It was such a joy to see the last lay members of the SAHA Batch ordained as Deacons at the St. Joseph's Cathedral in Tagbilaran City last June 27, 2011. The Ordaining Prelate was the Bishop of the Diocese of Tagbilaran, His Excellency Bishop Leonardo Y. Medroso, DD. The ordination was attended in by a number of priests and deacons from the Dioceses of Tagbilaran, Talibon, and from the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro.
The delegates from St. John Vianney Theological Seminary were Fr. Butch Zayas, Ate Venus Guibone, and Fr. Abet Uy. Among the SAHA batch, only Fr. Junjie, Rev. James, and myself were able to free our schedules to be with Craig and Posoi. The members of the SAHA batch who didn't make it were Frs. Ricky, Arniel, and Chris.
You could only imagine how Rev. James and myself manage to discuss a lot of things all throughout the celebration. We were whispering here and there. It was just a riot.
But the celebration ran smoothly the way the Liturgists wanted it to happen. Words cannot paint the happiness that Rev. Craig and Rev. Posoi felt that day.
The long wait is over. They have come to the end of the long journey. They are now part of the Ordained Ministers.
Craig and Posoi, the best is yet to come... See you soon for our Alumni Homecoming!
