MMJP's pride, Fr. Jayvee Zuniga, was finally ordained to the priesthood last October 3 at the Manila Cathedral. His Eminence Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales was the ordaining prelate. Despite the threats of the super typhoon, priests and lay people still flocked the cathedral. Members of the MMJP PPC attended the ordination and the reception which followed at the Manila Cathedral School in Tayuman.
The following day, October 4, Fr. Jayvee and his family and friends were at the MMJP for his First Thanksgiving Mass. It was a very solemn celebration as Fr. Jayvee, together with some of the newly ordained priests, celebrated his first mass. His beautiful singing voice added to the solemnity of the Eucharistic celebration. A simple reception and program followed at the Cardinal Sin Hall.
I feel privileged to have been chosen by Fr. Jayvee to assist him during the investiture and to deliver the homily during his first mass.
