CHOIR for INSTALLATION of New Archbishop

Fr. Julius (liturgist), Frs. Jerry and Fernan (music directors), Jun & Maan (instrumentalists) and Leo (conductor) meet at LFC to make their suggestions for the liturgical music to be used during the installation of the incoming Archbishop. The choir will be comprised of about 100 representatives from the different parish choirs in the Archdiocese, the same group that sang during the Chrism Mass last April (see picture below - the choir stayed at the choir loft). The venue of the choir practices will be at the LFC Pavillion.

Vocation and Mission of LFC

Christifidelis Laici, the 1985 Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation of Pope John Paul II on the Vocation and Mission of the Lay Faithful in the Church and in the World, speaks very eloquently about the formation of the lay faithful. According to this document, the laity should receive a complete and integrated formation, one which bears its fruit in every sphere of their existence and activity.

1) The spiritual formation of the laity – their continual growth in communion with Christ is nourished by the help to holiness offered by the Church.

2) Doctrinal formation – which will enable them to explain to the world the reason for their hope. Systematic catechesis is also necessary.

3) A proper formation of a social conscience, especially in the Church’s social teaching.

4) An integrated program of formation that cultivates the human values and skills necessary for the lay faithful’s apostolic activities.

God is the first formator of the laity. The Church for her part also takes part in forming the lay faithful through the ministry of teaching and celebration of the sacraments. The Lay Formation Center exists for this purpose.
