CTK Parish Life In The Spirit Prayer Community

CTK Parish Life In The Spirit Prayer Community (INSTITUTED by CTK Parish August 1999) celebrates 20 Years of Spiritual Renewal Service!

IN THE BEGINNING
In mid-1999, the main builder of the CTK Parish, Msgr. Jaime Mora, expressed his desire to reinforce the active life in the parish with a deeper more potent spiritual support. He told Jess de la Fuente that he remembered that he was touched by an earlier Life in the Spirit program he attended with other priests and religious, conducted by US based Fr Robert de Grandis. By Divine providence, the Parish Education Ministry, then headed by Dr Luz Corpus and the Council Head Chito Manhit had similar plans.

The Salt and Light for Christ Community (SLCC) was invited to conduct the its LSS with preparatory sessions arranged by the LSS No. 1 Coordinator Benny and Chita Araw with Fr Larry Tan, SDB as the LSS Spiritual Director. Members of SLCC and the Baas Loob sa Diyos Community (BLD) from the parish and their other members volunteered to help shepherd and administer the LSS. To bolster his firm commitment, Msgr Mora not only attended the LSS the weekend of Aug 27-28,1999 but had our Asst. Parish Priest Fr Bong Cabrera join too!

He personally invited heads and senior members of the various organizations in the Parish. In the LSS Talk on Growth, he introduced his thoughts on the CTK Formation Program. Thus, began the CTK Parish LSS Prayer Community. Growth teachings and weekly Prayer Meetings followed to sustain and enrich the spiritual Life in the Spirit.

HEALING MINISTRY
Among the Charisms identified for the community, Intercessory and Healing emerged strongly as priority. And so, while the weekly Prayer Meetings always included Intercessory Prayers as an essential part A the Prayer Meeting, the First Monday Healing Mass became a normal schedule and the entire parish including relatives and friends were invited. Different priests were invited to celebrate the Mass and conduct the Healing Service. Thus emerged the Healing Ministry headed by Ate Mila del Fonso with Ate Pricilla Pacheco.

Every Feb 11, the Feast of Our Lady Of Lourdes is dedicated to the healing of the sick, CTK LSS Prayer Community and the HEALING Ministry sponsor the World Day of the Sick Healing Mass at the Main Church. Inner Healing Seminar/Workshops Ave also been conducted by Fr. Mario Bije.

Over 700 Parishioners, relatives and friends have been blessed by joining the LSS Program. Be one of them!
