“In this synodal journey together with our shared profession as priests, it is essential to take time for personal reflection, renewal, and recommitment to the sacred calling we have received from Jesus Christ, our high priest,” said Vergara reading the statement of the CBCP during a press conference held at the Archbishop’s Palace in Cebu City on Tuesday morning.
Speakers in the three-day gathering will include Irish nun Sr. Briege McKenna, who is known for the “gift of healing.” She has been giving retreats for priests for over 50 years in over 100 countries. Fe Barino, Archdiocese of Cebu working committee chair, said they are arranging pilgrimage tours for visiting priests to the Venerable Teofilo Camomot Shrine in Carcar City, the Our Lady of Simala Shrine in Sibonga, and the Our Lady of Fatima Capellina in San Remegio, among other widely visited religious sites in Cebu.
