Maligayang Pasko

 

MALIGAYANG PASKO!

 

Magpuri tayo sa kay Jesus, Santa Maria at San Jose

Ang sanggol na sinilang, mahimbing sa kandungan

Lahat ay nag-aawitan, nagpupugay at nagsasayawan

Ihanda ang loob at puso at kaluluwa, kasayahan

Galing kina Lolo’t Lola, Ninong at Ninang maraming regalo

Aginaldo sa Ama’t Ina, kamag-anak, buhat sa puso

Yang alay sa Tatlong Hari sa Jesus, ginto, kamanyang at mira

Ang sarap ng bibingka, kalamay, suman at tsokolate

Nag- Simbang Gabi, papuri sa Mesiah sa Kataastaasan

Ganda ng Belen na napaligiran ng mga tupa sa kural

 

Parol, magagandang ilaw at palamuti ng mga bahay

Ang patnubay ng tala patungo sa Bethlehem

Sabsaban ng Berbo, kandungan ng Birhen Maria

Kampana ng mga simbahan, bayan nagbubunyi

O  magsaya tayo sa Hari ng Lahat, Emmanuel! Emmanuel!

50th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY


50th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
         Ricarte & Laura       
                      
50 years of adoring, caring, loving, supporting each other

Wedding bells rang sweetly fifty years ago at Sacred Heart             
Envisioning a dream is so easy, but needs a lot of courage                             
Days may be rough at times and roads may be winding too                         
Daily prayers, Holy Days and Saints’ Days always observed               
Inspired by the good teachings of the RVM Sisters in Hagonoy                
Never-ending thanks to our great Creator for all the blessings                
Generosity flows out of our good hearts contributing to society

Amazing grandchildren always brighten the Corpuz home
Never grow tired of telling each other how much “I Love You"                        
New day, new life, new laughter, new hopes, new challenges             
Inspiration to the clan and showing models of good behavior                   
Very cautious, sincere the ways of observing the “Golden Rule”                
Endless possibilities, numerous tribulations are always faced                      
Rounds of applause from relatives when success is achieved 
Share happiness with friends who believe in one’s triumph                               
A good heart keeps all the goodness and rarest jewels of life                         

Rejoicing together when joyful moments fill the air with love              
Years of wondrous events our growing family loving one another

    Golden Anniversary ceremony was officiated by                     
Fr. Thomas Taylor of St. Vincent de Paul of Peoria, IL 61614
