A twenty-five-year journey of prayer and perseverance has reached its glorious destination. With a shared spirit of devotion, the dedicated altar servers, the vibrant community of parishioners, and the entire Diocese of Tagum joyfully welcomed the formal establishment of its newest parish, Our Lady of Mary Mediatrix of All Grace. This solemn Canonical Er****on and Installation ceremony marked a historic milestone for the faithful of Panabo City, led by the Shepherd of the Diocese, Most Rev. Medil S. Aseo.

In a moment of profound significance, Rev. Fr. Lou Jake Colarines was formally installed as the pioneer Parish Priest. As he accepted the keys to the tabernacle and the responsibility of the flock, the community bore witness to the fulfillment of a mission that began as a humble seed planted in 1999.

What began as a strategic pastoral need has blossomed into a vibrant sanctuary. From the construction of the parish hall to the formalization of its canonical status, every effort was a testament to the community's "Yes" to God's call. As the bells rang out in celebration, the faithful of Panabo offered a collective prayer of thanksgiving for a dream that, across generations, has finally become home.

Beginning the holy season of Lent today. As the ashes are marked, we enter the liturgical wilderness, stripping away the noise to focus on the sacrifice. May these forty days be a time of true metanoia, a turning of the heart back toward the Light.

WHY LENT AND HOLY WEEK HAVE DIFFERENT DATES EACH YEAR

Many people wonder why Lent and Holy Week do not fall on the same dates every year. The reason is rooted in Sacred Scripture, Jewish tradition, and God’s design of time.

The dates of Lent and Holy Week depend on Easter Sunday, the greatest feast of the Catholic faith. Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. This method connects the Resurrection of Jesus with the Jewish Passover, the time when Christ suffered, died, and rose again.

Because the moon cycle changes each year, the date of Easter also changes. And since Lent begins 40 days before Easter (excluding Sundays) and Holy Week starts on Palm Sunday, their dates move as well.

There is a specific kind of silence that only exists inside these walls. ⛪️ It’s the kind of hush that doesn't feel empty, but full of prayers whispered over centuries, full of hope, and full of a peace that the world outside just can’t provide.
Coming to Mass is my way of hitting the ‘pause’ button on the noise of life. It’s where the chaos of the week meets the stillness of the sanctuary. Between the ancient words of the liturgy and the soft glow of the altar candles, I find the strength to keep going. It’s not just a service; it’s a recalibration of the soul. ✨🙏

"'The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices.' 🌎✨ There’s something so powerful about hearing those words sung in a room full of people on this holy night. Between the smell of the pine wreaths, the soft glow of the candles, and the familiar carols, it feels like time stands still for a moment. It’s a beautiful reminder that no matter how loud the world gets, there is always a place for peace and grace. Merry Christmas to you and yours. ❤️"
