The Roman Catholic Parish Church of St. John the Baptist (Parokya San Juan Mamuniag), San Juan, Ilocos Sur recently celebrated its Parish Fiesta last 22 June.
It was graced by the presence of his Most Rev. Marlo M. Peralta, D.D., the 7th Archbishop of Nueva Segovia with the Holy Mass concelebrated by Fr. Nicholas Dhelle Solis, OFMConv., the parish priest and with other priests of the Archdiocese.
The eucharistic celebration was remarkable and well participated by its parishioners, local government leaders and various organizations. Before the end of the Holy Mass, Fr. Alfonsus Panaligan, OFMConv. was introduced as an added member of the community of friars and was tasked to serve as an Assistant Parish Priest. Sumptious banquet for parishioners and guests was served after.
