New Journeys, Unending Grace
Goodbyes feel heavy when hearts have grown close, yet we let you go with deep gratitude. To Rev. Fr. Earl Castillo and Rev. Fr. Phil Rosales โ you were more than shepherds; you became family. You walked beside us in our brightest joys and quietest sorrows, your words lighting our way and your presence wrapping us in comfort. Thank you for every Mass, every gentle counsel, and for the vision you shared in building new mission stations and strengthening our GKK communities. You have not only served us โ you have touched our souls, leaving gentle footprints that will never fade.
As you step into new fields of service, we send you forth with our love and prayers. Though you move to new places, the faith you planted and the kindness you showed stay rooted in us. We hold close the truth that parting is not forever โ it is only a pause until we meet again. May Our Mother of Perpetual Help guide your steps, keep you safe, and bless your ministry abundantly. Those who have loved and guided us never truly leave; they live on in the faith they helped grow.
