Rev. Fr. Rolie Richie Gomez, MSC's grateful homecoming


In thanksgiving for the gift of vocation to the ministerial priesthood, the newly ordained Rev. Fr. Rolie Richie de la Pena Gomez, MSC returned to his home parish to celebrate his Thanksgiving Mass last January 22, 2010.


Fr. Gomez, son of Mrs. Rosario Gomez of Barangay Bororan, was ordained priest last January 19, 2010 at the Nuestra Senora Virgen de Regla Parish National Shrine, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu by His Eminece Ricardo J. Cardinal Vidal, D.D., the Archbishop of Cebu.


Hundreds of Donsolanons welcomed and joined him in thanksgiving as Fr. Gomez presides his first ever Eucharistic Celebration here in St. Joseph Parish, where his vocation was initially nourished. Fr. Gomez was also joined by his 11 brother priests from his congregation and group of friends from all over the country.


Part of his homecoming itenerary, Fr. Gomez also visited and said mass at barangays Sta. Cruz and San Rafael, two barangays closest to his heart. In the coming weeks, he is going to report to his new assignment as a parochial vicar at a community under the care Missionaries of the Sacred Heart somewhere in Mindanao.
