Repair of SJVTS SACRISTY in FULL SWING!

Repair and reconstruction of the SJVTS Sacristy is now in full swing. We thank our generous donors who welcomed us to their homes for our traditional Christmas caroling as well as those from Quiapo, Manila and Lipa, Batangas who responded to Fr. Jun Kentilitisca 'out-of-Mindanao' campaign. We continue to humbly ask you for your assistance for the project. We have below an artist's rendition of the improved Sacristy and our letter of request for your support.  Again, we thank you for supporting St. John Vianney Theological Seminary.



















Dear Friends,

Peace in Christ!

Established in 1985, the St. John Vianney Theological Seminary of Cagayan de Oro remains an important institution of formation and learning for future diocesan priests of the Southern Philippines. A crucial theme of formation which we wish to inculcate in the minds of our seminarians is the love and respect for church liturgy and the Sacrament of the Eucharist, the devotion to which, they themselves are tasked to promote.

In this regard, may we ask from you a little help from your generous heart. Our Chapel Sacristy – the repository of our sacred vestments and vessels – is in dire need of repair and reconstruction. Planned improvements in the area include the repair of the sacristy roof/ ceiling, the tiling of floors, and the construction of a Sacrarium (special lavatory to wash the sacred linens), Ambry (repository for oils), Tabernacle (should the chapel be used other than for liturgical celebrations), as well as the construction of toilet facilities and meeting rooms. We would wish to raise a little more than P200,000.00 to defray the cost of the construction.

We would very much appreciate whatever help or suggestion you may wish to share with us. You can get in touch with us through the undersigned at Mobile No. 0918-461-4481 or Tel. Nos. (08822) 724-135/ 712-780.

Your assistance will go a long way in helping the seminary become a true institution of learning and formation for our future priests.

Very truly yours,
FR. ROMEO G. KENTILITISCA, JR.
