Every Christian ought to be grateful for the gift of priesthood, we should be grateful to Jesus who
instituted it. We must express this gratitude not only in showing reverent respect but also by offering our
prayers and good works for priestly vocations.

Ladies and gentlemen to pay homage to our dear celebrant! We will witness a series of presentations to
be staged to us by the selected students of Catabaan Elementary School, Dapa Central Elementary
School and the teachers of Don Enrique Navarro Memorial School which will also be followed by the
presentation of the SIARELCO family.

Let’s give them a resounding applause!

Sharing the same feeling of pride and joy for this wonderful blessing God bestowed upon us, is no less
than the mother of the Municipality of Dapa. Friends! Let us set our hands together for Hon. Mayor Yulie
Y. Ruaya, for her message.

of presentations will be given to us by Dapa National High Schoo teachers, selected students of Siargao
National Science High School and San Nicolas School and SIIT_________________

Dones: Thank you dancers!

Many Centuries ago, St Paul wrote to the Church in Ephesus: “When Christ ascended on high led a host
of captives and he gave gifts to men. And his gift were that some should be apostles, some prophets,
some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up
the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of Son of God”
Friends! To stand as living proof to this testament, let us all welcome our newly-ordained priest: REV. FR.
GLENN SIOHAN DONOSO, DCS for his message.

Jane: Thank you and congratulations Fr. Glen!

The gift of priesthood is God’s Gift to us! It’s God’s answer to our prayers! Hence, who could be happier
and prouder this time seeing their son following the path of the Lord and received his priceless gift but
the parents of our dear celebrant. At this juncture, we will now hear a response message to be given by
Mr. and Mrs. Exuperio R. Donoso.

A big hand for them please!

Dones: This celebration wouldn’t be as fruitful as it is without the support provided by these wonderful
parishioners! To formally give his Word of Thanks… Let us all welcome God’s instrument behind the
success of this celebration: Rev. Fr. Juls M. Dayola

God’s blessing be upon you we pray

As you walk the journey of life in the Holy Priesthood of Christ

Our love and prayers will follow you

Our blessings will support

May you remain faithful to Him forever and to be a blessing to all

Congratulations Rev. Fr. Glenn S. Donoso, for accepting the call, the vocation to be work in the vineyard
of the Lord
