Monsignor. Manny has a big problem with the commission TITLE, therefore;
The 1st assignment to the vicariate coordinators is to make a survey from their respective
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.

Rev. Fr. Lambert will attend tomorrow July 24 in Quezon City and tapped
1) Aleth Hernandez, FL parish coordinator of 5 Wounds parish for counseling due to her special skills in that area,
2) CWL who works hand in hand with CFL.
3)Option to establish a center/venue which is near the main road. Have considered the following options:
14.1 St. Andrew Cathedral- as being eyed by Rev. Fr. Lambert with initial discussion with the bishop on the venue.
14.2St. Jerome-Alabang came up to the list of potential venue. Rev. Fr. Lambert
commented that it may have the impression that the venue reflects the image of the
rich having Ayala Alabang patrons. Gerry of South Sector Vicariate of OLA, said that

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.
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..
Agenda (6)Status of the directives on the Matrix?
Submission/Preparation of the Vicariate Matrix. Others have already prepared and submitted.
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.

The 1st assignment to the vicariate coordinators is to make a survey from their respective
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.

Rev. Fr. Lambert will attend tomorrow July 24 in Quezon City and tapped
1) Aleth Hernandez, FL parish coordinator of 5 Wounds parish for counseling due to her special skills in that area,
2) CWL who works hand in hand with CFL.
3)Option to establish a center/venue which is near the main road. Have considered the following options:
14.1 St. Andrew Cathedral- as being eyed by Rev. Fr. Lambert with initial discussion with the bishop on the venue.
14.2St. Jerome-Alabang came up to the list of potential venue. Rev. Fr. Lambert
commented that it may have the impression that the venue reflects the image of the
rich having Ayala Alabang patrons. Gerry of South Sector Vicariate of OLA, said that
the church has the jurisdiction of the Women in crisis Center and other center for
children ( Marilac Hills as example) Moreover, the church for Ayala Alabang residents is St. James the Great which is inside the posh village.
14.3 Redemptorist Church having a Home for Children as special program of the

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.
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..
Agenda (6)Status of the directives on the Matrix?
Submission/Preparation of the Vicariate Matrix. Others have already prepared and submitted.
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).
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.
