'Awit ng
Papuri kay Maria'
The Three
Kings Parish staged a fund-raising musical concert entitled "Awit ng Papuri
kay Maria" last October 29.
It was a
triple challenge -- making a bunch of amateurs sing unfamiliar songs, as
tribute to the Virgin Mary, and before an assortment of VIPs that
included Cabanatuan Bishop Sofronio Bancud, Nueva Ecija Vice Gov. Edward
Thomas Joson and Gapan City Mayor Ernesto Natividad.
But they
pulled it off, judging from the enthusiastic reponse of the audience that
packed the National Shrine of the Divina Pastora, which that night was
transformed into a concert hall complete with high-tech sound and lighting
systems.
The show
featured the original compositions of Rev. Fr. William S. Villaviza, resident
priest of the parish and director for sacred music of the Diocese of Cabanatuan.
Easily the
most applauded number was the trio of parish priest Rev. Fr. Onet
Mangahas, Fr. Villaviza and former parish priest Rev. Fr. Elmer Mangalinao.
Other suprising
performances during the nearly two-hour concert were those by the "Golden
Girls", a bunch of sexagenarians who proved that there's life after 60;
Three Kings Youth Choir; Angels Choir; the men of the Knights of Columbus,
in full regalia, who appropriately sang a tune with a martial touch; El
Shaddai; CFC; and the Familia Choir from Cabanatuan City.
A number
of priests led by Rev. Fr. Michael Veneracion attended the affair which
also served as an impromptu homecoming for former Three Kings Parish priests
-- Monsignor Felipe Dayao, Jr., Rev. Fr. Rene Vigilia and Rev. Fr. Mangalinao
-- and former assistant priests -- Rev. Fr. Edwin Beley and Rev. Fr. Carlos
Padilla.
When told
after the concert that the one song performed by the trio of priests left
the audience hanging, Fr. Mangahas said, "That was intentional."
A hint of
another concert in the making, perhaps?
