In May - June we also had the great joy to have a veteran Oblate of the SSPX, Sr. Maria Regina, who came to see our apostolate and to speak by words and actions of the Oblates to all our Bethanians.   81. At the end of the summer, two priests made a short stay in the Philippines: Fr. Fabrice Loschi came to replace Fr. Vernoy, and Fr. Richard Vachon stopped over on his way to help the Indian Missions. Fr. Loschi is at the back of the picture the first on the right. Fr. Vachon is the 4th from the right.   82. Fr. Vachon was going to India to replace Fr. Benoit Wailliez who was coming to the Philippines to replace Fr. McMahon who was sent to England to replace another priest (such is the SSPX!).   83. 84. October, month of the Holy Rosary, was chosen for our new pilgrimage to Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag. Almost 300 people joined in the 12 km walk.   85.

At present there are two Curiae and about twenty Praesidia in the Philippines.   86. Another fruit of the Saint Niño was the arrival in the Philippines of the Order of the knights of Our Lady, an order for men to promote the Social Kingship of Christ.   87. We can neither forget the purchase, in this same year, of 12 acres of land for our future Brothers' Noviciate near Iloilo. 88.   previous page contents next page
