On-going INTRAMURALS
Here are some pictures that happened just this morning (oct12)... during the opening ceremonies of the intramurals... hope these pictures will somehow awaken in you the feeling of nostalgia.
The intramurals' theme is: Clash of the Empires! Celts, Spartans, Sioux...

Foundation Anniversary
This will be the simple celebration of the foundation anniversary of the seminary. I was really at a loss how to plan out activities for the non-ordained alumni for I don't know whom to contact. mea culpa! mea culpa! mea culpa! Nevertheless, all alumni (both ordained and non-ordained) are cordially invited for the celebration of the foundation anniversary of the seminary...But as much as possible we tried to incorporate the non-ordained in the foundation activities.
If you come, we will surely try to make you feel at home... and maybe we can plan out for future activities that involve you. Promise.
To all alumni, I am begging for your understanding, the concerns of the seminary and the formation of the seminarians entrusted to me oftentimes overwhelm me... Maybe you also know the feeling of trying to do so many things but ending up feeling that nothing has been done.
Mea culpa. Mea culpa. Mea culpa.
O pan-o, magkiritaan na lang kita sa Octobre 17, 2007?

Work in Progress
Aside from the seminarians (who are the real work-in-progress), the seminary is undergoing repainting and renovation. These works-in-progress have progressed steadily. Thanks to the generous donors and persons who are making these possible.
Although there is still much to be done and there is the constant need for support, we, who have been tasked to take good care of this our beloved alma mater, are very optimistic about her future because of the encouragement and support that we have been getting. (Most of the times, just simple affirmations and "taps in the back" really help. And even unsolicited pieces of advice and negative criticisms are now welcome because we are now secured that our actions are done with best intentions for the seminary, the seminarians and ultimately for the church.)
The repainting of the part of the main building facing the grotto has been done. White and green are the colors chosen for they are really the colors of the Our Lady of Peñafrancia Seminary. (Just to make an initial acknowledgment of alumni donors, the non-ordained alumni contributed P35,000.00 and some ordained alumni contributed P50,000.00+. Individual donors have been acknowledged personally. A really HUGE thanks mga sano.)
The new pews for the seminary chapel are being varnished also.
This coming month, we will be launching a project (Project AKI*). AKI is an acronym for Alay Kay Ina. Its main objective is the completion of the chapel (ceiling and flooring) renovation. Details of the said project are being ironed out. Hopefully through this project, support from those who love the seminary will truly come.
God bless us all always.

Always Ready!
Last July 6, 2007 (Friday), the whole seminary community (College and high school seminarians) underwent a whole day seminar-workshop on fire prevention and disaster readiness. The seminar was conducted by the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP). It was a welcome "relief" from the routinary activities of the seminarians. They even had the chance to put out fire and ride the Fire truck...
