by Sem. Marclorenz Ortega

Very Rev. Sanny Paguio, Rector, confirmed the election of the new set of Student Council of F.Y. 2020-2021 (1st Semester) on October 31, 2020 at the St. Joseph Seminary Chapel.

The right of induction was integrated in the mass after the Gospel reading when Fr. Gary Rex A. Bugtong, presented the new set of officers. They were all presented to Very. Rev. Sanny Paguio, the rector; Who confirmed them in their elections.
​
The newly elected student council stood in front of everyone who serve as witnesses as they read the Act of Commitment, with dignity they solemnly swore to serve God and the community to the best of their abilities and to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of the offices they hold.
After the communion, the rite of the passing of the key of responsibility was showcased with great reverence. The key is the last of all the master keys that used to open and close the doors of the Seminary, and whoever holds that key holds a great responsibility.

The outgoing general beadle, Sem. Marclorenz Ortega, gave a final speech before formally turning the responsibility to the upcoming general beadle. In his speech he says “When a task is given to you, you must do it first before you complain.” He concluded that serving as the general beadle was a great experience and a fruitful one at that, for he was not only able to serve but he grew with it as well. The key was then given to the incoming general beadle and he accepted it.

The incoming general beadle expressed his confidence in the cooperation of the seminarians. He stated that at first, he was reluctant and even doubted his ability to serve the community. But he was consoled by the thought that, The Formators saw in him the capacity in him to lead so he should as well see it. “Let the way I lead you be a matter of give and take, where I learn form you and you can learn from me.” He concluded.
