DIOCESE OF BUTUAN

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP OF BUTUAN, INC.

MESSAGE FOR DBESI SCHOOLS 2024 GRADUATES

To the Class of 2024:

God’s peace and blessing be with you!

The end of this school year marks a milestone not just for your academic journey but also for your
Christian formation and education. Let us continue to thank the Lord who have sustained and
continues to accompany you in this journey of life!

Our theme, “Kabaatang Pilipino Para sa Matatag na Kinabukasan ng Bagong Pilipinas,”

highlights the role of education and particularly, of the youth in the renewal and progress of our
nation. Truly, you are not just the future of the country. Pope Francis stresses this wonderfully in
Christus Vivit (no. 178): “Young friends, don’t wait until tomorrow to contribute your energy, your
audacity and your creativity to changing our world. Your youth is not an “in-between time”. You are
the now of God, and he wants you to bear fruit.” You are the now of God – including our Church
and country.

My dear graduates, continue to walk along the path of transformation and renewal. As you progress
in the journey of life, remember that you are in the synodal path where God is your companion,
guide, and destination. Let me end with this beautiful advice from the Bible: God has shown you
what is good and what He requires of you: “to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly
with your God” (Micah 6:8).

Congratulations! Padayon kita sa Pakig Duyog-Panaw! With my blessing,

MOST. REV. COSME DAMIAN R. ALMEDILLA, DD

 GRADUATION SONG

Thank You Once Again

We hardly shared a glance

To greet and know each other
And now the time is up
Each one is packing up

We'll find another chance

To meet again together
And fill each other's cup
I feel like breaking up

It's this time that almost

Always makes me cry
Before we say goodbye
I wanna let you know I love you...

Chorus:

Thank you for playing my music

Thank you for singing my song
Thank you for sparing a moment
'Cause with you I feel I really belong

Thank you for keeping me company

Thank you for being my friend
And if our paths should cross somewhere, somewhen
I'd like to sing this song again

I may the Lord our God

Richly bless and keep you
Together let us call
And thank Him most of all

Somehow I'm feeling sad

I know I'm gonna miss you
I know I will recall
Our friendship most of all

But there's one more thing

Before the day is done
Before the night is gone
Before the curtain closes, let me...

(Repeat Chorus)

Coda:

And if our paths should cross somewhere

Then I'd really be glad, yes I'd really be glad,
That I can thank you once again
