A Folllow up Retreat for Filipino Priests

Retreat for diocesan priests to focus on Church laws

MANILA, Oct. 16, 2010—In line with the current concern of Pope Benedict XVI for the life in ministry of priests in these challenging times, Theological Centrum is holding a retreat for diocesan priests to serve as a follow up of the aim of the last year's Year for Priests: “Faithfulness of Christ, faithfulness of the Priest”.
Talks and workshops during the retreat will focus on Church laws and procedures that priests and lay faithful must be aware of to guide the life and ministry of priests.
Held annually for some years now, the retreat for diocesan priests was started by Theological Centrum as part of its program to assist the dioceses in their on-going formation programs for the secular clergy.
This was made possible through the Studium Theologiae Foundation Inc., an initiative of a group of professionals, who were eager to assist priests in their response to the Second Vatican Council's call to facilitate their on-going formation.
The retreat is scheduled on November 15-18, 2010, in Tagaytay Conference Center, in Mendez, Cavite.
Retreat preacher will be Rev. Fr. Daniel Icatlo, J.C.D., a priest of the Prelature of Opus Dei.
Together with various pastoral tasks in the Prelature, particularly as Chaplain of Southridge School, Fr. Icatlo also serves as a Judge of the National Appellate Matrimonial Tribunal of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines.
Aside from the meditations to be given by Fr. Icatlo, there will also be talks by Fr. Francisco Aniban, J.C.D., of the Prelature of Opus Dei.
Fr. Aniban is a Chaplain of Southridge School and also a Judicial Vicar of the Tribunal of First Instance of the Diocese of Antipolo.
Diocesan priests who are in need of few days of quiet and personal reflection are encouraged to avail of this opportunity that would help deepen their spiritual life and ministry.
Priests who have not yet made their retreat for the year 2010 and are interested to join this group, may contact Theological Centrum, 5th Floor, Quad Alpha Centrum Building, 125 Pioneer Street, Mandaluyong, Manila, 1505 Philippines; call Telefax (02) 635 6113 or E-mail: theologicalcentrum@yahoo.com.
