LFC's 4th Anniversary

Introduction before the Thanksgiving Mass:

Good afternoon, brothers and sisters. Thank you for coming to celebrate the feast of San Lorenzo Ruiz, the first Filipino Saint and Patron of the Lay Formation Center.

Our Eucharistic Celebration will be presided over by the Most Rev. Renato P. Mayugba, the Auxiliary Bishop of our Archdiocese, to be assisted by Fr. Mario Dominic C. Sanchez.

Our liturgy today will be highlighted by the reading of the life story of San Lorenzo and companions after the presider’s greeting, and the saying of the Oratio Imperata after Holy Communion.

We are offering this mass for all the victims of the tropical storm, "Ondoy" and for those who are still suffering because of the floods in Manila and Central Luzon.

We shall also be praying for all LFC’s benefactors, especially the priests of the Archdiocese, for the establishment of this Lay Formation Center. We remember our beloved Archbishop, Oscar V. Cruz the builder of LFC and our incoming Archbishop, Socrates B. Villegas who celebrates his 49^th birthday also today. We also include the prayers of the many men and women and children who have come to LFC for retreats, recollections and seminars in the past four years.

A simple thanksgiving celebration with the college seminarians and friends from the Biblical Apostolate and the Family and Life Apostolate.
