In the spirit of joy and thanksgiving, we celebrated our 43rd anniversary of foundation in the Philippines last May 15, 2008. |

|
We are blessed in a very special way for the gift of our six new novices who had their entrance to the novitiate on the same date. |

In his homily during the Mass, Fr. Mario shared and reminded the NOVICES the challenges of giving up oneself for the Kingdom of God and the meaning of leaving everything in the context of today’s post modern world. He also thanked the novices for the courage to commit themselves to be formed in the life of consecration for the ministry of pastoral care. |
