Message
Congratulations to the town of San Andres on the occasion of its town Fiesta to commemorate the feast day of its venerable Patron, St. Andrew, the apostle!
It is fitting that you give honor to a saint who together with his brother and co-apostle Simon Peter, faithfully accepted Jesus’ invitation to transform themselves from fisher men to “fishers of men”. Andrews’s entire life was a display of obedience and dedication to his work in spreading the good news of God’s teaching to the world. His humility was exemplified by his own expression of unworthiness to be crucified in the same manner as Jesus Christ. Thus, his great love and devotion to Christ was displayed through his crucifixion in a form of an x-shape cross.
As you are celebrating this special occasion in our town, I strongly encourage you to follow St. Andrew’s example of selflessness and concern for others. I encourage you to responsibly make occasions such as this fruitful and beneficial, so that your town mates can developed their skills and talents to become more productive members of society. As you work diligently and pray for blessings of god health and fortune, may you developed sense of unity and solidarity to move together towards your common goals.
Dios Mabalos!
Sgd. Richard J. Gordon
