57 YEARS OF FAITH, NOW SOLEMNLY DEDICATED: The Solemn Dedication of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish Church and Altar (Part III)
Gathered in Grace: One Heart. One Faith. One Family From the solemnity of the Eucharistic celebration, the parish community then moved into grateful fellowship, gathering for the thanksgiving dinner and program at Gallardo Hall of Claret School of Quezon City. Around the table, the community celebrated not only a historic milestone in its 57-year journey but also the grace of being one heart, one faith, and one family -- a people gathered around Christ at the altar and sent forth in gratitude and mission.
Hosted by Formation Ministry Coordinator Mia Inocencio and Gio Piscasio, the evening was a beautiful expression of the joy that comes when a community pauses to celebrate not only what God has done, but also the people through whom His grace continues to work.
A New Chapter in a 57-Year Journey
The solemn dedication of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish Church and Altar did not mark the beginning of the church’s life of worship. For 57 years, generations of parishioners have already gathered within these walls to pray, celebrate the Eucharist, receive the Sacraments, hear God’s Word, mourn, rejoice, serve, and grow together as a community of faith.
Rather, September 7, 2026, marked a solemn new chapter in that continuing history.
The dedication of the church and altar now stands as a visible sign of the parish’s enduring vocation: to be a community gathered around Christ, formed by the Word and the Eucharist, united in faith and communion, and sent forth in mission.
Under the loving patronage of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and in the missionary spirit of St. Anthony Mary Claret, the parish continues its journey as one heart, one faith, and one family -- gathered to worship, formed in Christ, and sent to proclaim the Gospel.
After 57 years of faith, the church and altar have been solemnly dedicated to God. And from this altar, the parish is once again sent forth to live its mission -- so that in all things God may be glorified.
