First Canonical Visit
12-16 Sept 2025
Peace!
Thank God and thanks to your prayers… the 4-day canonical visitation in Murcia-Mambucal Salesian Community has reached its conclusion with a feeling of joy & contentment deep within my heart. Truly I can exclaim using the same words of today’s Responsorial Psalm “How great are the works of the Lord.” All is Grace.
Big thanks to Fr Rosmon, Rector & Parish Priest, and to his community members: Fr Samson De Leon, Fr Allen Elevado, & Br Tony Hopida. I’ll never forget the precious moments we have shared both at the Eucharistic table and at the dining table. You really made me feel at home in your midst and at the same time more appreciative of the amazing work you are doing in this part of our Province and the Salesian World.
My gratitude goes also to all the Parishioners and most especially the youth who shared bonding moments with me and made my stay very memorable.
May St John Bosco continue to inspire you to remain passionate for Christ, faithful to your Salesian Consecration and fruitful in your pastoral ministry especially among the poor and underprivileged youth of your parish. May our Bl. Mother Mary Help of Christians keep you always safe, solid and strong under the mantle of her powerful protection. GiGsss!
