Cluster 2 has officially wrapped up the Vacation Church School 2026 Training!

📖 Vacation Church School 2026
“Ako ay Kawangis ng Diyos”

The day started with a meaningful Opening Worship led by Msgr. Numeriano Maquiran Jr., setting the tone for a faith-filled and exciting training experience. This year’s VCS theme was then introduced by John Reyme Capillo, DYEC President, reminding everyone of our identity and worth as children made in the image of God.

To equip our future catechists and facilitators, Mam Elizabeth Siason, Chairwoman of the Committee on Christian Education, together with Sir Ken Gayat, DYEC Deputy Secretary, and Jess Barretto, DYEC Auditor, shared fun, creative, and effective methods in teaching and facilitating the VCS Program.

Participants were grouped according to their teaching levels:
👶 Nursery/Kindergarten
📚 Younger Elementary
✏️ Middle Elementary
🎓 Older Elementary

The training became even more exciting through interactive workshops, lesson demonstrations, collaborative activities, and learning the lively VCS theme song together. The training ended with a closing prayer and benediction from Fr. Archie Magbanua.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our host parish, IFI Dancalan, for the warm welcome, generous accommodation, and unwavering support throughout the training.

To all our dedicated young catechists and volunteers — thank you for your passion, energy, and willingness to serve the Church and the children. Your commitment continues to inspire hope and faith in the next generation!

Padayon sa pag-alagad, Kabataang Aglipayano!

YIFI Padayon!
