During the meeting, the group reminisced the history and works of the Columban Missionaries in the island of Negros. The group shared how the Columbans touched and transformed their lives.
The seminarians were greatly inspired and encouraged as they listened to the heart-warming real-life stories of the people who worked and lived with the Columbans in Negros. The seminarians were also assured that there are people who continuously work and pray for the Columban mission and vocation in the island.
A fellowship lunch followed and more stories were shared. After the meal, Fr. Gore toured the group around the renovated San Columbano Compound. The new looks of San Columbano makes it more comfortable and conducive for retreats, seminars, recollections and gatherings. Located near the famous beach resorts in the province, San Columbano also provides the same ambiance its neighboring resorts offer.
The group bade farewell to each other and with the undying missionary zeal instilled by the Columban Missionaries, they returned to their respective parishes to continue their missions.
