PARISHIONERS GIVE SEMINARIANS FINANCIAL SUPPORT, MOTHERLY CARE
UCANews.com
Philippines
July 29 1998
Laypeople in a Quezon City parish offer both financial help and motherly care to 13 financially pressed seminarians from the northern Philippines doing their theology studies in Manila.
Remedios Samala, a leading sponsor at Hearts of Jesus and Mary Parish, recently received the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice papal award especially for her help to the seminarians of Tarlac diocese, 110 kilometers northwest of Manila.
Samala donated 50,000 pesos (US$1,200) to Our Lady of Peace Formation House, where the seminarians live, from sponsors of her award investiture alone, said Monsignor Orlando Panlican, rector at the center.
“Aside from this, the formation house has received more or less 139,000 pesos in addition to our monthly supply of eggs, longaniza (native sausage) and other food supplies,” he added.
While the widow, a native of Tarlac province, has been a liaison between the center and prospective benefactors, “her greatest help for the formation house is her motherly concern for our needs,” said Monsignor Panlican.
“She is very active in the life of the foundation house, visiting us often,” said Lloyd Lugtu, at 24 the oldest seminarian at the center.
The second of four children of a teacher and her engineer husband, Lugtu recalled how “very happy” his parents were when he decided to enter the seminary, but they could not pay for his studies without help.
Lugtu, who studied theology at the Pontifical University of Santo Tomas (UST), has lived at the formation house for five years. He awaits his priestly ordination next year.
Another seminarian at the center, Peter de la Cruz, recalls how the seminarians once stayed at Samala´s house “when the electricity at the formation house was cut off because we weren´t able to pay our bill.”
The third of four children of a retired electrician and his unemployed wife, de la Cruz, 23, is also studying theology at UST as he anticipates his priesthood ordination in two years. Samala´s home is just a few blocks from the center, and it is always open to the seminarians to drop in for a chat, said Monsignor Panlican.
A special bond exists, he said, noting how once when Samala was hospitalized, the seminarians donated blood as well as visited her and prayed with her at her bedside.
The formation house was founded in June 1994 by Bishop Florentino Cinense of Tarlac. Comprising the civil province of Tarlac, the diocese has some 950,000 people, 85 percent of whom are Catholics.
The Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice award, instituted by Pope Leo XIII in 1888, is given to people for services to the Church and the papacy. Former president Corazon Aquino was among those at the June 20 ceremony for Samala.
