Masskara: The Face of Seminary in the Modern World

The Orionine Community in Montalban held the carousing Masquerade Festival for the night in relation to the various incidents of formation. On the 16^th of November, the seminarians, novices, religious, priests, the Cottolengo family and many lay people celebrated with us the monthly Orionight. We started with the Eucharistic celebration presided by the four priests, Fr. Anthony, our Superior, Fr. Stan, the Rector, Fr. Stefan, the Vicar of the Community and special participation of Fr. John Castillo who came from our parish community in Payatas. . We solemnly finished the mass with different joy as we first invited to wear artistic mask for the entire night. At first, it will sound indifferent to wear masks in hiding the self but we end up smiling as we displayed the beautiful maskara in our faces.

Haec Domus Mea: "Holyween night" with Mary.

The dawn of 31^st day of October, the seminary community witnessed again the mysterious yet conclusive calling of God upon repentance and reconciliation. As we usually do, recollection held upon the grace of God to reconcile our hearts into a deep religious commitment. We centralized Mary as our theme for the day with Fr. Stan as our keynote speaker.

October is the Month of the Blessed Virgin who invites us to be the soldiers in praying the Rosary. In her motherly guidance, the faithful are invited to offer these aromatic roses at her feet and present it to Jesus, her Son.

Mary is entitled as God-bearer. A living tabernacle that gave birth to the God incarnate at the obscured village. 
This Month of the Holy Rosary reveals the maternal manifestations of the Blessed Lady who became the first apostle of Jesus, and later on considered to be the tenet of Catholic faith.
How could it be that a young ordinary girl, no commitment and not interested in earthly things, will abruptly become the centerpiece of the church’s history?
