Parish Newsbits: "The Parish Visits the Binan Prison Inmates"

Last Saturday, July 25, 2009 the parish was given the opportunity to visit and interact with the prison inmates of the Binan Municipal Jail as part of the Prison Awareness Month. Rev. Fr. Toochy Ubarco led the Eucharistic celebration, the highlight of the activity, along with some of the members of the various ministries and organizations of the parish. After the mass, the group distributed foods and other small items that were prepared by the parish as a simple gesture of care and love to our brothers in the Jail.

The activity is an annual undertaking organized by the Vicariate of Binan that intends to awaken the public on the plight of the prisoners. Various programs were also lined up by the Vicariate thru the parishes that will promote and provide programs and opportunities to meet the unique needs of the prisoners and their families, ex-prisoners and their families, victims and their families, the correctional employees and the volunteers in prison service.
