Make me a Good Priest
Sangkan 1&2 host for this year is Binmaley Pangasinan. The theme of the Sangkan was: “We are one body.” Msgr. Jesus A. Cabrera presided over the Eucharist. In his homily he taught this simple and yet very important prayer for all the seminarians: “Lord Jesus, if you want me to be a priest, make me a good priest.” To the parents he also gave this similar prayer: “Lord, if you want my son to be priest, make him a good priest.” The second yr high school placed 1st runner in the overall with only 5 points difference to MGCS of Pampanga. The first year high school placed 3rd. Here are some of the winners: Second Year – champion in chess. For the First Year – champion in pool, games of the general. Details to follow.
