Images from the reopening of the CKC Museum

The Samar Archeological Museum of Christ the King College formally reopened yesterday. It has been renamed as the Fr. Cantius Kobak, ofm - Samar Archeological and Cultural Museum. The simple reopening program (which I hosted) preceded the Thanksgiving Mass which marked the start of TARAGPO 2010.

Here are some pictures I managed to take during the event.

The CKC Museum's new home

The CKC Museum is set to be reopened this coming December 29, 2010, in time for Taragpo 2010. I was at the CKC campus the past few days to finalize things for the opening and other details about Taragpo and the CSVP-CKC Alumni Association elections. Here are the pictures I took as workers got busy to finish the new home of the museum.

You might think that statue in front of the museum looks familiar. It should look familiar to every Christi Regian. It used to stand in front of the Technical Building, shown here:

This is still part of my posting of the various Nativity Scenes in Calbayog. This one is at "belen" at the Poor Clare Monastery Chapel.

images from the Midnight Mass

Bishop Isabelo Abarquez presided over the Midnight Mass at the jampacked Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral. Concelebrating with him were Fr. Iluminado Paulino, Fr. Armando Cagomoc, Fr. Julio Gadi and Fr. Job Tapel. As with the previous (Christmas) Midnight Masses, highlight of the celebration was the blessing of the Nativity Scene (belen) and the veneration of the Infant Jesus.

Here are some pictures I managed to take during the Mass. My apologies for the angle 'coz I was stuck in my area at the commentator's lectern.
