It has been part of tradition for the Provincial Superior to meet the Religious Brothers in Practical Training each year. Fr. Herman Abcede, RCJ, tasked Fr. Jose Maria Ezpeleta, Provincial Councilor in-charge of the Sector on Religious Life and Formation, to organize this year's encounter. Coming from different communities of the St. Matthew Province, Bro. Andru Iroy, Bro. Reggie Akiatan, Bro. Bryan Tutas, Bro. Yoseph Emmanuel Rua, Bro. Francis Ferruci Cayao, Bro. Ignatius Carmelo Gannaban, Bro. Niño Rosal, Bro. Jose Roque Arreza, Bro. Jorge Casaberde, Bro. Edward Capeña, Bro. Al John Provido, Bro. Marselinus Koka, Bro. Petrus Marianus, Bro. Clenton Oplas, Bro. Joseph In Soon Choi, Bro. Carl Angelo Balaan, and Bro. Michael Seong Nam Kim met each other at the St. Hannibal Formation Center in Cebu, before proceeding to Tagbilaran, Bohol. The encounter which aimed to be a locus of fraternity and dialogue, of sharing growth experiences and visions and of just being together and cherish each other's giftedness was hosted by the generous and hospitable friend and benefactor - the family of Dra. Edna Lao, on October 26-29, 2015.
