The Fr. Hannibal Formation Center Community gratefully welcomes 10 new aspirants who have come from different parts of Luzon for the Formation Year 2023-2024. As they entered the seminary, their faces displayed a mix of emotions - excitement, hesitations, and everything in between. Saying goodbye to their families was undoubtedly difficult, but the formators and seminarians embraced them with hospitality and understanding, just as they had experienced when they first arrived. It's not truly a goodbye to the world, but rather a "see you again soon" with a new mission.
Fr. TJ Lancin RCJ, the Vice Superior/Prefect of Discipline, Fr. Philip Alensolurin, RCJ, the Prefect of Studies, Fr. JR Arreza, RCJ, the Vocation Promoter together with the Religious Brothers and Seminarians
expressed their gratitude to the parents and guardians for accompanying and supporting their sons on this journey to the seminary.
As these new aspirants embark their journey in the seminary, let us place our trust in the Lord of the Harvest, who calls them. He does not call the qualified, but qualifies the Called. Let us offer our prayers for them, that they may become dedicated workers in His vast vineyard. May our Fr. Founder, St. Hannibal Mary Di Francia, intercede for them and impart to them the deep understanding and zeal for the Rogate.
Send, O Lord,
Holy Apostles into your Church!
