I would like to congratulate our seminarian, Ian Gabinete. We have been sponsoring him for a couple of years. He will be ordained as a Catholic priest at the end of the month in his hometown, Paranaque. He is a graduate of San Jose Major Seminary at the Ateneo de Manila in Katipunan, Quezon City. Ian has always been at the top of his class. He has been the president of an organization that represents all seminarians in the Philippines.
I met him for the first time in July last year when I went back for my high school reunion. He is very low-key and very smart. His future parishioners are lucky to have him as their priest. Dh and I are very proud of him and wish him well. Congratulations Father Ian!
