From the archives: Thanksgiving Mass for Lingap Bayanihan’s First Anniversary

Last June 5, 2026, Lingap Bayanihan marked its first anniversary through a Thanksgiving Mass held at the Hospicio de San Jose Chapel, offering gratitude to God for a year of blessings, meaningful service, and unwavering commitment to our mission.

The Eucharistic Celebration was graciously presided over by Rev. Fr. Christopher Jeffrey L. Aytona, Spiritual Adviser of Frassati Society - Philippines. According to management, around 250 faithful gathered for the celebration, including our volunteers, partners, the residents of Hospicio de San Jose, and friends who have journeyed with us throughout our first year.

As we reflected on the blessings of the past year, we gave thanks for every opportunity to serve, every life touched, and every act of compassion that strengthened the spirit of bayanihan within our organization. The celebration also renewed our commitment to continue building communities rooted in faith, hope, solidarity, and love.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Rev. Fr. Christopher Jeffrey L. Aytona, O.P. for graciously presiding over our Thanksgiving Mass and for leading us in prayer as we celebrated this important milestone. We are deeply thankful for his presence and spiritual guidance.

To everyone who joined us in commemorating this meaningful celebration, thank you for being part of our journey. Your prayers, generosity, and unwavering support continue to inspire us as we begin another year of serving communities with faith and compassion.

One year down. A lifetime of service ahead.
