Priesthood as a gift and a mystery! This is how Rev. Fr. Herman Abcede, RCJ,  the Major Superior of the Philippine Delegation of the Rogationists of the Heart of Jesus said about his ministry as a priest on the occasion of his 15th Sacerdotal Anniversary held at the Delegation House on June 8, 2011.

Rogationist confreres, postulants, members of the Union of Prayer for Vocations, friends and benefactors were present on this special day. The simple celebration began with the Holy Mass presided by Fr. Herman himself and concelebrating with him were confrere-priests from nearby communities. During the homily, Fr. Herman reminisced his vocation story as he emphasized on priesthood’s being a gift from God and thus must be shared, and it’s being mysterious, as something that cannot be comprehended all at once, yet little by little through the exercise of the Holy Office.

After the Holy Mass, breakfast followed.
