National Congress of St. James the Greater Parishes and Devotees

Our parish's participation in the National Congress of St. James the Greater Parishes and Devotees began at its inaugural gathering in Cavite in 2018, ably represented by Rev. Fr. Stephen M. Brongcano and then PPC President Mr. Mauricio Abrau. Since that time, our parish has faithfully attended each annual congress.

  1. The 2nd National Congress took place in Compostela, Cebu, hosted by the Parish and Archdiocesan Shrine of Santiago de Compostela and our delegation numbered five parishioners.
  2. The 3rd Congress was held at St. James the Greater Parish in Dapitan City, Zamboanga del Norte in 2020, with ten of our parishioners in attendance.
  3. In February 2022, the 4th National Congress convened at Santiago Apostol Parish (Saint James the Apostle Parish Church) in Plaridel, Bulacan. Our parish sent 13 representatives.
  4. The 5th National Congress occurred in Ibaan, Batangas at the Archdiocesan Shrine and Parish of Saint James the Greater. We were proud to send an even larger group of participants.
  5. More recently, our parish took part in the congress held in Batuan, Bohol at the St. James Parish of Batuan—which drew over 20 participants from our parish.

Looking ahead, our parish is deeply honored to have accepted the invitation to host the next National Congress in 2026.
