Re: Parishioners’ Eucharistic Stories
Dear Fathers,
I hope this message finds you very well and in a positive mood. Without any intention of adding burden to your already heavy responsibilities – in behalf of the Committee on the 60th Foundation Anniversary of POLA, I would like to request your little time to facilitate this appeal, i.e., bringing this matter to your parishioners during your PPC Meeting or in any window of opportunity wherein you can get this message get across to the attention of your parishioners especially those who have genuine stories and experiences on the Eucharistic Life that we have been labouring to impart with them. We believe this is a bright idea that these people be given the chance to put into writing their worthy stories and be published by the POLA for the purpose of memorializing the fruits of our toil in the very lives of our dear parishioners and lay collaborators in the SSS Mission.
Attached herewith, kindly browse the parameters of this project and do announce it to your parish as early as possible.
I hope for your kind cooperation and prompt action. Thank you very much.
To the Eucharistic Lord, to Him be the glory.
In Christ,
Fr Junvic Diolata, SSS
