A Seminary Named After St. Joseph the Worker

Shortly after I posted in my blog   about Bishop Chito G. Tagle, DD, STD,   I remembered  that  today is Labor Day.

The patron saint of workers  is St. Joseph-- carpenter,  head of the Holy Family and the guardian of the Redeemer. His  feast days are  March 19 (as patron of the Catholic Church)  and   May 1 (as patron of workers).

In Manila, one of the major seminaries is  San Jose-- named after St. Joseph the Worker.  Situated within the campus of Ateneo de Manila, it is the alma mater of several archbishops, bishops-- like  Bishop Chito G. Tagle-- and  priests  from all around the  Philippines.

The current  rector of San Jose Seminary is Fr Silvino "Jun-jun" L.  Borres, S.J.  Recently  he issued a an urgent message. He is appealing to generous individuals to support the seminary, which is now facing financial difficulties.

Please read the message below then share with  those whom you believe can help.  If you wish to donate or make a pledge, you may  reach Fr. Borres, S.J.,  at (632)  426-6091  or via  email:  sjs@admu.edu.ph or visit  http://sanjoseseminary.org/
