Our Friends from ST. JEROME EMILIANI SCHOOL at Roosevelt, Bataan Visited Aemilianum College

Fr. Lino Juta, CRS the superior of Aemilianum College joined our friends and visitors from the Bataan branch the St. Jerome Emiliani School. The ladies are: Sis. Rosario M. Morales, principal [the one in dark pink], the three others are teachers from the same school: Nena and Nora R. Babalo with Melanie C. Regencia.

Yesterday afternoon I went to the down town to have my regular haircut. When I returned later I was surprised to see lot of people leaving the College compound. I've found out that the participants in the on-going seminar on Psycho Education in Casa Miani Augusta and Piera in Our Lady's Village, Pangpang, Sorsogon City visited our school while I was away. Fortunately, one group was still in front of the school so that I was able to greet and talk to them.

Immediately I was greeted with joy by the delegates from St. Jerome Emiliani School in Bataan. The school principal, Sis. Rosario Morales held my hand tightly and say: "Fr. Abe I've been longing to see you. We regularly visit your Blog but we do not find about our school. My sister and I searched the site thoroughly." Ha, ha, ha...

Indeed it is true that I have not featured yet St. Jerome Emiliani School in this Blog. It is because I haven't been to St. Jerome Emiliani School in Roosevelt and I usually present here places and people that I have been through and have met. I promised to visit our School in Bataan once given the opportunity to be able to show you here not only the school but also the St. Jerome Emiliani Parish in the same place as well as the Casa Miani - Children and Religious Community in nearby Lubao, Pampanga.

Since this Blog is regularly updated there are many Somascan Lay Coordinators who are reading this one as well as students and alumni. Therefore, there are 3 sets of readers for this blog: those who are fond of Catholic Apologetics, those who are fond of simple spiritual reflections on ordinary Catholic life and the Somascans-Friends-Alumni and others. Thus, by failing to present one or two branches in the Blog is really unfair for our friends in the area.

Thus, I promise to complete the presentations of our Houses, Schools, Orphanages & Houses for the Needy in the Philippines. Watch out St. Jerome Emiliani, Bataan I'm coming soon. When? Only God knows. He, he, he... When the occasion and opportunity and superior's permission coincide into one.
