and ½ of mission, Rev. Fr. Stefan Bulai,FDP has said goodbye to the Island of

Father Stefan Bulai, FDP, from Sabaoani Reamt, Romania, Son of
Divine Providence, ordained priest on May 24, 2008, arrived the first time in
the Philippines on January 31, 2009. He was assigned in Payatas Community. On May
16, 2010, he moved to Montalban where he had the charge of Novice-Master, with
five (5) Novices.

On May 30, 2013, Fr. Stefan is called to shift in Montalban
and have charge of the Cottolengo Filipino, our orphanage for children with
disability. From there, situation obliging, on September 1, 2014, a new
arrangement of our Communities leads him to take charge of the Novitiate once
again till May 31, 2015. And he returned to his office as Director of the
Cottolengo where he will stay until his departure from the Philippines last
April 06, 2017.
Eight (8) good years of movements, challenges, sacrifices
spent in joy and self-dedication, that is what one could say of the missionary
experience of Fr. Stefan in the Philippines.

Cottolengo have given thanks with him to the Lord in a Eucharistic celebration on
March 30 in the precinct of the Cottolengo Filipino. On the April 06, the day

We wish to Fr. Stefan Bulai a safe tripe and happy mission
in his new destination. Thank you for the testimony given here in the
Philippines and many blessings in whatever will be the new assignment.
Ave Maria and always onwards with Saint Luigi Orione.
Buon Viaggio caro
Don Stefan.
