The Carmelite Missionary Sisters of the Child Jesus at Santa Marinella (1 hour drive from Rome) were very happy to receive the PCF priests who came to celebrate the so-called Simbang Gabi which started at 7:30 p.m. A good number of sisters in the generalate house are Filipina, mostly from the Visayas and Mindanao. The PCF Coordinator of Student-Priests, Fr. Richard Tan, was the main celebrant. The Father Rector, Msgr. Stude Santos, was the one giving the homily which zeroed in on three things related to Christmas: God is reaching out to us, God redeems us, and God restores our true dignity through the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. After the Mass, Filipino food was served to all of us.
