5. Sino ang mga parishioners?
Siya ay isang
bininyagan sa ating
Panampalataya at
nakatira sa ating
Sambayanan. Hindi

miyembro ng parish
organizations.

6. Ang mali ay mali kahit na
ginagawa ito ng marami.
Ang tama ay tama kahit
na ang gumagawa ay
kaunti.
(Wrong is wrong even
many are doing it.
Right is right even though
only a few are doing it.)
Morality is not a majority
or plurality but what fits to
truth or REALITY. 6

7. Nakasanayan na ,
itama na….. ituwid na!
Maling Kaalaman Iwasan para Hindi
Mauwi sa Kagulahan.
Tanggapin muna ng mga magulang ang
Sakramento ng Kasal bago pabinyagan ang
kanilang mga Anak.
Mga Adult Baptism ay hinidi pareho sa Infant
Baptism – Magkatekismo muna at sa
Simbahan gagawin hindi sa mga Kapilya.

8. Ang BEC ay ang Munting Parokya. Ang Lahat ng

sa BEC kasi doon siya nakatira.
Practice this Principle in our parish:
(Diversity in Accidentals,, Unity in Substance,
Charity in All Things and Above all.)

authority is exercised; the ordinary manner
of determining them is by assigning a
territory subject to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the parish priest. 16

17. “The parish is not principally a
structure, a territory, a building.
The parish is first of all a community
of faithful…that is the task of
the parish today; to be a
community…Make yourselves
builders of
communities in which, after the
examples of the first community,
the Word lives and acts.” Pope John
Paul II 17

106. Successful parishioners are those who are
not satisfied at merely being a member of a
parish. They are those who, among other
things, believe in the adventure of being
Catholic, believe in other parishioners and
see the parish as the spiritual epicenter of
life.
Who are successful parishioners?
106

107. 1) Believe in the Adventure of
Being Catholic. This kind of
parishioner is not afraid to risk, to
innovate, to ask questions, and
never is quite satisfied with the
status quo.
The Seven Secrets of
Successful Catholics,
107

108. 2) Believe in Other Parishioners. The
successful parishioner provides the positive
energy that affirmation always yields.
108

109. 3) See the Parish as the Spiritual
Epicenter of Their Life. To the successful
parishioner, the parish is the Church
109

110. 4) Do Not Always Have to
Win or Be Right. The
successful parishioner is a
team player who tries to
work toward worthwhile
goals that are good for the
whole church community,
even though he or she may
not totally agree with the
ways those goals are being
pursued.
110

111. 5) Are Proud Enough of the Parish to
Represent It Well. Successful parishioners
are ambassadors for their parish. Without
being boastful, they are proud of their
parish's accomplishments, presence in the
community, future plans.
111

112. 6) Are Not Members, But Disciples.
Membership has a static sound
to successful parishioners. Quite frankly,
it's not good enough for them. Attending
or "doing their obligation" is not sufficient
for this most important part of their life.
112

113. 7) Believe in the Power of Prayer
and the Eucharist. Successful
parishioners do not look at the
Eucharist as a reward for their
good behavior. They know well
their sins, shortcomings,
impatience, anger, greed, lack of
charity. But they also understand
that the love of God transcends all
their failings and the Eucharist is a
testament to a love that will never
abandon them. 113
