We used to have just this group chat. Funny, but in all the months since Interaktib started, we have somehow formed a community of fellow Catholics from all over the country. Some are staying abroad, some are active in their respective parishes. We chat, post some feed backs on the twice-a-week program of Sambuhay Interaktib. Actually, we’re like one big family.
Yesterday, my friend Min formed a page for all of us including the priests and seminarians involved in the production of the program. Min is the one I have written about in my post Solitude. It is a private group and I am helping her with another member as admins.
I have been an admin at our Catholic page The Filipino Catholic for more than ten years now since its inception so it is a little easier to navigate our new page. We are actually growing as one family, sharing the same faith. I am glad I am gaining new friends in the process.

That sounds perfect for you, Arlene. I am really glad it has worked out so well.
Best wishes, Pete.

That is excellent that you can be active in church things without leaving your home. Having new friends to share faith is marvelous.

Right Anne, I could even share some of my blog posts there. It s a lovely way of uplifting our faith having a home to speak of in cyberspace. Whereas in my other group, the Filipino Catholic has more members working as overseas Filipinos, the Interaktib community is a smorgasbord of laymen and religious. Our youngest member is a fourteen year old down South.

Arlene, it’s nice to see that people can connect without having to venture out into the world right now. This sounds like the perfect match for you!

All those connections are sure nice to have when everything else in the world is so depressing. A friend of mine sings in her church’s quire and they have been doing it using Zoom. Everyone gets their music and then they practice at home before singing together online. Then her church plays it during their weekly service. I know that it has helped her to stay connected. Be safe Arlene and happy Christmas time! 🙂

I am enjoying interacting with them Sabine. We even have some priest friends joined our group. In Tagalog we say “masaya”. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Be blessed always.

Thank you, quite hard to pronounce all those words, the meaning counts though. In Tagalog we say, Maligayang Pasko at Manigong Bagong Taon🌲🌲🌲
