Pacificus Youth Ministry: Naming CPPPYM afresh

The parishioners, which include the members of the parish youth ministry, are suggested to be peacemakers as the name of the parish indicates.

We are thinking of renaming our Parish Youth Ministry into a three letter acronym that will still bear the name of Christ the Prince of Peace Parish in essence. We consulted a member that is well versed with Latin, i.e. Kim Jayson Villezca. He gave a passage from Matt 5:9a which reads: "Beatus es pacificus" it translates to English “Blessed are the peacemakers.” Consequently, we opted to shorten Christ the Prince of Peace Parish You Ministry into Pacificus Youth Ministry. This will not only avoid the confusion of how many P’s will be articulated in between letters C and YM but also will give the Parish Youth Ministry of Christ the Prince of Peace a unique identity.

The new name Pacificus Youth Ministry will be a.k.a PYM. It will jive with the popular PYM acronym that stands for Parish Youth Ministry. So, for the Christ the Prince of Peace Parish, PYM will still stand for Parish Youth Ministry in conjunction with its new name, PACIFICUS YOUTH MINISTRY. This name change will not, in any form, affect the structure, foundations and vision & mission of the youth ministry. For the members, please be guided accordingly.
