PRESENTATION<br />
by the Provincial Superior<br />
LUDOVICO TACDORO, JR.<br />
TO BE ORDAINED DEACON<br />
“This bulletin will contain not just the substance of the official acts of the Provincial<br />
Government which are published in the circulars but also other information that would be<br />
of interest to our confreres—and to the members of the Pauline Family who otherwise<br />
are not reached by the circulars.”<br />
DURING THE 4th SSP Provincial Chapter for Programming<br />
in Cebu, one of the desires expressed by the Capitulars was<br />
a constant flow of information on the life and apostolate of<br />
the Province. Members far from Makati, the “nerve center”<br />
of the Province, especially feel this need which is not fully<br />
met by the circulars coming from the office of the Provincial<br />
Secretary. This desire was translated into a Chapter guideline<br />
which reads: “The PROVINCIAL INFORMATION OFFICE<br />
(PIO) shall be more functional and effective” (n 4.2.4).<br />
It is to implement this guideline that the Provincial<br />
Government is reviving the SSP information bulletin Shalom!.<br />
This bulletin will contain not just the substance of the official<br />
acts of the Provincial Government which are published in the<br />
circulars but also other information that would be of interest<br />
to our confreres—and to the members of the Pauline Family<br />
who otherwise are not reached by the circulars.<br />
In recent years, however, the bulletin did not come out<br />
regularly. This time we are encouraged by the fact that Fr. Gil<br />
Alinsangan has agreed to the wish of the Capitulars to take<br />
charge of the bulletin as he had done with shalom during his<br />
term as provincial surperior. Being a provincial councilor and<br />
assistant provincial secretary, Fr. Gil is privy to the life of the<br />
Province and therefore a communicator to others.<br />
With the revived shalom, we hope to reach out to one<br />
another and come closer as brothers and sisters.<br />
Shalom! Peace to one and all! May the Lord bless our<br />
new undertaking.<br />
—Fr. Celso Godilano, SSP<br />
Cl. Boogie Tacdoro<br />
With the official communication dated<br />
September 25, the General Government<br />
informed the provincial superior that it<br />
has approved the application of Ludovico<br />
“Boogie” Tacdoro Jr. for the ordination to<br />
the diaconate.<br />
The ordination will take place at<br />
the Sanctuary of St. Paul in Makati City<br />
on November 17, Sunday, at four in the<br />
afternoon. Most Rev. Socrates Villegas,<br />
auxiliary bishop of Manila, will be the<br />
ordaining prelate.<br />
The candidate was born in Igbaras,<br />
Iloilo, on October 15, 1972. He finished<br />
theology at the Loyola School of Theology in<br />
2001 and made his perpetual profession on<br />
August 20, 2001. Currently he is in charge of<br />
ST PAULS Electronic Media.<br />
Congratulations,<br />
Rev. Boogie...<br />
