Bishop Gerardo Alminaza, revered for his unwavering commitment to his congregation and his steadfast dedication to the Church, recently marked a significant milestone in his spiritual journey: his 38th anniversary as a priest. For nearly four decades, Bishop Alminaza has served as a beacon of faith, guiding his parishioners with compassion and wisdom. His leadership has been instrumental in nurturing a vibrant and thriving community, where the values of love, compassion, and service are upheld with unwavering devotion.
This year’s celebration holds particular significance as the parish commemorates its 15th patronal fiesta since its foundation as a mission station and its 3rd patronal fiesta as a fully-fledged parish. It is a time of joyous reflection, as parishioners come together to honor their patron saint, St. Peregrine Laziosi, known for his miraculous healing powers and unwavering faith. Under Bishop Alminaza’s guidance, the Parish of St. Peregrine Laziosi has flourished, becoming not just a place of worship, but a beacon of hope and a source of strength for the community it serves. As they celebrate this milestone, they look forward with renewed faith and commitment to continue their journey of spiritual growth and service to others.
