The administration of the sacraments were in turn recorded and entered in the canonical books, and the same was, it a much later date, surrendered and entrusted to the parish priest of Quiapo, by the prior of the newly founded church.

2 Corinthians 9:7
Love can be a natural endowment, a present, or a gift. If it is not just a donation, it can be a divine talent. Since love is a silver bullet, it can make the unimaginable possible through the power of its inspiration.
"To build and mold a mature community of Faith, hope and love with the total human integration and development of all the material and spiritual values in Christ and to foster true friendship and camaraderie centered on Christ, the Way, the Truth and the Life."
"A happy family of Faith, with one heart and soul in their journey towards their final encounter with God."
