February 9th Announcement!
February 4, 2008
Regarding the February 9th (Saturday) evaluation session with Tita Batchie; please pass the word on to everybody, as a reminder and as an FYI, that it’s set from 9:00 AM to 12 Noon, at the Holy Spirit Social Hall. Take note, we will be watching videos.
On another note, it has been kindly brought to our attention that there’s still better ways to improve our site navigation, and we thank Ma’am Jocelyn for that. In a lot of ways, we rely on other people to see how we might improve, again and again; and be sure, we welcome input like that
Short of doing a total redesign, we have tweaked the “link headers” you see on the black strip immediately under the faithwalk logo. From now on, when you want to check the site for “Youth Matters” updates, you can directly navigate towards the YouthWalk section, where to choose “Youth Bulletin” is to be directed to the latest announcements. For every new page that opens, other than “HOME,” there will be links, usually on the right side, leading to “Recent Posts”, where the appropriate titles will be found. The “Site Map” on the header is yet another way towards where you might want to go. For other questions and feedback, we request that you use the “Comments” section on the appropriate posts where we can conduct a dialogue regarding any particular announcement, or article, posted. Please do not be shy about typing in any type of comment. As long as it does not offend both our sensibilities, then whatever you wish to say and write will ever be acceptable. And, as always, criticisms (which we intend to use to constantly improve the site) are welcome.
Thank you.

Kaamulan
January 18, 2008
this is our rationale for the kaamulan project:
We are a group of Filipino-Americans who share a parish, and a faith, with you. We are no more ordinary, or no less special than you. Some of us grew up in a different culture; a culture that has proven hazy in the minds of our American children, and a culture our hearts wistfully yearn to impart in some meaningful way to our young. For, as much as we work to nurture them into their strengths, they needed to understand where we came from, and how love can still flourish while bridging the widest cultural differences.
As parents of budding teenagers, we have also been long bemused as to how to counter peer pressure and the allures of this time and age, and how to bring our children past the experiences — both painful and needless — into the spiritual foundations of meaningful maturity.
It is thus, more from gratitude than pride, more from the need to serve than to be served, that we have banded together, parents and children both, to cross the divides, and to produce KAAMULAN, a cultural show, in song, in dance, in rituals, and share them with you on January 19, 2008, at 7:00 P.M., Saturday, at the St. Vincent Ferrer School Auditorium.
“Kaamulan”, in Filipino dialect, simply means “the gathering”, or “celebration”. It is basically, an annual gathering of southern tribes, still conducted to this day, in the southern hinterlands of the Philippines. It is a gathering to celebrate creation, in thanksgiving for bountiful harvests, in gratefulness to the Creator, and to cherish traditions together in the most basic ways, in a world now both gone strange and complicated.
Our young people have worked at their conceptualization, interpretation, and at their rehearsals since March of this year, and our show has now come into shape and promise, built on the loving sharing and growing rapport between children and parents, among our choreographers and organizers and our participants.
Under the aegis of an evolving Parish and a most-wonderful faith we have all learned to cherish, we are finally growing into a mutual joy for Christian service. This cultural show is to the sole benefit of the Emmanuel Catholic Church building fund. It is already a benefit to the participants, simply from involvement. It is our loving intent, to share the fruit of our labors with you, and with the community.
A church is not just a building, it is a people united in the loving embrace of love and Jesus Christ. Join us in building a bigger and stronger assembly. Get a ticket for the show, for you, your family and your friends, donate to the Emmanuel building fund in the name of this endeavor, buy advertising space in our proposed souvenir program.
Come with us to The Gathering, celebrate with us as we sing and dance our thanksgiving to God. Join us as we seek, once again, to glorify the most wonderful wholeness of our Christian faith.
