Calbayog City – The community of PSDP Nazareth Formation House—religious and aspirants—joins the Synod of the Basic Ecclesial Communities (BEC) of the Diocese of Calbayog on March 13–14, offering their presence and service in this important gathering of the local Church.

The Nazareth Formation House community serves as the choir for the two-day synod, animating the liturgical celebrations through prayerful songs. They lead the music during the Opening Mass presided over by Bishop Isabelo C. Abarquez, which gathers BEC leaders and members from different parishes of Vicariate I of the Diocese of Calbayog.
