Freshmen SJS Seminarians Meet CTK ‘Josefinos’
First-year seminarians from the San Jose Seminary in the Ateneo de Manila University Loyola campus visited the CTK parish – Greenmeadows Avenue last Tuesday, June 27. They were welcomed by ‘Josefinos Fr. Jose ‘Bong’ Tupino III (1993) and CTK parish priest; Monsignor Antonio Mortillero (1963); CTK guest priest Fr. Sergio ‘Serge’ Maniba (1995); and Bert Santos, PPC head coordinator (HS 1963). Each year, the freshmen group of the seminary, as part of their orientation, is required to visit parishes whose parish priests are ‘Josefinos. This year’s incoming batch is composed of 13 seminarians, accepted out of a total applicant pool of 140.
