SPECIAL CONCERNS
Layer Six
An area of concern that needs special attention in OLGP are the two roadblocks (walls) pre-
venting the access of parishioners to the Church proper. The two walls can be found blocking
the streets between (1) Maywood Village and Ireneville III, and (2) Jackielouville/ RGV Homes
and Ireneville I.
This problem has been on-going for years and has been the cause of many misunderstand-
ings and the lack of unity within the Parish. Also, because of the inconvenience brought about
by these structures, many parishioners from Maywood Village, Jackielouville Subdivision and
RGV Homes opt to attend mass services in other parishes.
OLGP Church
Proper
OLGP is servicing one developing community: Seacom Compound located along Sucat Road,
outside the official territorial boundary of the Parish. The compound has a land area of
approximately 6.7 hectares and has an estimated population of up to 1,500 persons.
To address the spiritual needs of the families in Seacom, a chapel was built within the
compound. Sunday Mass is celebrated here regularly at 9:30 AM. Catechism is given to all
parishioners before the beginning of each Mass. Apart from their spiritual needs, regular out-
reach programs are given to the residents of Seacom in the form of medical missions, scholar-
ship programs and gift-giving during Christmas. The parish is also planning to put up a soup
kitchen to improve the nutrition of residents particularly children.
