It was a short vacation and I'm just happy to be home.

Last May 1, we had the chance to attend the 120th Annual Fiesta Celebration of the Patron St. Joseph the Worker in San Policarpio, a barangay of the City of Calbayog, Samar, Philippines.

On the feast of St. Joseph the Worker, the mass was officiated by Most Rev. Isabelo C. Abarquez D.D. (Bishop of Calbayog) with seven young priests, visiting priests and diocesan clergies as concelebrants.
