January 21, 2025 - Parañaque City | Fr. Provincial, Orville Cajigal, RCJ presided over the Eucharist for the liturgical memorial of St. Agnes, which happens to be the Anniversary of his Sacerdotal Ordination. Some confreres, and lay faithful, joined the simple celebration at the St. Hannibal Rogate Center this morning.
In his homily, Fr. Orville emphasized how ‘self-care’ is geared toward selflessness. We care about ourselves so that we can serve the Church with the best of what our humanity can offer. As priests, we can learn how St. Agnes loved and sacrificed in her following of Jesus. After the Eucharist, breakfast followed. Let us continue to pray for Fr. Orville as he remembers the gift of priesthood he received. May his love and sacrifice for the Province, the Congregation and the Church become a constant pleading for the Lord of the Harvest to send more and holy priests in his vineyard!
Send O Lord, Holy Apostles into Your Church!
