Fr. Jess celebrates silver years in priestly ministry

This year’s celebration of Holy Thursday, April 18, 2019 was a meaningful one to our beloved parish priest, Rev. Fr. Jess Samaniego, because it was also his 25 years in serving the people of God, thru his priestly vocation. On April 18, 1994, Fr. Jess was ordained as priest on his own parish, Sacred Heart of Jesus in Calinan, together with Bishop Abel Apigo.

The celebration of his sacerdotal anniversary started during the Rite of the Lord’s Supper, together with the 12 disciples of Jesus which was played by the PSLs from different GKKs of the Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Parish, Indangan. After the Rite, all parishioners who were there joined the fellowship dinner prepared by the Parish Pastoral Council, GKK Servant-leaders, Parish staff, PSA and all other ministries in the parish.

There were no other activities held that night because Fr. Jess wanted to celebrate it solemnly. Indeed it was a joyful and meaningful one for the dear parish priest. (Anabelle Ejercito Encluna | OLMMP Indangan SoCCom)
