SAN MATEO, Rizal – Last Sunday, Rev. Fr. Larry Paz, parish priest of Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Nuestra Señora de Aranzazu (DSPNSDA) along with the Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) and other ministries, officially opened the celebration of the National Bible Week with a theme “Ang biblia ang sandigan ng matuwid na pamumuno at pamumuhay.”
Fr. Larry Paz facilitated the Liturgy of the Bible Enthronement prior to the 7:30 am mass. Bible Enthronement is an act of giving honor to the word of God that is represented by the Bible. He also blessed the bibles in the exhibit beside the altar. During the mass, Fr. Toto, a guest priest, emphasized the importance of having a bible at home and reading it. He said that we don’t just buy a bible for the sake of having one at home. We should read and share the messages in it.
The National Bible Week will last until January 28, Sunday. Culminating activities will be conducted in line with the celebration.
