Thanksgiving Mass and Groundbreaking


October 29, 2006 is indeed a blessed day. After coming from the blessing of the houses and subdivision in Barangay 156, Tramo, Pasay City, now a thanksgiving to the Lord is held for the St. Hannibal Homeowners Association, Phase 11. This is again presided by His Eminence Gaudencio Gardinal Rosales, DD. Archbishop of Manila. It is a blessed day because when the ceremonies started, the rain stopped to fall. What a beautiful day!
