May 19, 2024 - Mudeng, La Paz, Abra.

On Pentecost Sunday, Fr. Leo Bobila, CS celebrated his 25th Priestly anniversary in his parish, St. Francis Xavier Parish, Mudeng, Abra. The mass was celebrated in Ilokano, his native language. The occasion was graced by the presence of Fr. Leo's mother, close relatives, schools' friends and many faithful in the parish. Concelebrated with him were Fr. Simon Petrus Keren, SVD, the parish priest, some SVD priests, and some Scalabrinian priests, deacons and religious.

After the mass, there was a simple celebration at the parish hall. This was a joyful and memorable occasion for his family and the parish because he is the first and only priest from the parish until now.

Fr. Leo is known as a simple and dedicated Scalabrinian missionary who has been working in many countries, especially in the formation ministry in Indonesia and the Philippines.

Let us continue praying for him and his ministry that he can be always the Instrument of God's Love to those entrusts to him.
