DECEMBER 2008: CHRISTMAS PARTY


Two thousand year s ago, our Lord Jesus Christ left his heavenly home to dwell with us. That is the ultimate act of love, the greatest gift that anyone can receive. SHEC’s own way of reflecting this example is its presence among the poor, reaching out to them as God did to humankind.

To remember and celebrate the incarnation story, a Christmas party was held on December 20, 2008 at the grounds of St Hannibal Subdivision Phase 2. It was graced by no less than President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, along with Pasay City Vice Mayor Antonio “Tony” Calixto and Congressman Dr. Jose Antonio “Lito” Roxas.

Mass was celebrated by Fr. Bruno Rampazzo, after which gifts were distributed as a reminder to beneficiaries of the real reason for the celebration – the gift of salvation through Christ.
