URBIZTONDO, PANGASINAN- The Pre-novices participate in the Marian Youth Vigil 2022 (MYV) with the theme “Mary: She Listens, Contemplates and She goes,” held at Urbiztondo National Highschool last September 7-8, 2022.

The six pre-novices of the Province shared to the delegates insights regarding the theme on a three-part talk replete with animations, songs, and audio visual presentation.

“The experience was overwhelming,” said Bro. June Clark Solas, one of the pre-novices who talked about the topic on Mary and her action of “going.”

“I did not expect the intense cooperation given by the participants, which show their love and devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary,” he added.

Accompanying the pre-novices was Rev. Fr. Alan Jacinto, OAR, National Vocation Director of the Province of St. Ezekiel Moreno, who was “amazed” by the devotion of the youth to the Blessed Mother.

Fr. Jacinto said, “Masaya ako at namangha sa debosyon nila kay Maria.” “(I)nteresado ako na makilala pa ng mas malalim ang mga kabataan sa kanilang pananampalataya,” he added.

After the inputs, Fr. Jacinto and the pre-novices held a Vocation Talkshow together with the Sr. Lucille Encabo, AR and Sr. Hazel Galsing, AR who answered the queries of the delegates regarding vocational discernment.
