A new flower bloom for the Redemptorist family.




The day began with a nice sunshine for the for the great occasion which is about to happen in the Redemptorist family. New hopes, joys and dreams were overwhelming of a son in that family. Because it is the day of his ordination as a son of St. Alphonsuns. Rev. Bro. Shaun was getting ordained by his lordship Bishop Manny Cabajar. We the students in the Satmi with the seniors and few of our Redemptorist fathers joined the procession before the mass. Rev. Bro. Shaun with his parents went in front. There was no doubt that the parents of Bro. Shaun would have delighted when their son was about to be ordain as a priest. After all these years parents gave their blessing to their son and now after Shaun’s ordination for the first time he blesses his parents. What a privilege and a blessing to his parents and relatives to have a priest son for their own. The mass for the ordination started with an inspiring hymn. The mass and the ordination rite went smoothly. All the students did their responsible tasks with great enthusiasm. Thus another son of St. Alphonsus was ordained to the priesthood for the province of Cebu. After the ordination mass Rev.Fr. Shaun gave his thanks giving speech. All the conferrers tagged in a community picture with Fr. Shaun. Soon after the ordination mass followed the get together. There were many people including Fr. Shaun’s relations. Few of them gave some speeches about Fr. Shaun’s past life experiences which were inspiring to listen. According to them Fr. Shaun was very kind and polite person which of course we can see it from his simple lifestyle. His father gave a good motivation speech too. After that the long awaited performance was started. Where the Satmi students and the friends of Fr. Shaun during his high school performed their various talents on behalf of newly ordained priest Rev. Fr. Shaun C.Ss.R. And thus end another important occasion in the SATMI.
