Fr. Abe, a gift to the SHEC


A holy priest, having at his backpack the biblical Jesus, came along with SHEC and taught how to be in touch with the Spirit and with the poor. The people have learned how to do it. Right now, they are poured out in mission. SHEC is fortunate for having been touched by his life. As he celebrates his birthday, those who have been touched by him have come in order to greet him with prayerful wishes that God will give him strength and more years of spirit-filled life. This is none other than Fr. Carlos Abesamis, SJ.
