A Priest with the BIG BIG HEART

For how many times had we dreaded the time of your departure but we have to accept reality. If you go, what will happen, who would help us, how would life be... a lot of questions asked also by others. However, life is so wonderful to endulge in searching for the answers. God is so great and He'll make a way in solving all problems.

Fr. Glenn Giovanni Jaron, MSP, has been here for the past 15 years. He is the chaplain of the biggest Filipino Community in Korea, the Hyehwadong Filipino Catholic Community for 10 years. As a priest, counselor and a friend, he has done so many things surpassing even the most popular Filipino diplomat in Korea. Many Filipinos will attest to this fact (Dare me if one disputes. .. cordilove).

Thank you Fr. Glenn Jaron for being part of our lives during bad times and good times. You will always be in our hearts. As you endeavor a new life journey elswhere in this whole wide world, may God take care of you always!

New Challenge for a President

We congratulate Edgar T. Balista for a job well done during his stint as the founding-president of the Visayas and Mindanao Oraganization in Korea. You have indeed gone the extra miles in the performance of your duties and responsibilities.

Now the great challenge has come to new heights as you will be at the helm of the Hyehwadong Filipino Catholic Community. Go go go friend, "If God is with us who can be against us?"

Pray more that whatever you do, God's in control. Amen!

"In unity, there is strength."

CBO Officers and Friends

They are all smiles. But what are behind those beautiful smiles? Yup, the difficulties, the pains, the joys and at times sorrows in keeping the organization in tact.

They are leaders by examples!
