Last September 18-20, 2011, with the presence of Fr Edoardo Scognamiglio, The Provincial of Naples, the Filipino Friars in solemn vows, gathered together at St Joseph formation house, Tagaytay City for a fraternal gathering.

It was a moment of fraternity, of information sharing, of consultation, and most of all, of spiritual renewal.  In this occasion we express and increase our sense of fraternal love which distance and apostolates often separate us. We are warmly encouraged to mutually and confidently manifest our needs and aspirations.
It was a moment to inform; we listen to the information to be presented to the Guardians and whichever friars are responsible for actually carrying out some particular mandate of the Custody. This is a moment of consultation particularly geared toward custodial apostolic activity. Each friar is being called to participate with lively sense of responsibility and offer their own personal experience in the solution of challenges and the advancement of projects.
