Fr. Erestain is the new OLPS Minor Rector

The Very Reverend Father Roger Joseph B. Erestain, JCL (OLPS Batch1990-1994) is the new Rector of OLPS Minor. Aside from being the Rector, he serves concurrently as the Vice-Chancellor of the Diocese; a member of the Judicial Board, Seminary Council, and Seminary Board; and the Board secretary of SAPEPAU and GNSFI. He was appointed as OIC Rector of the seminary last Holy Thursday, April 9, 2009. He will assume office at the start of the school year 2009-2010.

Joining him in managing the seminary will be Rev. Mr. Edmon Benzon. Rev. Edmon was ordained to the order of deacons just recently (March 26, 2009). The seminary is still waiting for the return of the persons who went on study leave abroad.

Rev. Fr. Jasper D. Valdez, who was the Prefect of Seminarians for the past 5 years, will be assigned as parochial vicar of the Parish of St. Anthony of Padua in Gubat, Sorsogon.

Congrats Fr.Erestain and we pray and hope that you will bring OLPS Minor to even greater prestige and renown. :-)
