Prayers of the Faithful
Priest:        The Lord Jesus held up to all his followers the simplicity and trust of children as a condition for all entering the kingdom of heaven.  Let us there call on Jesus in prayer, saying:

Lord, in children let us welcome you.

Lord Jesus, born of the Virgin Mary, you sanctified childhood; grant that these children may grow as you did in wisdom, age, and grace. Let us pray to the Lord:

Through their parents and the Church you show these children the tenderness of your own love; grant that those entrusted with their care will be tireless in watching over them. Let us pray to the Lord:

In baptism you have given all of us rebirth to a new childhood and opened to us the doors to your Father’s house; grant that as faithful servants we may follow wherever you lead. Let us pray to the Lord:

Even as a child you had to undergo persecution and exile; grant that all children who are victims of the evil of these times may find help and protection. Let us pray to the Lord:

Priest:        Lord, our God, out of the speech of little children you have fashioned a hymn of praise. Look with kindness on these children whom the faith of the Church commends to your tender care. Your Son, born of the Virgin Mary gladly welcomed little children. He took them in his arms, blessed them, and held them up as an example for all. We ask this through Christ our Lord.






Prayer for Children

Lord, we thank you for our children; they are our joy, our fulfillment.  It is because we love them so much that we implore your blessing and protection.  Anticipate the needs of these children with your tender blessings, and grant that no evil may corrupt their mind, but that, advancing in age, in wisdom, and in grace, they may live so as to please you always.

Lord hear our prayers and with your unfailing protection, watch over these children whom you have blessed with the grace of baptism. When they have grown to maturity, grant that they will confess your name in willing faith, be fervent in charity, and persevere courageously in the hope of reaching your kingdom, where you live and reign for ever and ever. Amen.

Handbook for the Catechist as regards history of ALD
-       Historically, Pangasinan figures prominently as the battleground for many wars in the country. Lingayen Gulf was the headquarters of the Chinese pirate Limahong who came even ahead of the Spanish forces. In World War II Americans landed in Lingayen to resume military operations against Japan. Andres Malong, a Filipino officer commissioned with the Spanish forces, led the first revolt of the province in 1660.The Augustinian were the first missionaries to arrive in Pangasinan. But they found the people unresponsive, addicted to idolatry and the so-called Anitos. Unable to make much headway, they proceeded north to the Ilocos provinces, but not before having founded the big towns of Lingayen, Dagupan and Manaoag. Some secular priests and some Franciscans are also recorded as among the first missionaries of Pangasinan. But like the Augustinian, they also went north abandoning the socalled barren and unfruitful land.
The Dominicans were the most successful missionaries in Pangasinan and they stayed until the Revolution of 1898. As early as 1587, they established the town of Binalatongan, now San Carlos City. Other big towns they founded are Calasiao, Binmaley, Santa Barbara and San Fabian. Meanwhile the Augustinian Recollects evangelized the western part of the province which is now the territory of the Diocese of Alaminos.
The Diocese of Lingayen was erected on May 19, 1928, comprising the entire province of Pangasinan. In 1954, because of the destruction brought on Lingayen by World War II, the See was transferred to Dagupan, and the diocese is now known as the Diocese of Lingayen Dagupan. On January 12, 1985 the western part of Pangasinan was made the Diocese of Alaminos, and the eastern part the Diocese of Urdaneta, both dioceses becoming suffragans of Lingayen-Dagupan along with the dioceses of Cabanatuan, San Jose (Nueva Ecija) and San Fernando (La union). in 1963 the diocese was elevated to an archdiocese.
There are 26 parishes in the archdiocese served by 106 priests, 12 religious brothers and 33 religious sisters. Catholic institutions include 2 seminaries, I major and I minor, 27 Catholic schools, a hospital, 2 clinics, a formation center, a social action center, and a catechetical center. Faith Communities number 24 in all.
Pastoral activities are concentrated on worship, catholic education, Youth apostolate, social action and pastoral work with the family. A noteworthy innovation is the attention given to worship. The archdiocese is achieving progress in making the liturgy the framework of worship. Devotions remain popular, but adequate success has been achieved to integrate these with liturgy Thus, devotions to saints, who are local favorites, have. been weaned off the novena syndrome and integrated with the celebration of the Mass.
On social action, Archbishop Oscar V Cruz established the Caritas Dagupan, the primary objective. of which is to help the poor of Christ help themselves through livelihood and health projects. The Archdiocesan Commission on social Action and Allied Services initiates programs that encourage. entrepreneurship among the rural communities The Commission grants financial assistance to rural folks so they can put up small scale industries, or organize cooperatives to eventually improve their standard of living.
Since Archbishop Cruz assumed office, one of his main preoccupations has been the formulation of an Archdiocesan Pastoral Plan. After much reflection and deliberation, the Plan was finally finished. The Archdiocesan Pastoral Plan is based on the integrated advisory observations made by the clergy and the laity who had been constantly consulted by the Archbishop on the matter.
The plan is on a short term basis of three years, after which evaluations are made, necessary adjustments adopted, and then the renewed Pastoral Plan is launched for another three years. Subsequently the plan will go through the same evaluation, adoption, and renewal processes.
The plan itself starts with the situation of broken and sinful unbelievers, ignorant and indifferent, notwithstanding the call to be healed, to be whole, to be holy, to be believers. The vision is the Living Body of Christ through witnessing, worshipping, serving and evangelizing community. And mission is renewed and intensive evangelization, renewed and intense living of gospel values; development of the spirit, charisms and capabilities of the Presbyterium; promotion, encouragement and maximization of the ecclesial participation of the laity in line with the above, programs have, been devised to particularize the mission component of the Plan. In particular these programs involve the clergy, the laity and the community apostates.
