Happy birthday, Rev. Fr. John Arthur P. Bartolome! Your altar servers are beyond grateful for the love, dedication, and spiritual guidance you continue to give not just to our ministry, but to the entire parish. Your presence has been a constant reminder of God’s faithfulness, and serving with you has brought us closer to Christ in ways we’ll always carry with us. May your heart be filled with the same joy and peace you’ve shared with so many. We thank God for you, Father!
