On January 31, 2026, the Memorial of St. John Bosco, Our Lady of Sorrows Parish (OLSP) in Pasay City welcomed the First-Class Relic of St. Carlo Acutis, marking a significant moment in the life of the parish and the Pauline Family. OLSP is the only parish in the Philippines administered by priests and brothers of the Society of St Paul.

As we near the close of the 2025 Jubilee Year with the theme “Pilgrims of Hope,” we are invited by the Church to pause and reflect on a truth that touches us all—our mortality. In just a few weeks, we will celebrate Christmas, the birth of Emmanuel, God-with-us, who is Life himself. But before we rejoice in that beginning, the Church asks us to look towards the end—our end. As the liturgical calendar also draws to a close, we are reminded that every journey, including ours, passes through death.

In a heartwarming celebration of faith and family, the Society of St Paul, Philippines-Australia Province, through its Human Resource Management and Development (HRMD) Department, organized a mass wedding for its lay collaborators who wished to receive the Sacrament of Matrimony. The event took place on October 4, 2025, at Our Lady of Sorrows Parish in Pasay City, followed by a reception and fellowship at Alberione Hall in Makati City.
