Good morning, Graduates, Completers ,
Teachers, brothers and sisters, welcome to our thanksgiving
mass. During today’s mass we celebrate the success of our
graduates and completers. Over the past years, these

learned and worked together to overcome them.
Today, we celebrate their achievements, and together with
them, we present our hopes, plans for the future, and joys
to the Lord. We thank God for all the blessings we have
received and ask him to grant us the courage to continue
our mission of being witnesses to our faith. Please stand and
join in the singing of our opening hymn….

5
 “When will the new moon be over,” you ask, “that
we may sell our grain, and the sabbath, that we may
display the wheat?” We will diminish the containers
for measuring, add to the weights, and fix our scales
for cheating!
6 We will buy the lowly man for silver, and the poor
man for a pair of sandals; even the refuse of the wheat
we will sell!”
9 On that day, says the Lord GOD, I will make the sun
set at midday and cover the earth with darkness in
broad daylight.
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your
songs into lamentations. I will cover the loins of all
with sackcloth and make every head bald. I will make
them mourn as for an only son, and bring their day to
a bitter end.
11 Yes, days are coming, says the Lord GOD, when I
will send famine upon the land: Not a famine of bread,
or thirst for water, but for hearing the word of the
LORD.

Tanda ng bawat pusong 'pagkat inibig Mo
Ngayo'y nananalig, nagmamahal sa 'Yo
1.Tinapay na nagmula sa butil ng trigo
Pagkaing nagbibigay ng buhay Mo
At alak na nagmula sa isang tangkay ng ubas
Inuming nagbibigay lakas (repeat chorus)
2.Lahat ng mga lungkot, ligaya't pagsubok
Lahat ng lakas at kahinaan ko
Inalay ko'ng lahat, buong pagkatao
Ito ay isusunod sa 'yo(Repeat chorus)
3.Ang bayang inibig mo, ngayo'y umaawit
Sa 'Yo ay sumasamba't nananalig
Umaasang diringgin ang bawat dalangin
Sa alay na ito'y nakalakip(repeat chorus)

father
All: : May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for
the praise and glory of his name, for our good and the
good of all his holy Church.
Prayer over the offerings
Priest: o Lord, we bring to your altar these offerings of our

transform them into the sacrament of our redemption
through Christ our lord.
All: Amen
PREFACE
PRIEST: The Lord be with you.
All: and with your spirit.
PRIEST: Lift up your hearts.
All: We lift them up to the Lord.
PRIEST: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
All: it is right and just.
Priest: It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,
always and everywhere to give thanks, Lord, Holy father,
almighty and eternal God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
For through this paschal Mystery, he accompanied the
marvelous deed, by which he has freed us from the yoke of
sin and death, summoning us to glory of being now called
a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people
for your own possession, to proclaim everywhere your
mighty works, for you have called us out of darkness into
your own wonderful light.
And so, with angels and archangels, with thrones and
Dominions, and with all the hosts and powers of heaven,
we sing the hymn of your glory as without end we
proclaim:
Holy ( to be sung)
Santo,santo,santo,panginoong Diyos na makapangyarihan!
Napupuno ang langit at lupa ng kaluwalhatian mo
Osana,osana sa kaitaasan, osana,osana sa kaitaasan.
Pinagpala ang naparirito sa ngalan ng panginoon
Osana,osana sa kaitaasan, osana,osana sa kaitaasan.
EUCHARISTIC PRAYER II
Priest: you are indeed holy, o lord, the fount of all holiness.
Make holy therefore, these gifts, we pray, by sending down
your spirit upon them like the dewfall, so that they may
become for us the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
At the time he was betrayed and entered willingly into his
passion, he took bread and, giving thanks, broke it, and give
it to his disciples, saying:
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT, FOR THIS IS MY
BODY, WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.
In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the
chalice and once more giving thanks, he gave it to his
disciples saying:
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT, FOR THIS IS
THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND
ETERNAL COVENANT, WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR
YOU AND FOR MANY FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, DO
THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.
The Mystery of Faith
To be sung: When we Eat this Bread
When we eat this bread and drink this cup
We proclaim your death, O Lord
Until you come again, until you come again
The priest recites a prayer, then he takes the chalice and
the paten with the host and raising both. He says:
The DOXOLOGY and GREAT AMEN
Priest: through him, and with him, and in him, O God,
almighty father, in the unity of the holy spirit, all glory and
honor is yours, forever and ever
All: (recited) AMEN
THE COMMUNION RITE
After the chalice and paten have been set down, the
priest, with hands joined says:
Priest: At Savior’s command and formed by divine teaching,
we dare to say:
All: Our Father (to be sung)
Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us, hhhmmm…
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us, deliver us
from e..vil. hhmm..
With hands extended, the priest alone continues, saying
Priest: Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil… as we
wait the blessed hope and the coming of our savior, Jesus
Christ.
The people conclude the prayer acclaiming:
All: For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now
and forever.
THE SIGN OF PEACE
Priest: The peace of the Lord be with you always
All: and with your spirit
Priest: Let us offer each other the sign of peace.
Lamb of God: (to be Sung)
