Dear Beloved Shepherds and BBTF Staff,

First, I would like to thank you for all the efforts you are exerting for the success of our 9th Breviarian Big Tent Festival. I cannot thank you enough. May God be pleased with all of you and may He grant us the grace to have more bricks to your homes in heaven.

I know you have sacrificed a lot of your time and energy…practiced more patience and love during the preparations and of course, now. Nevertheless, may we be blessed and may our labors not be in vain.

Tomorrow, we will be at the peak of this journey and there will be more surprises for all of us. So may we continue to work with love and joy. This is our great privilege to serve Him. It is not plainly because the youth needs to be guided, but more so, it is because we need to work out for our salvation. This is His unique grace for us. He has given us a venue to rediscover the joy of having a community; to feel His healing grace; to accept His love for us so that we may learn to love ourselves and other people; to rejoice in His mercy and forgiveness.

We have been given a special task that while we are growing in His grace, we have the responsibility of making others walk with us in this journey. This is not a burden we would have to carry; rather, a chance to express our love to Him by obeying and heeding His call of service. It is my hope that as we renew ourselves during this camp, others may join us. May all of us have the heart of worship and learn holy humility. Pray always.

We may have a lot of spiritual warfares especially during this time so always pray for protection. But since He has promised that He will always with us, we do not have a reason to be afraid. Let us stand up together and do our best. We may commit mistakes but all events have a purpose. He may allow us to fall but He gives us the grace to pick ourselves up and persevere.

As Camp Director this year, I would like to thank you for giving me this special title despite my weakness and unworthiness. Thank you for loving, trusting and most of all, forgiving me. Nevertheless, this is just a title. The REAL director is God. This inspiration came from Him and we once again consecrate this camp to Him. Whatever happens, whatever the circumstances may be, may His holy will be done.

Let us continue to be open to His promptings. Shine your best. This is all for His greater glory.

GOD BLESS US ALL. I LOVE YOU, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

Your servant in the Lord,
Brev Anne

It is with great joy that our young community will be reaching its 9th year in the Lord's service this coming Corpus Christi 2008. This feast will be a week long celebration as we will be having our 9th Breviarian Big Tent Festival starting the 27th of May thru the 31st of the same month 2008 at San Pablo Major Seminary, Crystal Cave, Baguio City. It has been a Breviarian culture to host this yearly event as part of our commitment to serve our fellow young people by making this an instrument of gathering as many youth as possible from different parishes and Christian communities to train and bring out the leader in them in the light of our Catholic Faith, thus, making them more effective servants when they go back to their own respective turfs. You can check-out our primer for this festival and also our DAMULAG Big Tent Special Edition on this site.

Hence, we would like to invite all of you to join us in this worthwhile mission by supporting our youth by sending them to our festival. Your prayers are definitely requested. We would also like to knock on your generous hearts for any financial assistance that you can extend to us. Please do contact us at bigtent@breviarians.org.

We are so happy to inform you that Brevstock 8 has been finalized. The thanks giving concert will be on December 16, 2007 at the UC Theater. For all the Brevs that would like to perform should audition as soon as possible.

M.O.B October was a success. Congratulations for those who made it to attend. We pray that more and more members can join us on our next meet-up. Don't forget... always "make room or make good but don't make excuses".
