image of the <br /> rich having Ayala Alabang patrons. Gerry of South Sector Vicariate of OLA, said that<br /> the church has the jurisdiction of the Women in crisis Center and other center for <br />children ( Marilac Hills as example) Moreover, the church for Ayala Alabang residents is St. James the Great which is inside the posh village.<br /> <br />14.3 Redemptorist Church having a Home for Children as special program of the <br /> church.<br /> <br />14.4 San Isidro Labrador Almanza, old church noted as another option as raised by <br /> Allen, also for the purpose of creating a vicariate center for Natural Family Planning<br /> and Counseling Center.<br /><br />It was also emphasized by Rev. Fr. Lambert that no Walk-in-Clients shall be entertained, that they still have to undergo psychological testing and be endorsed by a group.<br />And to appoint couple coordinator to visit the center. Appointed Connie to do the special function as coordinator on the Women’s Desk.<br /><br />As reiterated by Rev. Fr. Lambert, Secretary to follow up un-submitted goals..<br /><br />Agenda (5) Status of the manual of operation per vicariate. <br />(in the absence of it), Rev. Fr. Lambert emphasized that the manual should contain the whole picture on what you do in the vicariate (projects, pictures, etc.). The vicariate of St. Joseph has already submitted a draft of their manual, wherein mission and vision are in line with the Diocesan thrust-uniqueness in their vicariate. The deadline for submission is set on Aug. 15, 2009 for submission to Rev. Fr. Ador. Allen raised hesitancy on the creation of an early deadline citing that their vicariate has not even finished with the Matrix. However Rev. Fr. Lambert gave comfort and assurance that it can be easily done since the father is with the Vicariate. <br />Note: to ask each parish couple coordinator on how their programs are being used, how FL operates their plans/activities as the problem really is no proper documentation..<br /><br />Agenda (6)Status of the directives on the Matrix?<br /> Submission/Preparation of the Vicariate Matrix. Others have already prepared and submitted.<br /><br />Agenda (7) Specific plan of the commission on the year of the priest ( June 2009-June 2010) Since the family is the basic unit of society , it is then the basic source of priesthood and it is just proper that we in the commission plan/initiate an activity for the year of the priest, that we gather and give honor to them, like the suggestion Rev. Fr. Lambert PAGPUPUGAY AT PAGKALINGA SA PARI (PAPA).<br /><br />Example – to gather at Cuneta Astrodome wherein we can tap actors/actresses within the diocese, for a short program ending with a mass to be celebrated by the bishop.<br /><br />A lot of suggestions were given like- renewal of priest is the<br /> - renewal of families and vice-versa.<br />- to create and propose a formation.<br /><br />In conclusion, it was agreed that vicariate couple coordinators brainstorm on the activities for the year of the priest. Target date for the said activity is Dec. 7, 2009.<br /><br />Agenda 8 New sets of signatories:<br /><br />Resolved that a new set of signatories be duly authorized effective July 23, 2009.<br /><br />It is further resolved that the fund deposited on said account shall be subject to withdrawal upon the joint signatories of:<br /><br />a.
