SAN JOSE BATANGAS- Last August 22, on the occasion of the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, two priests and four deacons were ordained under the Oblates of St. Joseph (O.S.J.), a religious order founded by St. Joseph Martello in 1878 with the charism of work for the youth and the poor. One of the newly ordained priests is Rev. Fr. Ferdimagne Coronel Pascua, O.S.J. who took his perpetual profession in 2014. Fr. Pascua has roots in Hagonoy, Bulacan, making him the 114th son of the town to be ordained to the Sacred Priesthood.


The ordination took place at the Archdiocesan Shrine and Parish of St. Joseph the Patriarch in San Jose, Batangas, a church handled by the O.S.J. confreres and one of the oldest ones they still handle. He was ordained together with Rev. Fr. Helbert E. Jadraque, O.S.J. and Reverends Aldrich Gamboa, O.S.J., Gilbert Aboyo Hervias, O.S.J., Rodrigo Pecto, O.S.J. and Niño Randolf Reyes Subiaco, O.S.J. They were ordained by Most Rev. Agustinus Agus, Archbishop of Pontianak, Indonesia. He is presently assigned at the Archdiocesan Shrine of St. Joseph the Patriarch in San Jose, Batangas where he is Parochial Vicar. Previously, Fr. Pascua has been assigned in O.S.J. parishes in the Archdiocese of Manila and in the Diocese of Pasig. 

The officers of the Kapatiran ng Kapariang Taga-Hagonoy, Inc. has invited Fr. Pascua to become the presider for the Eucharistic celebration for this year's anniversary of the Parish of St. Anne as a national shrine on October 29, 2015. KAKATHA News Admin.
