Fr. Nicolas Was In Manila

Fr. Nicolas was in Manila this past weekend to join the Philippine Jesuits celebrate their sesquicentennial, 1859-2009. He is not a stranger to our country, for he has been here for several years: first, as professor at the East Asian Pastoral Institute, a spiritual and theological renewal center in the Ateneo de Manila campus for missionaries, priests, religious sisters, and interested lay partners; second, as its director. Just before his election to his present position, he was director of the Jesuit center to direct and coordinate the Jesuit apostolate in Asia and Oceania. His visit to our country was some kind of a homecoming for him, and a prayer of thanks for 150 years of Jesuit presence in our country.
