Around the year 2003, Mom was working on building her chapel.  She told us she wanted to give back something to the community and so she thought of a chapel where people can pray and worship the Lord.  And with the help of many friends and family, Sto. Rosario Chapel came to life in 2006 sc0000b70c.jpg

Mom had passed away in January 2007 ( My Other Mother January 30, 2007 ) .  We were very happy that her wish came true and that she was able to build her chapel sc0000e5fc.jpg

We were able to celebrate mass on her 40th day with just the immediate familydsc_0009.JPGdsc_0010.JPGdsc_0034.JPG

 And though the chapel was built and the structure was there, there were several things that were not yet finished.  With the initiative of James and John, last March they had the idea that we should try to finish the chapel by Mom’s birthday which is today.

So we visited the chapel with the help of Mom Menchu and Edgar…dsc_5227.JPGdsc_5249.JPGdsc_5252.JPG

After assessing the situation, just a few finishing touches on the facade and some needed materials inside the church were needed.  Thanks to Edgar for designing and mobilizing to meet the deadline

We dedicate this chapel to Mom and we remember her today on her birthday.  We miss her!  But we know that she is happily with the Lord in Heaven!  Pray for us always Mom.  We love you!

    Hi Rica. I am very happy to play even a small part in helping Tita Carmeling’s dream come true 🙂

    Thanks Mart for always supporting James and the family. I think more than the financial support, James just wanted his closest friends to be part of the dream of his Mom who means a lot to him.
