On December 23, at the parish of the Holy Cross in San Juan, Philippines, we attended the priestly ordination of Brother Gregory. He was ordained by His Excellency the Most Reverend Broderick Pabillo, Auxiliary Bishop of Manila. In attendance was Fr. Solis, our Prior Provincial and Fr Napoleon, the Prior Provincial of the Philippine Province, Fray Jerome, the Vicar Provincial together with all the Brothers assigned to the Philippines as well as Fr. Hyacinth, the Prior of St. Albert, Hong Kong, and some representatives of the Province of the Philippines. The liturgy and music was very well arranged by the Student Brothers of the Province of the Philippines who since early morning were practicing and rehearsing for the ordination at 3:00 p.m. Likewise, there was a large representation of Dominican Sisters of the different Congregations, members of the Dominican Family in San Juan and some friends together with the parents of Fr. Gregory. The newly ordained thanked God, the Bishop, the communities where he has lived during the years of formation, all those in attendance and, in particular, the Student Brothers for their generous collaboration and participation in the liturgy of the ordination. 
After the picture taking a simple meal was offered to those who attended the ordination. We wish to Fray Gregory a meaningful life and fruitful ministry.
