| Crusaders of the Divine Church of Christ at their favorite spot. |
Amid the cold brought by intermittent rain on Nov. 25, about 350 members of the Crusaders of the Divine Church of Christ, Mariners Hong Kong Chapter gathered to celebrate their 35th year anniversary at Mariners Hill Garden in Tsimshatsui.
The church group started the celebration with a morning mass, followed by a program which included dancing and singing.
Administrator Prince Estrelito V. Magliba graced the occasion and urged the members to improve their economic status by doing well in their respective employers and to be resilient in facing the problems that arise when working abroad.
Magliba announced that about 400 members have availed of the church’s “fly now pay later” scheme devised for those who want to go overseas but don’t have the means for it. He said the scheme has been in place for the past four years.
Another service is the advance summer class for elementary school kids. In just a year, he said about 1,000 children have joined the program, which uses the church as classroom, and the teachers are all volunteer church members.
The program ended with a lunch fellowship among members. – Marites Palma
