The Foundation Day of OLCPC was February 11, 1982 of which the first Spiritual Director was Rev. Fr. Evaristo Ablona and to commemorate the 27th Anniversary this year February 14 and February 15 activities were observed. This was made possible through the effort and initiative of Bro. Cef Borromeo, the Youth Chairman, planner and organizer of these activities.

One way of surviving tensions against economic crisis was enjoying the fun at the beach to spend the Day of Hearts. Thanks so much to Rev. Fr. Carlo M. Noquez because the bonding as one charismatic family was strengthened at his beach resort at Brgy. Alegre, Oton, Iloilo last February 14th. There was a registration, followed by the joyful songs led by the Youth Music Ministry. Sis. Mindanita Albaran, OLCPC Chairman gave her welcome address. Both the old and young charismatics enjoyed the games and awarding of prizes. After the joyful songs in the afternoon, Rev. Fr. Philip Vincent S. Sinco gave his Inspirational Message as the Spiritual Director. It was also a great privilege to have Rev. Fr. Macario N. Sortido who greeted the group “Happy Valentine’s Day” when he graced the occasion.

The following day February 15 was a very special day. The Holy Mass was held at 12:00 noon officiated by Rev. Fr. Philip Vincent S. Sinco. He also officiated the Rite of Commissioning of OLCPC Charismatic officers and members and as they said the pledges before the symbols of candles, Holy Bible, and Cross.

“May these symbols inspire us to be instruments of God and glorify His name through our works of Love.”

Happy 27th Anniversary to OLCPC!
