Father Andrei is the third of four children, he and his brother Jercio being 'sandwiched' between their sisters Mitzie and Katrina.

Father Andrei has been serving as a deacon at Malate Catholic Church, Manila, and will continue there until he takes up an overseas mission next year.
To the newly-ordained priest we wish the old Latin greeting that means 'to many years': Ad multos annos!
Pax tecum! Peace be with you!

Deaf graduate's speech
More than being an inspiring testimony, the speech is an eye-opener not only to those who are deprived of the sense of hearing and their parents, but specially to the rest of us hearing
populace. I'm sure everyone has, one way or another, experienced being excluded, being made to feel useless which, in extreme cases leads to feeling a little less human (like some kind of a freak) - all unpleasant, all painful. I think most of the time we, hearing ones, are unaware of how hurtful one tiny act of exclusion can be unless, of course, when we're at the receiving end. I believe this seemingly callous (and the extreme overly protective) attitude comes from -to put it bluntly - our ignorance. We need to be educated. Speeches-from-the-heart like this can do wonders. Thank you for sharing it with us.
