With hearts overflowing with gratitude, the Sto. Rosario Parish Youth Ministry, joyfully celebrated their 1st Anniversary last May 24, 2026. What started as a simple gathering of young people with a passion to serve God has grown into a community united by faith, love, and a desire to make a difference in the lives of others.

As part of the anniversary celebration, we conducted a feeding activity to share God's love to the poorest of the poor children in our community. More than providing meals, we aimed to bring joy, encouragement, and kindness to every person we encountered. Seeing the smiles on the faces of these children reminded us of the true essence of ministry—to serve others with compassion and reflect Christ's love through our actions.

This anniversary is not only a celebration of our accomplishments but also a reminder of our mission. We pray that God will continue to strengthen and guide us as we reach more young people, build meaningful relationships, and serve our community with humility and love. May our ministry continue to be a light that shines brightly, leading others closer to Him.

To God be all the glory for a wonderful year filled with growth, fellowship, learning, and service. As we look forward to the years ahead, we remain committed to living out our faith and making a positive impact wherever God calls us.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in making this celebration meaningful and successful. Together, we will continue to grow, serve, and share God's love to other people and in our community.

🙏❤️ Happy 1st Anniversary, Youth Ministry! Here's to many more years of faith, service, and God's abundant blessings!

As we celebrate the Birthday of the Church during the Pentecost Sunday last May 24, 2026, The Sto. Rosario Parish Youth Ministry also celebrated their 1st Anniversary with hearts full of gratitude and joy. This day marks a year of God's endless grace, love, and faithfulness in guiding the community of young people closer to Him.

Over the past year, we have shared countless moments of worship, fellowship, service, learning, and growth. We have witnessed friendships blossom, faith deepen, and hearts transformed through God's presence in our lives. Through every challenge and every blessing, He has remained our source of strength, hope, and inspiration.

This Anniversary Mass is not only a celebration of how far we have come but also a reminder of the mission entrusted to us—to be disciples of Christ, to serve others with love, and to become instruments of His light in our families, schools, communities, and beyond.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our parish priest, young leaders, parents, and every young person who has been part of this beautiful journey. Your dedication, support, and commitment have helped build a vibrant and faith-filled youth community.

As we begin another year together, we pray that God continues to bless and guide our ministry. May we remain united in faith, passionate in service, and steadfast in our commitment to follow Christ wherever He leads us.
