The newly elected who will serve the local Church for the next 2 years, committed themselves to “obey and support the Priests, to serve, bear true faith and allegiance to the Church, discharge my duties and responsibilities to the best of my abilities, with all fidelity, sincerity, commitment and dedication”.
