A Parish for Others: Remembering. Celebrating. Believing

by: Fr. Steve Zabala - Parish Priest I am still on a high. I am still in awe. I have just finished my longest fiesta celebration with a parish in almost twenty-four years of ministry. From September 1 to November 30, we marked Christ the King Parish’s 40th anniversary with activities that came in rapid succession. Most of us grew up celebrating colorful Filipino fiestas. The gaily colored banderitas, the loud blasts of the drum and lyre band, the gyrating, percussive Ati-Atihan—all are cultural elements that draw us into the festive mood. Looking…continue reading →

Kariton ni Kiko Goes to CTK

by: Bing Del Rosario Kariton Ni Kiko (KnK) is a Cubao Diocese initiative to symbolize its concrete effort to support social programs, especially those that relate to “buhay,” representing the human person’s fundamental right to life, and “bahay,” representing the person’s basic need of shelter. “Kiko” refers to the two inspirations—Pope Francis and Saint Francis of Assisi, both advocates of going to the periphery, living with the poor, and smelling like the sheep. For forty-seven weeks, the pushcart moved from parish to parish, a week at a time, within the Cubao Diocese. It…continue reading →

Images of Faith: Behind the Scenes of a Photo Exhibit

by: Fred Del Rosario Not Many Pounced on the Idea at First. Perhaps, the Parish Pastoral officers (PPO) knew it would be daunting to mount a photo exhibit showing forty years of parish history. But being current president of the Camera Club of the Philippines, I had to make a pitch. Fortunately, Father Steve gave his thumbs-up. Photos came from different sources— Building the Kingdom coffee table book, parishioners’ and ministry photos, CTK’s FB posts, Bing del Rosario and myself. The target: forty photos that will give a glimpse of forty years of…continue reading →

The Story of a Song and a Parish Concert

by: Tessa Mangahas I was outvoted. During the initial planning for the parish’s 40th anniversary, some bright boy thought of staging a concert. I had humongous misgivings knowing the toil and major coordination it would entail. Some shared my anxieties. But eventually, the majority felt excited by the project. And Father Steve approved. Then, the “command’ to write the parish song from the parish priest. Good soldier and law-abiding citizen that I am, I obeyed. Surprisingly, the lyrics flowed seamlessly in less than a day. Blame that on several parish meetings and focused…continue reading →

Parish Youth Day

by: Teenie De Leon This Year's Youth Fiesta kick-off was extra special as it coincided with the culmination of the Year of the Youth. Thus, the title represented the gathering of all youth orgs in the parish: CTK Days with The Lord, CTK Knights, PREx Youth, and the Young Catholic Professionals. As envisioned, the event was similar to a fair. Each youth org had a table with games, exhibits, and other interactive activities. These encouraged the youth participants to join their orgs. Fr. Steve Zabala also played with the young parishioners. They enjoyed…continue reading →
