𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸!🎄🌟

On 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, the 𝗨𝗜𝗖 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 successfully conducted its first "𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗿: 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵, 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲" session at Magsaysay Park. In this holy season of giving, our volunteers found profound joy in gathering the children residing in the park for an afternoon of spiritual fellowship.

Reflecting the true essence of Christmas—God’s relentless search for us through the birth of Jesus—we shared the Parable of the Lost Sheep. It was a beautiful opportunity to remind these little ones that they are deeply loved, and precious in the eyes of the Good Shepherd. 📖❤️

The mission continued with an interactive coloring session and a simple agape, where we shared snacks and Gifts of Love with the children. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve and for the dedication of our volunteers who made this transformative encounter possible. 💛🙏

Alleluiah for He is Risen! 🌅 Let us celebrate the triumph of Christ’s resurrection—reminding us that love conquers all, and new beginnings are always possible.

Happy Easter from UIC Volunteer Catechists!

✨ALAY GASA SA KWARESMA 2025 ✨

What if the greatest gift we could give this Lent…is ourselves?

The UIC-Volunteer Catechist Club was blessed with the privilege to encounter Christ in the faces of the children of Balay Pasilungan, Davao City, last April 6, 2025 through an Outreach program.

In which one a quiet reminder of joy, hope, and resilience, may this experience remind us to keep giving with purpose, even beyond this season. 🙏

LOVE, FAITH, AND SERVICE IN ACTION✨

We, the University of Immaculate Conception-Volunteer Catechist Club, would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for the overwhelming support and success of our recent Club Fair. Special thanks to all UIC-VC Club Officers, headed by Merry Evanie Dapar, our newly elected Mayor, Regelle Anne Josol, the Vice Mayor for Catechism and Special Projects, and Bridget Dianne (Former Mayor) for the guidance. Their invaluable leadership and dedication, played a crucial role in making this event a triumph. We are also grateful to everyone who stopped by and learned about our mission. Mabuhay UIC-VC! 🙏🎉

Rise and rejoice! ✨✝️

Today's Gospel of John 20:1-9 reminds us of the awe-inspiring miracle of Easter Sunday, as Mary Magdalene discovers the empty tomb and rushes to share the good news with the disciples. In this passage, we learn the powerful lesson of unwavering faith and the transformative power of Christ's resurrection. As volunteer catechists, let us reflect on the profound message of hope and renewal that Easter brings, inspiring us to spread the light of Christ's love to others and to embrace the joy of new beginnings in our own lives.

Happy Easter Sunday! 🤍🙏🏻

It means making good use of created things: faith in God, the only One, leads us to use everything that is not God only insofar as it brings us closer to him, and to detach ourselves from it insofar as it turns us away from him:

My Lord and my God, take from me everything that distances me from you. My Lord and my God, give me everything that brings me closer to you. My Lord and my God, detach me from myself to give my all to you.

God put us in the world to know, to love, and to serve him, and so to come to paradise. Beatitude makes us "partakers of the divine nature" and of eternal life. With beatitude, man enters into the glory of Christ and into the joy of the Trinitarian life.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark:

Then they came to Capernaum,
and on the sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and taught.
The people were astonished at his teaching,
for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.
In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit;
he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
Have you come to destroy us?
I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
Jesus rebuked him and said,
“Quiet! Come out of him!”
The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him.
All were amazed and asked one another,
“What is this?
A new teaching with authority.
He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him.”
His fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark:

On that day, as evening drew on, Jesus said to his disciples:
“Let us cross to the other side.”
Leaving the crowd, they took Jesus with them in the boat just as he was.
And other boats were with him.
A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat,
so that it was already filling up.
Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion.
They woke him and said to him,
“Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?”
He woke up,
rebuked the wind,
and said to the sea, “Quiet! Be still!”
The wind ceased and there was great calm.
Then he asked them, “Why are you terrified?
Do you not yet have faith?”
They were filled with great awe and said to one another,
“Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?”
