TSPI strongly believes that couples who make God as the center of their relationship will cultivate a blessed and loving family. TSPI became instrumental for select unmarried TSPI clients, together with their spouse, to become God[1]centered through its values program “Kasalang Bayan”. Deserving clients who are responsible and determined to achieve progress for their families were chosen to benefit from this once in a lifetime opportunity. They were given access to spiritual, legal and moral assistance and guidance enabling them to celebrate the sanctity of marriage with the church, their loved ones and community.
Prior to the wedding ceremony, select couples attended TSPI family development seminar sessions. They also joined access to spiritual, legal and moral assistance and guidance enabling them to celebrate the sanctity of marriage with the church, their loved ones and community. They also joined the Pre-Cana Seminar as a prerequisite to the church wedding. The ultimate goal of these two (2) seminars is for the couples to understand their lifelong commitment and responsibilities. It emphasizes strengthening families and transmitting faith from parents to children.
The first Kasalang Bayan was held on August 1, 2023 at San Bartolome Apostol Parish Church, Nagcarlan, Laguna. The church was founded by Franciscan priests in 1578 and has a Baroque style structure. In this place of worship, select 13 couples received the sacrament of marriage. Most of the couples are second generation clients whose parents are also current TSPI clients.
The second Kasalang bayan was held on September 7, 2023 at the St. Raymond of Peñafort Parish or known as Mangatarem Church in Mangatarem, Pangasinan. Named after the Dominican priest who later became the patron saint of canon lawyers and lawyers in general, this church was built in 1835. It reflects an Early Renaissance architectural style and is mainly distinguishable for its dome-like roof”. Hand-picked 13 couples were given the opportunity to be part of the church wedding.
This program was funded by Wholistic Transformation Resource Center Foundation, Inc. (WTRC), a nonstock, nonprofit Christian organization aiming to build true transformation in people’s lives. WTRC was founded by David T. Bussau, TSPI’s Chairman Emeritus.
