Fr. Orville Cajigal, RCJ, the Provincial Superior, did his Canonical Visit to the St. Hannibal Mary Discernment Center (Rogamina) in Iloilo on May 29-June 1, 2024. The said visit included a short side trip to the Rogate Center of Pastoral Care for Vocations (Camp Alfredo) in Guimaras, where he also took the opportunity to meet with the confreres there. The brief stay in Mina was highlighted by moments of common and personal dialogues, and of prayers. It was an opportune moment for the visitors to celebrate the Feast Day of the St. Hannibal Mary Di Francia, which is also the centenary of his birth in heaven. The Mass of the day, which was presided over by Fr. Marcelino Diaz II, RCJ, incorporated the formal acceptance of Post. John Clim to the recently constituted Contemplative Novitiate of the St. Matthew Province. This rite was led by Fr. Orville.
Bro. Christian Allan De Sagun, RCJ, the Provincial Secretary, documented this encounter, and checked on the Archives of the House.
Thanks to the warm welcome and generous hospitality of the confreres May the Lord always bless and guide this community, its members and everyone under its care!
