Ate Charing has relentlessly served as the organist in our church masses since the fledgling years of the Good Shepherd Chapel in Regalado Avenue Parish circa 1976. In her small way, she patiently honed and refined the religious songs and numbers of the Catholic Women's League (CWL) Choir, the Dakilang Pastol Choir and the Disciples Choir, among others.

To this day, despite her failing eyesight, she personifies the virtues of the Good Shepherd as a selfless and self-sacrificing servant who incessantly prays to the Lord for strength so that she can serve the Cathedral without fail.

Truly, the acknowledgment of Ate Charing as a precious pearl of the Cathedral Shrine of the Good Shepherd is a fitting tribute to the countless other silent servers and unsung heroes in our church, who likewise deserve the admiration and gratitude of the entire parish community.
