The Bulacan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI), in collaboration with the Malolos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) and the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish - Barasoain Church, is excited to announce the "WHITE CHRISTMAS CONCERTO" at the Historic Barasoain Church, set to take place on 1 December 2023. This remarkable event will showcase the talents of the Philippine Madrigal Singers and handpicked local talents from Bulacan.

This event holds significant importance as it serves as a fundraising initiative for the Micro-enterprise Development Programs of both the BCCI and MCCI. It also provides a timely opportunity to foster camaraderie among chamber members, the business community, and socio-civic organizations. Furthermore, it aims to promote the Barasoain Church as a prime tourism destination, highlighting its historical and cultural significance as a national treasure.

The evening's program includes a special dinner carefully curated by Taverna by Bahay Na Tisa. Attendees are encouraged to don their finest white semi-formal or business casual attire. Rev. Fr. Domingo Salonga will also lead the lighting of the Barasoain Church Christmas tree, marking the onset of the Christmas season.

We cordially extend our invitation to you to be part of this inaugural event. By participating, you not only enjoy a memorable evening but also contribute to the shared causes of the BCCI, MCCI, and the Parish of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Tickets are available for P2,500 per person, which includes dinner. Rest assured, your generosity will make a meaningful impact.

We look forward to your kind and supportive response. Thank you sincerely for your consideration.

We are pleased to inform you that we are currently in the process of reviewing and updating the contracts for each burial plot. This is to determine the fees associated with the ongoing care and maintenance of these plots. To get an accurate assessment of the cost for your plot, we kindly request that you contact the parish office prior to the approaching All Saints' and All Souls' Days, so that every resting place can have a contract extending for up to fifty (50) years.

The deadline for payment and contract renewal is until 30 November 2023. After this date, starting from 1 December 2023, all individuals with outstanding balances and those who continue to make payments for the land will have their contracts extended for only twenty-five (25) years.

Failure to respond to this call means you will be ceding your burial plot back to the church. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter, as it ensures the continued upkeep of the cemetery and the peaceful resting place of your loved ones.

Thank you for your attention and support. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the parish office.
