Meanwhile, On May 6, feast of St. Dominic Savio, 3 Filipino deacons were ordained to the presbyteral order by Cardinal Gaudencio Rosales, archbishop emeritus of the Archdiocese of Manila. The ordination was held at the National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians. There were about 70 priests who came to concelebrate.
May 6, the date our newly ordained priests have chosen, has been an important date for them since all of them trace back their first profession on this date.
