Feast of St. Camillus in Essen

July 9 -  A special Mass for the sick and the elderly was celebrated in St. Camillus Church at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Fr. Manny Tamayo, the superior of the Camillians in Essen, was the main celebrant. Fr. Jörg Gabriel concelebrated. During the holy celebration, the Sacrament of Anointing was administered. Afterwards, everybody gathered in the Parish Hall for coffee and cakes.

From a distance, I could smell the fantastic aroma of delicious food.  Sayang… the five scholastics had to go home after the mass that is why; they could not taste the good food.  Anyway, “Man does not live by bread alone, but by the Word that comes from God!”  More important is how St. Camillus MedHaven celebrated the Feast of St. Camillus.

Last July 07, 2008, seven days before the Feast Day of our Founder, the residents, staff, and volunteers of St. Camillus MedHaven launched the Sports fest. 

“I didn’t feel bad! I felt very very bad!”  With these words, be it a joke or not, a sincere public apology should be made.  The pilosopo republic hereby apologizes to Bro. Dan Cancino, MI, for not including him in the list of professors and instructors attached in the last inbox.  Mea Culpa!

By the way, what’s the real news? It’s already July, what could we expect? Of course, the pilosopo republic could not also be spared from celebrating the feast day of our founder.  It’s just once a year.  Right?

Personally captivated by the initial information we fed him, Dr. Love made sure that the succeeding discussion in his program would be a spirited one. Sure enough, with St. Camillus de Lellis as the main topic of his show that night, our conversation on air went great and well-received by his avid fans.

 
Good News from Balugo – High School will begin here starting this school year.  The first year has begun with a plan to add 2nd year, etc., next year until we have a four year High School.

The problem is that only two teachers will teach all subjects for First Year students.  Guess funds are lacking to get more teachers.  At least there will be adequate CR’s.

The St. Camillus Scholasticate Community, spearheaded by the committee responsible for spiritual life, conducted the Novena to St. Camillus from July 5 to 13, 2008.  We prayed hard for our Camillian confreres, for the sick and for our Order.
