History of Pastoral Council of Addas 2Village

• One sunny Sunday on that fateful month of july 1990, Rev. Fr. Virgillo Saenz Mendoza, Parish Prist of Sto. Nino de Molino parish celebrated the very 1st mass in addas village 2. Some of the residents helped to organize the momentous event. It was a well-attended Mass celebration. On that day also, people of addas, especially the roman catholics showed enthusiasm and eagerness to listen to a proposed project for a community chapel.

• Father Vur assigned Bro. tadeo angcao, a seminarian from the tahanan ng mabuting pastol to conduct the weekly bible service. He began to proclaim the word on september 15, 1990. on the 1st day of the service, many came however on the succeeding weeks, the attendance decreased. Other ways and means were devised to attract the people to the service were undertaken. One suggestion came from Sis. Lourdes molina together with some friends they suggested that a week block rosary be conducted in order to uplift the spiritual life of the people and to let them know about the power of prayer through the holy rosary.

• An image of the “our lade of fatima” was purchased, thus the block rosary began immediately. It followed every bible service. The lady was moved from one house to another.

• Through our lady, many of the parishioners got to know one another. Potential lay leaders were identified who can help in organizing the contemplated pastoral council. In a few weeks time, the block rosary devotion spread enormously throughout the village. The organizing group at 1st observed that only a few came to participate, but they did not give up and continued with their invitation and encouragement among the parishioners to join them.

• Throughout 1993, san miguel 2 has faithfully attended the monthly parish council meetings and participated in the vigils, novenas and other activities of the parish. San miguel Pastoral council was also represented for the 1st time in the Christmas choral festival.

• From january 1994 up to the present, the masses celebrated by Fr. Vir are now held at 8:00 p.m. every 1st Saturday of the month; the Sunday bilble services are being carried on by Bro. Rey santos, unassisted for most part due to the sickness and subsequent passing away of Bro. Yoyong. A special novena or masses was held this january 1994 and the pastoral area census, which has been ongoing since December, 1993 and is now winding up.

As of now you can see that our church is being renovated
