With hearts overflowing with gratitude, we give thanks for the success of the First Clergy Spouses Orientation and Team Building of the Diocese of Biliran and Leyte, held on April 12–13, 2026 at Erika’s Garden, Sampao, Biliran, guided by the theme: “Guarding the Sacred Circle: Protecting Home Life, Family, and Personal Time.”

We extend our deepest appreciation to our sponsors, whose generosity and support made this meaningful gathering possible.

To our resource speaker Sis. Melanie Sasota-Loyao of the Diocese of Cebu, thank you for your inspiring words, wisdom, and guidance that enriched our understanding and strengthened our commitment to our vocation and family life. We are also grateful to our BTR resource person and team building facilitator Rev. Fr. Jesus Sta Iglesia for leading us through engaging activities that deepened our unity, trust, and joyful fellowship.

Our sincere gratitude goes to our host, Biliran Vicariate for the warm hospitality and careful preparation that created a welcoming and nurturing environment for everyone.

With love and appreciation, we thank our dear spouses, our clergy, for their unwavering support, understanding, and dedication to their ministry. Your partnership inspires us to remain steadfast in faith and service.

Above all, we express our profound gratitude to our Bishop - The Right Reverend Victor M. Palero for his guidance, encouragement, and pastoral leadership, continually reminding us of the importance of nurturing both ministry and family life.

To all the participants, our dear sisters in faith, thank you for your presence, openness, and willingness to journey together in faith, sharing, and growth.

Indeed, this gathering has been a beautiful beginning in strengthening bonds, renewing spirits, and inspiring us to faithfully guard the sacred circle entrusted to us. May the grace we have received continue to bear fruit in our homes, our relationships, and our shared mission.

To God be all the glory!
