The Philippines became a Province in November 1994 in the main house of the compound in New Manila, Quezon City. As the Sisters increased in number, a bigger conference hall, chapel, and another house was needed to accommodate all the Sisters during assemblies. On October 14, 2005, the new Provincial House was blessed which became the third house of the Pastorelle Sisters in #20 Broadway Avenue, corner 5th Street, New Manila, Quezon City, Philippines.
The Provincialate Community is the seat of the Province of the Pastorelle Sisters in the Philippines. It is composed of Sisters engaged in the different ministries, namely: Sr. Brenda Balingasa, SJBP, as Provincial Superior, Sr. Francisca Felix, SJBP, as Community Animator, and Sr. Roselle de la Cruz, SJBP, as Jesus Good Shepherd School Finance Officer and Assistant to the Provincial Treasurer. Instead, Sr. Sonia Hernandez, SJBP, assists the local Superior in managing the Provincial House, acts as Representative of the Congregation to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Shrine Parish Association of Religious Congregations’ gatherings and meetings. She’s also the Sister- in-Charge / Coordinator of the 5th Street Neighborhood Prayer Group; whereas Sr. Marites Perez, SJBP, is a full-time BEC (Basic Christian Community) Coordinator at the neighboring parish, the Most Holy Redeemer Parish.
The Pastorelle Sisters have been helping for many years in the Pastoral Ministry of the Most Holy Redeemer Parish. Presently, it is also where Sr. Marites and Sr. Sonia are extending their ministry through the Basic Ecclesial Communities (BEC). The Parish is located at Araneta Avenue, Quezon City covering three barangays namely: Brgy. Doña Imelda, Brgy. Santol and Brgy. Santo Niño. It has a population of about 120,000 belonging to diverse social, economic, political and religious backgrounds. Many mandated organizations and ministries have flourished especially the BEC, through the charismatic and able leadership of Msgr. Alfonso Bugaoan, Jr., the Parish Priest, and with the active participation of his parishioners in the different programs and activities of the parish.
“. . . we make our own the spirit of Jesus the Good Shepherd
so as to be a sign in the midst of God’s people
of the unwavering and thoughtful goodness of Him
who knows and lays down His life for His sheep . . .”
