News in Cebu: Aida's Definitive promises as LCM (May 14, 2017)

Picture

Cebu City - "I Will Be The Voice that Speaks Your Word". This was the theme of last Sunday's event for the definitive promises of Aida Carpela, a lay consecrated missionary.

The promises were done during the celebration of the mass which was witnessed by the whole family,  not only from Cebu, but from the members of the Verbum Dei family from the other communities here in the Philippines and from other countries as well. Among those who witnessed was no other than our president, Lucia Herrerias, who formally accepted her promises representing the whole Family. Fr. James McTavish and Fr. Vincent "Bong" Guinoo officiated the mass. 

After the mass was a simple "salu-salo" where the Verbum Dei family, including Aida's own family, friends and relatives, had a moment to share and be one in celebrating this joyous occasion. Afterwards, a short program was done where members of the family from the different realities, did various presentations (songs, dances, skits, etc.). 

It was indeed a great experience of celebration for the 'yes' of our dear sister, her yes that echoes not only here in Cebu, but to where God leads her: to many more who needs God's Word. 

Congratulations Aida!

Start of Formation course for the 2nd batch of Married Couple Missionaries in Philippines

Picture
​On the 13th of May, 2017, we celebrate 100 years of Mother Mary’s first apparition in Fatima, Portugal.  It was also on this same day that we celebrated the inauguration mass for the formation course of the Verbum Dei couples’ branch in Cebu, Philippines.  Thus, for nine couples (seven from Cebu and one each from CDO and Sydney), together with the team of formators, begins a two year program of formation and further deepening in the Verbum Dei charism.  We were also honoured with the presence of Lucia, president of the Verbum Dei Fraternity, James, ecclesial responsible for the Philippines zone, and Miguel-Angel, general administrator for Verbum Dei.  It truly was an ecclesial moment that hopefully would have put a smile on Jaime’s face had he been there to participate, as we really felt like the early Christians in where the females, males and married members of the first Christian communities would celebrate and worship Jesus as one.

Cebu City - After a very fruitful Easter Encounter celebrations on the 3 places (Cebu, Olango and Bohol), the family took a break and spent a day just having fun.

The theme of the event was "Duol Kamo ug Magsadya Kita" (Come and Let Us Rejoice). The day started with a mass celebrated by Fr. Vincent (Bong) Guinoo. This was then followed by Darwin welcoming everyone to the event. It was good to see familiar and new faces, those who were part of the encounters and were able to meet the family.

The day was filled with team games, music, animation and with lots of prizes. Later in the afternoon, the family had an exciting time as we played Bingo. Everyone had fun and was a great celebration.

News in Cebu: Video presentations of the different Easter Encounters (Cebu, Bohol and Olango)

The Lord is risen, alleluia, alleluia!

Last April 13-16, 2017, the Verbum Dei family in Cebu were blessed to have 3 venues for their Easter Encounter: one in Consolacion, Cebu,, another in Olango Island, Cebu, and the 3rd one in the island of Bohol.

To sum up the experiences of those 3 days, here are some short videos made for the 3 different venues. May this remind us of Jesus' challenge to "Do as I have done... Live and Love without limits!"
