Three days before their Ordination, the eleven deacons-elect of Saint Matthew Province had a virtual meeting with the Ordaining Prelate, Bishop Reynaldo Evangelista of the Diocese of Imus, on September 22, 2021. The candidates shared about their respective family background and vocation stories. The Bishop, in turn, narrated also his own vocation journey. He reminded the incoming deacons of the priority of their spiritual life and service of neighbors. The conversation ended with words of gratitude and the Blessing of the Bishop.
