Our Lady of Good Health Community based in Our Lady of La Paz Parish (Makati) is composed of three members, Fr. Tom Welu, Fr. Robert Chua, and Fr. Nards Nono, with Fr. Robert as local superior.
For the past three years now, the community
has been joined by a guest priest, Fr. Reji Chako, a Camillian confrere
from India doing further studies at the De La Salle University.
The three confreres have distinctive
ministries: Fr. Tom serves the barangay residents of Balugo (Dumaguete)
and is able to reach out to the people there, particularly the sick.
Fr. Nards is the procurator of the community as
well as the director of St. Camillus Polyclinic in Makati. He also
assists in the parish particularly by helping Fr. Robert administer the
sacraments.
Fr. Robert Chua has been serving as the parish
priest of Our Lady of La Paz Parish since August 31, 2006. He strives
to respond to the needs of the parish community as best as he can,
working hand in hand with the parishioners in implementing the Mission
and Vision of the Archdiocese of Manila.
In keeping with the Camillian charism, Fr.
Robert spearheads the celebration of a Mass for the Sick regularly at
9:00 A.M. every third Sunday of the month. Other important ministries
that the parish has launched are the youth ministry, the music
ministry, the feeding program, and evangelization through the efforts
of the youth and through the Parish Renewal Experience seminars.
