A Tragic Loss

May 12, 2007 at 5:00 p.m. While playing basketball, collegio filipino priests were stunned upon seeing their team mate Fr. Andy Carandang (Lipa) suddenly collapsed and minutes later passed away due to cardiac arrest. He was 38. Hundreds of priests from PCF and from the University of the Holy Cross came to concelebrate the Holy Mass at the Chapel of the said university five days after for the eternal repose of the soul of our friend, colleague, and brother. After the funeral Mass, the remains were brought to the airport for the following day's flight back to the Philippines where the burial would take place at his hometown. We have lost a great friend on earth, but we have gained a great intercessor in heaven!
