Towards a new
Horizon
- For over 13 years now, the Holy Trinity Parish has been serving the
multitude of people surounding its Church in Barangay Pansol, Calamba,
Laguna. The rather small church that could hardly accomodate large
gatherings stands on a rented piece of property bounded by massive and
modern edifices and facilities of several privately-owned resorts. Limited
physical space, the Holy Trinity Parish has, nonetheless, survived to meet
the spiritual and other needs of its parishioners.

- In the year 1996, the Church was able to purchase an 800-square meter
lot across its present location. On October 13, 1996, the ground-breaking
ceremonies for the construction of the new Parish Church was held. But the
rites proved to the signal for a greater and more difficult task. After
spending some 130,000 thousands for billing materials alone to elevate the
surface of the property, the church finds itself still lacking of sufficient
funds to pursue its objectives. Presently, the church is in dire need of
support from its parishioners and other golden-hearted folks. The only
fund-raising project that has taken off is its "Pa-Raffle '97"
para sa Bagong Simbahan" last July 6 and whose proceeds did not really
suffice to finance the entire contruction. Fr. Jessie Somosierra, the
present parish priest, has left no stone unturned as soon as he took over
his assignment. Now, he is faced with the construction of this church. Yet
he is confident that the Holy Spirit will be there to guide him in this
task, with in full support of well-meaning and generous parishioner and
benefactors.
