More than four hundred Knights and Handmaids of the Altar trooped to the seminary last January 18, to attend the annual convention of Ministry of Altar Servers. The delegates arrived as early as 7:00 in the morning with full excitement and anticipation of the day’s activities.
420 Altar Servers attended the morning conferences in the morning led by Frater Patrick Janssen Batondo and Frater Mark Louie Martes. After the conference, the Holy Mass was celebrated by the His Excellency, Most Reverend Leopoldo C. Jaucian, SVD, DD, concelebrated by Fr. Jeffrey Bueno and Fr. Gary Rex Bugtong. Rev. Christian Mark Jericho also assisted. After the mass, the delegates had a hearty meal in the gymnasium along with the seminarians. The delegates showed off their talents in dancing and singing. The seminary’s Chorus Josephi rendered a song, and the seminary community also danced. The performances elicited cheers making the Carmelo Gonzalez Wellness Center shake with enjoyment and laughter. After program, the delegates faced off for friendly games while the seminarians facilitated. Despite the loses, this day made everyone go home with new friends and memorable experiences. - Gene Gabriel Ablaza
