If you feel like you have just seen a party recently in our blog, well, here in our Redemptorist Davao community we really never run out of parties. And this evening we had another party organized by our friends and benefactors, the sentennial group, on the occasion of the vocation month and the year for priests. What more, “a hat party” was the theme for the night which means that everyone was supposed to wear some kind of a hat going to the party. Some came with a more cultural and national style. Others, like Fr. Picx and his disciples, had their own built in helmet. However, there was one person who could not make a difference between a hat and a bag. I did appreciate his creativity, though.
As usual, different varieties of food were served on the table. And as soon as the prayer was said, we began rushing to the food table and did what we do best. During the meal we had a little game with quizzes from Sr. Miriam and the seniors on scripture and theology. Well, I think most of answers were coming from the lay people not the seminarians. Then the sentennial group sang a song for us. On our part we also had a special number from the students presented by Rnel, RJ, Mayt, and Efrem, featuring Terence, our human mic stand. Good job guys.
At the end of the party the sentennial group, aside from the sumptuous meal we had had, generously prepared small gifts for all of us. I got a very nice pair of socks ^ ^ On behalf of the community I would like to extand my deepest gratitude to your kindness and support that you have always had for us, the Redemptorists. We promise that we will remember you in our prayer always. And if there is something else aside from prayer that we can be of your service (I’m sure there is) just let us know.
Lastly, perhaps the only thing that was not so pleasant for me in this party was that I was one of the dishwashers!
