Alphonsa Mahigne's Retirement Tribute, aka Despedida Party
After 35 years teaching, 24 of which were at Pililla Elementary School Central, Ate Nene left the classroom Nov. 15, 2013. She had planned to retire at the end of the school year (March 2014). The stroke which according to the doctor was stress induced left her with no choice but to retire early.
During the retirement celebration, each retiree gave a short speech. Ate Nene gave thanks to God and to her colleagues for their prayers because without them she would not be "as normal" as she is now. I also continue to give God thanks for allowing me to share in her life and to be present at this celebration.

Building Day 13
Feast of Christ the King
The Blessed Sacrament was moved from the Adoration Chapel and into a bigger area to accommodate those who wish to spend an hour in prayer. |
The Catholic Church's procession began at 3 pm. We prayed the rosary and sang songs as we walked throughout town. We saw banners and images of Christ the King at people's gates. The home-bound, seriously ill, members of the family were waiting at their gates for the Blessed Sacrament which Fr. Jovi carried. The procession stopped as we passed by the sick and Fr. Jovi prayed with them.
Fr. Jovi also entered the municipal hall; blessed it and all who work there. We stopped at every barangay hall and Fr. Jovi like wise blessed the place and those who work there.
This image of Christ the King was part of the Aglipay Church's procession. They had an evening procession and members carried candles. |
