MINISTRY YEAR SEND-OFF
Shortly before the school year ended, SJVTS sent off its latest batch of MYers (or seminarians going on to Ministry Year). The 22 seminarians will be deployed in many parts of Mindanao as teachers, campus ministers and retreat directors. Shown above are pictures taken after they had received their MY Crosses. The past semester, the seminarians had taken the course "Principles and Methods of Teaching" with Fr. Dhems Berondo, Jr. Last March, they listened to more inputs and took part in teaching workshops conducted by Dr. Amphie Vedua-Dinagsao, Ms. Glenda Demata and Ms. Lera Faye Cotiangco -- all affiliated with Xavier University High School. A 3-day retreat given by Fr. Gil Escalante fittingly capped the seminarians' Pre-Ministry Year Program.
