Twelve Fifteen Choristers

In March 2000, Msgr. Fidelis Limcauco, former parish priest of the Good Shepherd realized the need for an additional Sunday mass schedule in the afternoon. To facilitate this, he established the 12:15 noon mass, which was initially presided by Rev. Fr. Rey Flores. To make the Eucharistic Celebration livelier, Msgr. Fidelis tapped some dedicated parishioners to form a choir that would render liturgical music services and lead the congregation in singing during the mass. This choir group became known as the Twelve-Fifteen Choristers or the TFC Choir.

The TFC Choir was organized by Ate Sally Rea and Ate Lydia Calvario with the assistance of Ate Mina Serena Reburiano as President and Kuya Bong Flores as Musical Director. After three years from its establishment, Kuya Erwin Guillen was chosen to lead the choir with the assistance of Ate Jennifer Ortega who helps the TFC in fulfilling its mission in serving Our Lord thru singing.

Today, the TFC has become an “open door” for parishioners and non-parishioners who want to serve God by sharing their time, talents and friendship with each other.

The group also shares their talents with other parishes and chapels as invited guests and participates in parochial concerts and chorale festivities.

Objectives

2. To give an opportunity for parishioners to join and serve God by willingly giving their time and talents in music;

3. To establish a faithul community bonded by friendship, willingness to learn, worship and quality service.
