The Virgin of the Poor!


A seminary run by the Adorno Fathers in Daet, Bicol was inspired by their humble roots to go back to the poor as essential elements of their life as religious. Because of this, Fr. Jun Abog, the seminary rector, invited Fr. Dexter Prudenciano, rcj to share his insights about working with the poor. After the inputs on the Third Look at Jesus which was given to the seminarians of the Holy Trinity Seminary, there was the blessing of the statue of the Virgin of the Poor beside the seminary of the Adorno Fathers. This was also attended by some Diocesan Priests. Later on, His Excellency Almoneda followed. The Blessed Virgin Mary and the Poor are two important persons in their life. Blessed are the Adorno Fathers.
