The community of the Anthonian Institute celebrated the Solemnity of St. Joseph last March 20, 2023/ Monday.
The Solemnity was celebrated on the 20th of march since the proper Feast falls on a sunday and it gives way to the Sunday Celebration liturgy. But prior to the Feast, the community started with the Triduum in honor of St. Joseph with the themes indicated by the Founder of the Rogationists, St. Hannibal Mary Di Francia. It is the special Patron of the congregation of the Rogationists and the Daughters of the Divine Zeal. St. Joseph for St. Hannibal is the protector of the congregation and Father of Providence. He is also declared by St. Hannibal as Master of Interior Life of every Rogationist. During the celebration, Fr. Herbie Canete was the main celebrant and concelebrated by Fr. Tirso emphasized in his homily that St. Joseph is an intercessor of Vocations in the congregation. The lamp at the feet of Joseph symbolizes the eternal life for Vocations. This is to ask his intercession for more holy workers in the Church. Before the mass ended, a devotional profession of the vows was made at the feet of St. Joseph by all the members of the community.
