In a simple yet prayerful rite, led by Fr. Herman Abcede, the Provincial Superior, on June 6, 2017, Fr. Ulrich Gacayan turned over to Fr. Alfonso Flores the Office of the Parish Priest of the Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Parish in Multinational Village, Parañaque City. Fr. Flores, in turn, turned over his post as Superior of the Religious Parish Community to Fr. Dante Quidayan. May they truly be filled with the necessary grace of state to be wise and faithful stewards, and brothers and friends to confreres and to all those entrusted to their care!

In the Holy Mass said in special remembrance of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to her cousin Elizabeth, which the Provincial Superior, Fr. Herman Abcede, himself presided over, he aptly spoke of two biblical "wombs", apparently incapable of giving life - one virgin (that of Mary), and another barren (that of Elizabeth). Both are blessed, nonetheless, for having been so highly favored by God, that they didn't just bring forth ordinary life, but gave birth to extraordinary men life itself ever saw and will ever see.
