Fr Eduardo Revilla, Jubilarian
PORT MORESBY: 20 March 2012 -- On March 17, 2012, Fr. Eduardo Revilla celebrated his Golden Jubilee of Ordination to the Priesthood. He is presently the Rector of the Savio Haus Aspirantate in Boroko, Papua New Guinea. He was also a missionary in the Philippines for a long time before coming over to PNG. He first came to PNG from the Philippines in 1994. After six years at Vunabosco, he returned to the Philippines. Then in 2007 he again joined the PNG-SI Delegation.
We can say that the Lord has truly blessed their family because their parents gave six of their children to the Lord as Salesian Religious, four priests and two sisters. Fr. Lazaro Revilla, Eduardo's brother, was a Provincial of FIN.
To celebrate this momentous event in the life of Fr. Eduardo, a solemn Mass was held at the Shrine of Mary Help of Christians in Boroko. The Archbishop of Port Moresby, John Ribat, MSC, DD and other priests and religious also graced the event. Members of the Salesian Family: the SDBs assigned in Port Moresby, FMAs, Caritas Sisters of Jesus, Salesian Cooperators, Bosconians and friends all gathered to join in the celebration. The aspirants of Savio Haus led the music and the singing.
After the Mass, there was supper and item presentations. There were songs, dances and speeches.
Fr. Eduardo takes as his inspiration and motto: “The Good Shepherd lays down his life for his sheep.â€
