My 31st Birthday

Maggie and Damian LaGrange.

With the LaGrange family: Damian, Maggie, DJ, Gabriel, Jonas, Lucas and Evan.

My St. Mary's Filipino parishioners (Gabe, Nanay, Camela, Ms. CL, Tony, Tess, Ate Au, Miss Cagayan de Oro, and the paparatzzi!

Today, I am celebrating my 31st Birthday and my first ever as a priest! This morning at 9, I presided a mass to thank the Lord for the gift of life, then followed by the 24hrs. exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. The church was quite full. Lots of well wishers after the mass. After the liturgical celebrations I invited the LaGrange family to join me for lunch at the Jasmine Palace. It was a great birthday party with Damian's family. Tonight, some Filipino friends of mine are taking me to Capri for my birthday supper!
