The First Profession
On June 8, 2018, the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Japan-Philippine Province celebrated with joy the First Professions of brothers Erwin James Luranza Loquindo and Mark Ortiz Luis Mangulabnan. The celebration was held at the Novitiate Community in Silang Cavite. The celebration was attended by many brothers and sisters of the Congregation, families, some women religious of other congregations, and some parishioners of the area.
Assembly of the brothers of the Philippines area
On June 11-13, 2018 all the brothers of the Philippine area came together for an Assembly at the Oases Prayer Center in Tagaytay. It is time for sharing, praying and bonding as one family. The provincial , Kenji Honma, addressed all the brothers to rediscover the spirit of mission of the Congregation.
During the Assembly, all each brother had a chance to meet and talk with the Provincial and the councilors. On the last day, we discussed some important topics regarding cemetery and planning on the Damian Formation House in New Manila. Before lunch we had enough time to share and discuss the latest letter from the Generalate on “INSPIRING DOCUMENTS, SAVIOR GOD along the JOURNEY OF LIFE”. Before the final blessing of the Eucharist, the Provincial prayed and sent all the brothers to their newly appointed mission area.
