De La Salle Bahay Pag-Asa Joins Apostolate Day of San Agustin Major Seminary

Last May 2, 2026, De La Salle Bahay Pag-Asa Dasmariñas (DLSBPD) participated in the Apostolate Day of the San Agustin Major Seminary in support of Bro. Niño, who faithfully served his ministry at DLSBPD for one year.

The event was a meaningful gathering that highlighted the importance of pastoral formation, service, and community engagement. For the residents and staff of Bahay Pag-Asa, it was a special opportunity to reconnect with Bro. Niño and celebrate the impact of his presence during his time in the facility. Through his ministry, he provided spiritual guidance, encouragement, and companionship to the children, helping them grow in faith and values.

During the Apostolate Day, participants were able to witness the seminarians’ commitment to their vocation and their dedication to serving communities, especially those in need of guidance and formation. The involvement of Bahay Pag-Asa in this event reflects its continued partnership with institutions that share the same mission of holistic formation and transformation.

The visit also served as a reminder of the lasting relationships formed through service. Bro. Niño’s one-year ministry at DLSBPD left a meaningful imprint on the lives of the residents, and his journey toward priesthood continues to inspire both the children and staff.

De La Salle Bahay Pag-Asa expresses its gratitude to the San Agustin Major Seminary for the invitation and for fostering a spirit of collaboration and shared mission. Events like this strengthen the commitment to guide the youth toward a life of purpose, faith, and hope.
