On 25th February, 2019, the communities of brothers and sisters of the Philippines, had their Lenten retreat at the Betania Retreat Center, in Quezon City (Philippines), which was led by Father Anton Pras CICM. They also thanked Harald Adler for his fifteen years of tireless service to the mission of the Province of Japan-Philippines. Each community offered some flowers and simple gifts to Harald. In the Eucharist, Harald himself expressed how grateful he was to have served the Filipinos in the mission of the Congregation. In an emotional moment he made reference to his personal experience in the Hospital-Leprosarium Tala where every meeting with the sick was a daily moment of inspiration in which he remembered Saint Damian of Molokai. Harald left the Philippines on March 2 for the Province of Germany which he rejoins.
