Religious Brothers of the Philippines joined by Salesians from Vietnam and ITM
DAVAO CITY: 6th November 2008 -- Though billed largely as a national conference of Religious Brothers for the Philippines, the recent 9th Triennial Convention of Religious Brothers, held from 24-26 October at a Convention Resort in Davao City on the Souther Philippines island of Mindanao, saw a total of 13 Salesian Brothers in attendance, several of them from Vietnam, Indonesia and East Timor, and the remainder from both north and south Philippines provinces. A total of 150 participants from 36 Congregations assembled to ponder the theme of a spirituality of communion.
Part of the convention was given to business meetings, since the Philippines National group comprises three separate Associations. Bro Mon Callo SDB is chairman of the Luzon Association of Religious Brothers and was thus a key figure in the organization of the national event which, with the presence of Brothers also from other parts of Asia, had an international flavour. Convention Director was Bro. Joe Sapigao SC. The keynote address for the Conference theme, one heart, one nation, one mission: a spirituality of communion, was given by Brother Karel San Juan SJ, Executive Director of Emmaus Centre for Psycho-spiritual Formation at the Ateno de Manila University.
