| Happy 80th Birthday |
Happy 80th Birthday Last July 14, 2010, we have celebrated the 80th birthday of our very own Bro. Francis Joseph, fm. held in Hospicio de San Juan de Dios. This is a surprise social gathering of our Companions, friends, and benefactors. We would like to extend our warmest gratitude to the Lord for what He had done to make this commemoration possible and providential than what we have expected. Fr. Avel Sampana, our chaplain, offered the mass in honor of St. Camillus de Lellis. Afterwards, a simple lunch for our guests proceeded. Despite of the inconveniences and incommodity of our services, because of the loss of electricity all over Bulacan, Manila, and Laguna, the celebration continued. As the result of which, we haven’t shown the prepared video presentations for the celebrant. We would like to acknowledge the help of our Companions, friends, and benefactors, especially, Mrs. Lam, who personally baked the birthday cake and lots of decorated cupcakes for the celebrant and patients. Also, to the Lions Club from Quezon City who brought us the couple clowns who uplift the cheerfulness of the crowd. And most of all, to those who shared their time, bread and vigorous effort to make this celebration memorable and unforgettable for one another. Labels: news |
