Today was a busy day. It was the fiesta in Sampaloc. Fr Chrisly celebrated the Mass and did the baptisms. 9am was the funeral Mass for Melchor Tan, former hermano mayor. Msgr Laban was requested by the family to preside at the funeral Mass.
9:00 was the Mass in Gubat for the 25th anniversary of the presence of the Holy Family of Bordeaux sisters in the Philippines. I can't believe it's been twenty five years since we first saw the Sri Lankan sisters share our native proclivity for hot food, and how we wondered why the fairer Europeans (from England and Ireland) took their time biting into coconut mature enough for the copra sheds.
2:00 pm was the ordination of Rev Fr Noel Espaldon to the priesthood, delayed by four days, due to an unexpected bout with measles. 24 priests concelebrated, the number a bit unusual but understandable since Fr Noel moved his schedule to a Saturday, a busy day at any parish.
at 6:00, the lights dimmed at the OLPS auditorium for the Musica Chiesa presented by the diocean Commission for the Clergy. Verdict? success, success
