The annual gift-giving of the Lord’s Flock Catholic Community, “Marketplace” led by The Brethren Ministry on December 2, 2023, was uniquely significant, given the three-year hiatus from physical gatherings due to the pandemic. Under the theme, “Marketplace 2023 Goes Back To The Heritage,” this anticipated activity was eagerly executed with heartfelt joy and enthusiasm, while overcoming challenges along the way.
At the program’s commencement, TLF Elders, Tatay Bob and Soar, joyfully cut the ribbon, symbolizing the start of the festivities. They warmly welcomed all the recipients, expressing their delight in gathering at The Heritage to partake in the offerings and surprises prepared for them.
This much-awaited activity allowed the least among the brothers and sisters to shop for free from four thoughtfully prepared sections, dedicated to ladies, men, children, and groceries. Almost 150 qualified recipients benefited from this initiative; they enjoyed the prizes and raffles as well during the well-orchestrated, fun-filled program.
Sincere gratitude goes out to all the generous donors and hardworking individuals whose contributions and efforts played a vital role in making this event a resounding success.
To God be all the glory!
