Today, Divine Word Hospital - St. Paul's Hospital celebrates the Feast Day of St. Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western Monasticism and founder of the Benedictine way of life.
A solemn Mass was presided over by Rev. Fr. Patricio R. Delos Reyes Jr., SVD, together with Rev. Fr. Frederick Lauricio, SVD, and attended by the Benedictine Sisters, medical professionals, DWH employees, patients, and visitors. The celebration also featured the Rite of Acceptance of postulants, novices, and for full pledged oblates, as well as the Renewal of fully pledged oblates. These rites were led by Sr. Adelaida Ygrubay, OSB, the Mother Superior of the CBS of DWH Tacloban City—gathering the DWH community in a spirit of faith and gratitude.
St. Benedict’s enduring Rule of Life continues to encourage us with its call to “Ora et Labora” (Pray and Work).
“That in all things, God may be glorified.”
