THOMASIAN priests and bishops participating at the national congress for the clergy will have a back-to-back celebration as they gather for their homecoming at the University of Sto. Tomas (UST) on Friday.
Alumni of UST seminary are set to celebrate their annual homecoming on January 29, when the clergy ends their five-day retreat-congress at World Trade Center.
The Thomasian clergy homecoming will focus on the theme “Faithfulness of Christ, faithfulness of priests”, following the theme of the clergy congress and the Year for Priests.
The assembly will also include discussion of planned activities that will involve Thomasian priests for the forthcoming quadricentennial anniversary of UST in 2011. UST Rector Magnificus Fr. Rolando de la Rosa, OP will lead the discussion of the preparations for the upcoming jubilee celebration.
Priests celebrating their jubilees will be feted with a program to mark the milestone in their priesthood. Among the jubilarians are Manila Auxiliary Bishop-Emeritus Teodoro Buhain, who will celebrate his golden jubilee, and Fr. Isidro Abano, OP., his silver jubilee.
Thomasian clergy will be ferried by buses from the congress’ venue to UST Central seminary. The homecoming kicks off with a dinner-program at 7:30 p.m. Friday followed with the oath-taking of newly-ordained Thomasians at the Central Seminary Garden.
Host of this year’s alumni gathering is Batch 1985.
