PARISH RENEWAL EXPERIENCE CLASS 67

KASALANG BAYAN 2017
2017-08-12 10:00 - 12:00 | Shrine & Parish of Our Lady of Aranzazu, Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Nuestra Señora de Aranzazu Gen. Luna Ave, San Mateo, Rizal, 1850, Philippines
Top four things couples need to remember during a Kasalang Bayan
All couples dream of receiving the blessing of the church to officially become husband and wife. However, with the price tags attached to weddings nowadays, some opt to go for more practical options such as a Kasalang Bayan.
A recent Kasalang Bayan aptly called May Forever: Kasalan sa Lancaster New City, with seventeen participating couples, was held last July 30 in Cavite. Wedding organizers took care of coordinating with the wedding suppliers which greatly took a huge load off the couples who got married.
Here are top four things to remember, as suggested by the wedding organizers of the May Forever: Kasalan sa Lancaster New City, for a stress-free and memorable Kasalang Bayan.
Tip 1 : Coordinate and follow schedules set by your wedding organizers
Strictly following the schedule can never be emphasized enough during weddings, especially if it involves participants outside your circle of family and friends. Your wedding organizers should update you every step of the way and in return, you need to follow the schedules strictly.
Make sure to attend general meetings and rehearsals so you know what will happen every step of the way. Do not also forget to update your entourage and invited guests.
Tip 2 : Arrive on time
Being punctual goes a long way. There will be several couples with you walking down the aisle, so make sure you and your entourage arrive on time to avoid delays in the program. You and your fellow couples won’t feel rushed and you’ll be able to enjoy every moment of the wedding.
Tip 3 : Hair-and-makeup preparation
Hours before the wedding day, the brides will find themselves trapped in a chair with busy hands tugging on their hair and brushes on colorful makeup palettes. Chaotic as it may seem, it’s one of the most exciting highlights of a bride’s day where she gets dolled up.
Before the wedding day, be sure to test different looks to know which suits you best. It will be easier during the wedding day itself once you and your hair and makeup artists have settled on a look that reflects your personality and makes you standout.
Tip 4 : The After-Party
Continue the celebration with your guests by having your own after-wedding party. After congratulating your fellow newly-weds at the church venue, you can treat your guests to a simple after-party where you can do other post-wedding ceremonies such as the couple dance, cake slicing and wine toasting. Take the time to thank each and every one of them who joined you on your special occasion.
If there is enough time, you may also ask help from the organizers to help you out. Just be sure to coordinate with them properly to plan out your after-party.

SAINT BONAVENTURE Bishop & Doctor of the Church
2017-07-15 | Philippines, Luneta Park, Manila, Philippines
Sanctity and learning raised Bonaventure to the Church’s highest honors, and from a child he was the companion of Saints. Yet at heart he was ever the poor Franciscan friar, and practised and taught humility and mortification.
St. Francis gave him his name; for, having miraculously cured him of a mortal sickness, he prophetically exclaimed of the child, “O bona ventura!”-good luck.
He is known also as the “Seraphic Doctor,” from the fervor of divine love which breathes in his writings. He was the friend of St. Thomas Aquinas, who asked him one day whence he drew his great learning. He replied by pointing to his crucifix. At another time St. Thomas found him in ecstasy while writing the life of St. Francis, and exclaimed, “Let us leave a Saint to write of a Saint.” They received the Doctor’s cap together.
He was the guest and adviser of St. Louis, and the director of St. Isabella, the king’s sister. At the age of thirty-five in 1257 he was made general of his Order; and only escaped another dignity, the Archbishopric of York, by dint of tears and entreaties. Gregory X. appointed him Cardinal Bishop of Albano.
When the Saint heard of the Pope’s resolve to create him a Cardinal, he quietly made his escape from Italy. But Gregory sent him a summons to return to Rome. On his way, he stopped to rest himself at a convent of his Order near Florence; and there two Papal messengers, sent to meet him with the Cardinal’s hat, found him washing the dishes. The Saint desired them to hang the hat on a bush that was near, and take a walk in the garden until he had finished what he was about. Then taking up the hat with unfeigned sorrow, he joined the messengers, and paid them the respect due to their character.
He sat at the Pontiff’s right hand, and spoke first at the Council of Lyons. His piety and eloquence won over the Greeks to Catholic union, and then his strength failed.
He died while the Council was sitting, and was buried by the assembled bishops, A. D. 1274.
