Inmates at the provincial jail have been quite occupied during the last couple of months making big and small Christmas lanterns that are sold to the organizers of “Pamaskong Parol sa mga Kapuspalad kong Utol”. In the spirit of sharing and camaraderie, parishioners from selected barangays are set to buy these lanterns in return. They parishioners are given the opportunity to hang the lanterns in giant Christmas trees installed inside local chapels or at designated spots in participating schools.
This newly introduced ritual of lantern hanging are undertaken nightly before the start of Misa de Gallo with parishioners lining up to await their turn as Christmas melodies fill the air. Barangay parishes that have signed up for this fund drive organized by the Parish Financial Council include Tanza, Bantad, Tampus, Santol, Bangbangalon, Sawi, Maybo, Malbog, Agot, Bamban, Maygayo and Isok 2. Over-all coordinator is Ma.Concepcion Mariposque.
Participating schools are St. Mary’s College and Education Systems Technological Institute (ESTI). At the Boac Cathedral, several Christmas trees are expected to be installed at the churchyard to accommodate the huge number of parishioners attending the traditional Misa de Gallo.
A Thanksgiving Mass to be attended by the organizers and barangay supporters will be celebrated at the conclusion of the fund drive with an audio-visual presentation on the various stages of “Pamaskong Parol” activities.
