Tomb of My Ancestors 2000

Image
  Beneath the silent stone I stand With heart heavy, in this solemn land Before me lies the tomb of my kin Their legacy a reminder of what has been I feel the weight of the past upon my soul As memories and stories come to unfold Of love that bloomed and tragedy that struck Of family ties that were broken and stuck The whispers of betrayal echo through time As secrets that were kept, slowly unwind But through the pain, their love still shines In the faces of descendants, who still carry their lines The past may be buried, but their spirits remain Reminding us of what we have gained Inheritors of a legacy, that we must carry on For the sake of our ancestors, whose light has shone So I stand here, with tears in my eyes Honoring the lives that came before mine Grateful for the lessons they've left behind And the hope that their love will forever bind.

Bais San Nicloas de Tolentino Parish Church

Image
  Bais was organized into an independent town in 1801 but some time passed before it would be established as a parish by the Augustinian Recollects. Before November 1872, the town was under the parish of Tanjay and, a few years later, of Manjuyod. Nevertheless, the parish priest of Manjuyod continued to minister to the town until it was appointed its down spiritual administrator beginning 1873. A book on the evangelization work of Augustinian Recollects in Negros, “Handurawan: Visita Iglesia Negros Y Recoletos,” said Fr. Benigno Jimenez took over in April 1873 as the first Recollect parish priest. Church beginnings During his tenure, a modest convent and chapel made of bamboo and nipa was built and used by the town for close to three years. He later built a wooden convent and fortified the chapel with bricks but these were destroyed during a strong storm in 1874. Fr. Jimenez worked on the church reconstruction using strong materials and his successor priests contributed through imp...
