SHEC is truly expanding to promote Kingdom works. Last November 1, 2009 SHEC staff Almerson Bernardino, Richie Ordones and Jeffry Abuan headed by Fr. Dexter Prudenciano visited a farm site at Victoria, Negros Occidental. This site is envisioned to be the location of SHEC Bacolod.

Postulants’ Immersion at Baseco

Green City
Part of healthy ecology is the abundance of vegetative life most especially at urban areas. To make the SHEC office a green city, farm managers Almerson Bernardino, Richie Ordoñez and Rhoderick Avedaña started a nursery for an envisioned urban garden. This project was launched last Nov. 15, 2009.
