29 April 2007. Good Shepherd Sunday. The Diocese of Cubao's Commission on the Youth led by Fr. Steve Zabala and Fr. Jojo Monis invited the Jesuit Music Ministry to perform in their first Diocesan Youth Assembly at the covered courts of Christ the King Seminary in E. Rodriguez. The crowd's response to our performances was overwhelming. Our songs were well-received. The young crowd sang and danced with us. The notable performances were as follows.


Noel Cabangon performed Ako'y Mabuting Pilipino and Kanlungan.
Fr. Jboy SJ was emcee.
