"Damasku" in Philippine STAR
Seminary to present play on life of St. Paul
(Philippine Star, February 5, 2009, Business Section, page B-11 [People/Events])
DAGUPAN CITY - The Mary Help of Christians College Seminary (MHCCS) in Barangay Bonuan Gueset here in Dagupan City in cooperation with the Lay Formation Center (LFC) will present a play on the life of St. Paul titled "Damasku: Landas ni Pablo" on Feb. 12 to 15 at 6 p.m. at the Teatro Seminario.
The all-seminarian project is based on the experience of Paul on the road to Damascus where he encountered the Risen Christ. This encounter is actually the radiating center of hi conversion and mission to the Church.
The seminarian claim they, too, have a Damascus experience, a Damasku, a reson from which they draw the meaning of their vocation.
Fr. Mario Dominic C. Sanchez, LFC director and dean of studies at the MHCCS, said seminarians in the seminary know they are now in Damascus.
"Seminary life is a different kind of life wherein they have to follow strict rules for study period, prayer, housework and community activities," he said.
Sanchez said seminarians believe that this project on St. Paul will somehow serve as an avenue for them to show what they are going through.
"St. Paul walked that way before. So they hope that those who would watch the play can also journey through a Damascus road, and like Paul, they can, even by just a simple play, make a difference," he said.
The play is the MHCCS' response to the decree of Pope Benedict XVI making June 2008 to June 2009 as the Year of St. Paul to commemorate the saint's 2000th birth anniversary.
Support to the play can make a difference in the seminary's project to repair its 20-year old building. Please call (075) 515 8306 or (075) 515 5720 for more details about the play and for ticket reservations.
