2009 PARISH SURVEY-SEPTEMBER 26, 2009

In view of the scheduled ad limina visit of His Excellency, Most Rev. Bishop Leo Drona D.D., Bishop of San Pablo, on December 2010, the Diocese has mandated all the parishes within its jurisdiction to prepare a Parish Statistical Report for the years 2002-2010 thru a Parish Survey. The said report is very much essential in the said visit of Bishop Drona for him to be able to effectively report to the Holy See the plight or true state of his Diocese.

For our part, our parish created a Parish Survey Committee that will specifically address the needs and requirements of the said undertaking. The committee has lined various activities to be able to ensure that the Parish will deliver its share on time and most importantly to submit a correct, precise and credible information with the end view of using the output for the betterment of the community.

JUST A TRIVIA. . .
The visit ad limina means, technically, the obligation incumbent on certain members of the hierarchy of visiting, at stated times, the "thresholds of the Apostles", Sts. Peter and Paul, and of presenting themselves before the pope to give an account of the state of their dioceses. The object of the visit is not merely to make a pilgrimage to the tombs of the apostles, but, above all, to show the proper reverence for the Successor of St. Peter, to acknowledge practically his universal jurisdiction by giving an account of the condition of particular churches, to receive his admonitions and counsels, and thus bind more closely the members of the Church to its Divinely appointed head.
