In my own perspective, the Fellowship Committee has always played an important role in any activities of the Filipino Chaplaincy such as 4SM, St. Joseph Fiesta, Lenten activities, Recollection and any occasion for that matter.  Before the event, I almost always have sleepless nights thinking about the food to offer, if we will have enough or if the people I have called will respond, etc.  But the Holy Spirit has always been with us all the time and the food if not enough is always more than we can consume.

Without the special participation of my committee members as well as the assistance and support from the different organizations, this special task would not be as successful as it has ever been.   I found all of them to be very cooperative and supportive in any way they can to provide a wholesome service to the community.

I am still working full time and only have spare time to provide any service I could give to enable me to fulfill this role.  But I found it very gratifying when you have such wonderful members who are always willing to help even without any words to say.  The people who have been our contacts among the religious organizations are always there to assist and support even for short notice or advice.  They have always been very enthusiastic and eager to extend their participation not only in the Fellowship but also in the Liturgy every time I give them a call.  For this, I sincerely and greatly appreciate their efforts as being valuable members of the Filipino Chaplaincy.  They have always proven their worth and lending hands whenever the need arises.  I salute them all.

The Filipino Chaplaincy will not stop in its ministerial work to the community and because of this I will continually beset you for your contribution in its activities and projects.  I trust and hope that my fellow members and the members of the organizations are still willing and able.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for very much for everything.  I know the last was not the end of my call but always a beginning.  I know by heart that you are always there for Fr. Raning and the Filipino Chaplaincy.

God bless.
