Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Parish which I featured here a couple of times (CLICK HERE and HERE) is celebrating her 50th birthday on October 13, 2008!!!!
The theme for the momentous event chaired by Parish Priest Fr. Edward Loberiano, CP is: OLPGV at 50! Journeying with Mary.

Commonly known as Dadiangas Parish or OLPGV, it is one of the only two parishes which are administered not by the Diocese of Marbel but by the Passionist Congregation.
Through the years, I have had the chance to hobnob and work with some of the Passionist priests assigned there namely:
- Fr. Paul Plaza, CP, (a very good homilist and preacher),
- Fr. Leo Acierto, CP, (my hardworking editor at the defunct parish tabloid, The Voyager),
- Fr. Brando Recaña, CP, (a good listener)
- Fr. Ramon Ramos, CP (his homilie s used to fill up the last mass every Sunday nite),
- Fr. Henry Free, CP (suplado but funny priest),
- Fr. Deo Sustiguer, CP, (serious but kind-hearted),
- Fr. Nonoy Plaza, CP, (just like his brother, another good homilist who strikes the heart and the soul),
- Fr. Gabriel Baldostamon, CP (a good friend of the family, can be fiery in his sermons but is very approachable, he is the first Pinoy passionist),
- Fr. Nonito Adorable, CP (our highschool pastor and still our batch’s favorite),
- Fr. Manny Gellez, CP (the humblest and most youthful passionist I’ve met), and
- Fr. James Oclarit, CP (the bravest priest I’ve met whom I accompanied to their Missions in Kiami, Malapatan).
These priests have touched my life and lives of many others and have continued to do so, wherever they may be assigned.
The OLPGV, although not the oldest parish in the Diocese (Glan and Lagao parishes are older), was where most of us were baptized, confirmed, first confessed, received Holy Communion and married.
The Parish has outlined a list of activities which started last October 1, 2008 to in celebration of this milestone. This includes a Trade Fair, Novena Masses from October 4 to 12, Kasalan sa Parokya (Mass Wedding), Children’s Fun Day, Tree Growing, Variety Show, Panulo sa Kadalanan, Motorcade and a Pontifical Mass on the fiesta day itself (October 13, 2008) to be presided by Bishop Dinualdo Gutierrez.
Incidentally, Bariles Republic has agreed to join the editorial board for a Souvenir Magazine that is being planned for the Golden Celebration.
To Parish Priest Fr. Edward, and the vicars (especially Fr. Manny Gellez, CP), parish staff, parish workers and lay leaders of OLPGV, happy 50th birthday!
Aaamen, amen, aaaaaaaaaamen! ajejeje

Good morning sir vel!
In addition, worth mentioning din sina Fr. Mar Em, CP, Fr. Vic Supranes, CP and of course, sinong makakalimot sa “bagsik” na Fr. Hilarion Walters, CP - all passionist priests na nakaserve din dito sa OLPGV during my teen age days ( u have an idea now how old i am).
am wishing now for the passionist congregation another 50 years of of chance to touch parishioners lives.
Mabuhay po ang mga Passionist Fathers and OLPGC church workers!
I mean, OLPGV workers pala and all parishioners! Congratulations! Job well done.

congratulations! dito talaga ako bininyagan! dito rin kami noon nagsisimba ng buong pamilya! ang maalala ko parish priest si fr. reginald arliss. gustong-gusto ko ang amoy ng halaman around the church noon… brings back really good memories… yung bell tower pilit kong abutin ang lubid. naabot ko nga minsan pero di ako ganun kalakas para mapatunog ang bell… subukan ko kaya ngayon…hehehehe!
ormans last blog post..nakakapagod.
sir orms, na remember mo ba rin yung tagahila ng lubid ng kampana as in, di naman kampanerang kuba (sic) parang s Manong Gabriel ata yun.. . I just dunno if siya pa rin ngaun. . . I haven’t been to OLPGV lately kasi, mas accessible para sa amin kasi ang st. michael.
Dyan din ako kinumpirmahan, confession, first communion at kinasal.
Sa San Lorenzo Ruiz Hall, every Sunday merong bible service dyan.. And every Saturday meron ding CYM service.. Muntik na akong naging sakristan sa simbahan na yan kung hindi lang nawala yong observation slip ko.. Ahehe! Kung nagkataon baka naging pari na ako ngayon.. Ahehe!
Ug dira ko cge kaon cotton candy na kulay pink ug pop corn. Ahehe!
wla nako nakaad2 dra sa cmbahan ni ba…
naiba na talaga ang loob ng OLPGV. maganda ang pagkakagawa ni architect mike ang. sosyal ang dating.. sayang nga lang at hindi na pinakalaki or inexpand ang area. i also can’t recall the name ng nagpapatunog ng kampana. i remember na yung anak nyang babae parang nabalitang na-rape yun noon. kaya di kami makalaag becoz of that incident.
ormans last blog post..nakakapagod.
Wow. ang galing. Daghang Salamat jud. Sori karon lang ko naka-comment. I am really grateful for accepting our invitation to offer your service… ang kapal ko. Salamat talaga.
General, join us in our Fiesta and Golden Jubilee celebration!
Happy 50th OLPGVP!!! dito sa church na ito ako nagka isip, dito ang aking first and real understanding ng aking christian life…3 years lang pala ang tanda ng Dadiangas Parish sa akin at sa Batch 78…ajejeh… kaya, yung ugat natin dito tumubo, di ba manay?
May the Good Lord and Mama Mary continue to bless and protect Gensan and its people! Amen!
Hi Orms
thanks for the nice comment on the interiors of the olpgv. see you at the fiesta day on October 3, kita kita tayo lahat doon at 9am
Happy Golden Anniversary of OPLGV Congatulations sa inyo and the rest of the Passionists
I was able to witness the first part of the mass yesterday in celebration of OLPGV’s 50th anniversary. It was a sight to behold - seeing passionist fathers concelebrating the mass with Bishop Dinualdo. I saw fathers hilarion, marito, nonito, manny, louie, and many many other passionist priests -
Too bad, i have to rush to Koronadal for a meeting that’s why I was not able to finish the fiesta mass.
Mabuhay kayo OLPGV actually I like your adoration chapel its 24 hours open we have choices in terms of hours in praise and worship to God dapat ganun rin sa Holy Cross Parish 6:30am til 6:30pm only after that close na sila pagnag OT ka sa ofis you have no time to adore already malayo kasi ang OLPGV sa aming mga taga Tambler.
it is the second oldest catholic church in gensan(before SPPP)
cno po ba ang parish priest d2????
sila ang mga pari nun sa GLAN…si fr. ramos dt tym , seminarista pa..
