THANK YOU, ST. JOHN VIANNEY!

We would like to thank all our friends who supported our play in the seminary. Thanks especially to the media which covered it: Eva Visperas of Philippine Star/Sunday Punch, Recah Trinidad of Philippine Daily Inquirer, Balitang Amianan (Dagupan), and the CBCP Monitor. We congratulate Fr. Jonathan Songcuan for doing a splendid job as Director once again!

A new basketball court will soon rise in the compound of the seminary. God bless all our donors. Thank you St. John Mary Vianney!

Lenten Recollection of Liturgical Ministers (Group 2)

Fr. Soc gave a conference to the group, composed mostly of Lectors from several parishes. Bishop Rene also gave a conference, and presided over the penitential rite. Fr. Bobby Mejia, Fr. Mario and Bishop Rene listened to the confessions before the end of the recollection.

Lenten Recollection for Liturgical Ministers (Group1)

Today, the First Saturday of the Lenten Season, we began the RECOLLECTION for all the Liturgical Ministers (Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion and Lectors/Commentators). The schedule proceeded as usual, with the Rosary preceding the Eucharistic Celebration presided over by Fr. Mario.

Fr. Soc, our Archbishop (as seen in the pictures), gave a very touching talk on the call to holiness. Then, the long conference in the morning was about knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ by Fr. Mario. After lunch, the group of 145 Liturgical Ministers reflected on the Stations of the Cross. Bishop Rene, the Auxiliary Bishop gave the conference on the Year for Priests. The recollection ended with the celebration of the Sacrament of Penance at about 4PM.

Recollection of Grade 5 Pupils - St. John Cathedral School

There was so much joy to have the children for recollection today. The 10-11 year old pupils had a great day - laughing, crying, praying, playing! Sometimes, we forget that there is always a child within us. The children in these pictures just show the sacredness of joy. God bless the children!




Even the teachers had a great time!

Padre Juan Vianney: Konpesor

Our seminary play on St. John Mary Vianney had its first showing tonight. Here are some pictures (courtesy of Fr. Jim Cerezo). Come and see. It is definitely a theater experience!

Recollection for Parish Workers and Secretaries

Fr. Soc gives a conference to our parish workers and secretaries during the recollection intended solely for them.

Almost all parishes sent companions in rectories and offices for the recollection. The day was filled with a lot of joy as almost 140 of them studied, prayed, and listened. We thank all of them for continuing to work and to love our priests.

Mabuhay!
