DBPG Souvenir Programme 2017

take advantage of the opportunity of having a
group who will regularly prayed over their
petitions. The Core Group was assigned on a
different week to take charge of the counting and
summarizes of the prayer petitions. The
Intercessory Ministry regularly meets every
Saturday for the praying over. Another milestone
for the DBPG.
Pilgrimage to different churches paves the way to
its 2 nd year. On this year the Core and Ministry
Heads had a whole day of activity of visiting and
praying in the churches in Bulacan.
Talking about Outreach, we had our first outreach
to Makati City Jail were we had a chance to give
gifts to about a 100 inmates. With the cooperation
and help of the Punongbayan and Araullo Credit
Cooperative, this program raises enough fund for
the food and some Christmas gifts for them.
Before the end the year, 16 people including the
Core and ministry officers had our 1 st regular
Servant Leaders Training. In this training we
learned about the different types of leadership in
preparation to the simultaneous ministry election
held every October.
Not to mention the 8:00 o clock in the morning
simultaneous prayers. During this time, every
member is encouraged to say a prayer for various
concerns. DBPG is known as every body’s partner
in prayer. And the many prayer concerns not only
from members but also from the many people who
trusted us will proved that the DBPG exist for a
mission.
DBPG had never gone out of important programs
that will answer to the needs of each members as
well as the parish in terms of involvement and
assistance.

Called to Lead, Called to Pray
Bro. Mike de Guzman – Core Head
Being called to be the prime movers towards the
New Evangelization as Pope Francis encourages
each and every one of us, its the Don Bosco Prayer
Group’s aspiration this 2015 to be LEADERS not
only in our community but in our Parish & Society
as well... The POWERHOUSE of Prayers. As the
saying goes, to be a GOOD Leader, you must also
be a GOOD Follower, which I dream each and
every member of the DBPG will live by thru Prayers
and Dedication. With these two traits and
direction, it will not be impossible for a Brother or
a Sister to achieve Modern Sainthood... and
become a BLESSING TO OTHER all THE TIME.

KAPATID KO, PASTOL KO
Bro. Riki Carreon – Core Head
Kapatid Ko, Pastol Ko! is a phrase sequence
derived from DBPG’s constant slogan for all its
recent annual outreaches, Kapatid Ko, Sagot Ko!
As a way of life, DBPG has made the battle cry,
Kapatid Ko, Sagot Ko! as a slogan for outreaches
where gift baskets are distributed to less fortunate
brothers and sisters. But more importantly,
Kapatid Ko, Pastol Ko! focuses on God’s challenge
that we are responsible to Him for other people on
helping fellow members and non-members as well
develop spiritual disciplines. It inspires members
to shepherd one another and together grow
spiritually. One opportunity that was introduced is
the provision of talks on the lives of saints every
2nd Thursday of the month. The group also
accepted the challenge slogan of Rev. Fr. Renato
―Degz‖ De Guzman, SDB, SJB Parish Priest and
DBPG’s Spiritual Director, Think Parish by
incorporating the Holy Hour as a regular part of
the Prayer Meeting every Thursday. Kapatid Ko,
Pastol Ko! really makes everyone aware that we are
to exhibit brotherly love toward our brothers and
sisters in Christ with a tender heart and a humble
mind thru shepherding partnership.
As a simple biblical background, the phrase ―my
brother’s keeper‖ occurs in the context of the story
of Cain and Abel in Genesis 4:1-9. After the Lord
God had expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden
of Eden for their disobedience, Cain killed his
brother Abel out of jealousy that God had found
Abel’s sacrifice acceptable, but He had rejected
Cain’s. After the murder, the Lord, knowing full
well what had happened, asked Cain where Abel
was. Cain’s response was "I do not know. Am I my
brother's keeper?"
