Last of November 7, 2012, 4 Dominican deacons were ordained to priesthood in Sto. Domingo Church, Quezon City. They were Rev. Bejay Namuag, O.P. (Tagum City, Davao del Norte), Rev. Lovell Javier, O.P. (Sampaloc, Manila), Rev. Rudolf Seño, O.P. (Los Baños. Laguna) and Rev. Manoj Rasanjana, O.P. (Sri Lanka). The Ordination was headed by Most Rev. Socrates Villegas, D.D. (Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan)
It was an inspiring moment in my life to witness for the first time an Ordination to Priesthood. I hope that one day, if God permits, I'll be part of the Dominican family in preaching the Gospel. May God bless them to continue the mission of showing God's love to the Youth, the Poor and the Confused.
