NOVEMBER HIGHLIGHTS

It’s November—a time to celebrate our hope for the second coming of Christ the King. He will finally establish the Kingdom of God, especially among the poor and oppressed, for whom Jesus will return as the Son of Man who would restore peace and justice (see Mt 25:31-46). It also marks the end of the liturgical year. Accordingly, it is a moment to thank God for many blessings, especially the steps (big and small) we’ve made towards the realization of the Kingdom.

A happy and blessed ordination, Reverend Arlene!
Last November 6, 2010, the Rogationist family and SHEC have been blessed with the diaconate ordination of Rev. Arlene Ordinario Gumangan, RCJ. Truly, Reverend Arlene’s elevation to the holy orders is an expression of his commitment to serve God and the Church, particularly in promoting the Kingdom of God to the poor and oppressed. The joyful and blessed event took place at Don Jose Green Court, San Dionisio, Sucat Parañaque City.

TAO-Pilipinas and Japanese researchers visit SHEC.
In view of improving their services for the poor, TAO-Pilipinas, t
ogether with Japanese researchers led by Mr. Takuya Ogawa and Architect Etsuzo Inamoto, paid a visit and conducted an orientation on SHEC programs at SHEC office, phase 2 site last November 9, 2010. The visit/orientation was facilitated by George Espin.

UP medical studes facilitate first aid training.
Some medical students of the University of the Philippines (UP) who are assigned at SHaCC (St. Hannibal Christian Communities), in coordination with Fr. Orville Cajigal, RCJ, conducted a first aid training among SHaCC committee leaders and youth sports members. This re-appropriation of the healing ministry of Jesus was carried out last November 9-10, 2010.

Parents of Rogate youth spend quality time with the Lord.
Last November 29, 2010, the parents of the Rogate youth who handle the children’s ministry had a meaningful recollection at the St. Hannibal Training Center. Evangelization always starts and takes roots in the family, which is why an on-going spiritual and values formation for parents is an indispensable aspect of Kingdom work. The event was facilitated by Fr. Orville Cajigal, RCJ.
