November 29, 2024 – On the eve before their ordination, Rev. John Dela Cruz, RCJ, and Rev. Bryan Balagtas, RCJ, were accompanied by the Rogationist community in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.

The last day of the triduum in preparation for the ordination was celebrated at the Holy Spirit Chapel of the Father Di Francia Center of Studies, where the ordinandees spent their years in theology. The first day was hosted by Father Hannibal Formation Center, while the second day was held at the Our Lady of Beautiful Love Parish.

Most Rev. Jose Elmer Mangalinao, DD, Bishop of Bayombong, the Ordaining Prelate, met with them and led the rite in consecrating the vestments and vessels for the ordinandees.
We accompany them with our prayers as they commit to a life of ministering to God’s people as His priests.

Send, O Lord, Holy Apostles into Your Church!
