Those who arrived early enjoyed the Jolibee nearby where we took some hot chocolates and pancakes for breakfast.

In the earlier post this month I presented some pictures about our Defensores Fidei Foundation's Lenten Recollection held last April 6, 2009 at Don Bosco, Makati City. The photos I used earlier were taken from the Blog of Bro. Mars and now let me present some from my camera. These are some remnants of the corrupted files.

The younger ones joined us: Bro. Miguel, Bro. Harold Calderon, Fr. Abe, Bro. Mars, Bro. Rudolf Camaclang, Bro. Kit Rapido and Bro. Mon Soncuya.

Bro. Jayson Leones of Centro Escolar University joined the group. He is the large, cute bear at the far left.

Fr. Abe before the touching words of St. John Bosco expressing love and service for his poor boys until death. It reminds me of almost the same statement of St. Jerome Emiliani for his Orphan Boys spoken centuries before St. John Bosco -- "I want to live and die with them!" - ST. JEROME EMILIANI.

Bro. Rudolf one of the young apologist in training. In the next picture he is shown presenting report during the meeting.
