Ang Pasimhay-The Blog Version

Last 1997, during the time of Rev. Fr. Ricardo R. De Luna, San Antonio De Padua Parish Binan, Laguna created a Parish Journal entitled "Ang Pasimhay" or Ang Patunay ng Simbahang Buhay. The journal served as the newsletter of the parish for almost two (2) years and became the bridge that closes the gap between the parishioners and the Parish Church.

It even uses the tag line, "The only paper that informs and inspires" since aside from bringing updates and news on the latest and incoming activities in the Parish, it also features inspiring articles that aims to somehow inspires the parishioners to reflect on the message of the Gospel thru heart warming stories.

The newsletter only lasted for two (2) years due to financial concerns particularly on the printing expenses as there are no major advertisements and subsidies from the parish that could somehow support the paper then.
In the advent of new technology and channel like the internet more particularly the Blog mania, the passion for the apostolate on new means of communication or new media has remained strong, thus, this blog site.
The people that will maintain this site is almost the same creative minds behind the dream of Ang Pasimhay 11 years ago. The site will also carry the same tagline before of Ang Pasimhay but this time with a twist, "the site that informs and inspires"
Unlike the newsletter then, the site can be a source of stories everyday and even information and latest updates of the Parish affairs and even from the persona behind it. Welcome and may we hear from you soon!
