FOREWORD
DIAMOND: Valuing a Priest's Year of Service
Rev. Fr. Nicanor Trinidad Victorino
Rev. Fr. Nicanor Trinidad Victorino
Last
year, the priest known as the oldest priest from Hagonoy was the Most
Rev. Pedro Natividad Bantigue, D.D., Bishop Emeritus of San Pablo
from Sta. Monica, Hagonoy, Bulacan. Yet the Lord gave him his
heavenly reward last November 20, 2012, thus moving the line of
living priests from our beloved town. Next in line to Bishop Bantigue
was another native of Sta. Monica in the person of Rev. Fr.
Nicanor Trinidad Victorino. At age 89, Fr. Victorino or “Fr.
Nick” as people would call him is now the oldest in the brotherhood
of Hagonoeño priests.
Fr.
Nick lived during the time that the Archdiocese of Manila had
spiritual jurisdiction from Bulacan to Cavite. That was why when
he was ordained on June 7, 2013 as a priest and was assigned in
Antipolo. Being a man on the move, he went from parish to parish
until he was assigned to Cavite where he remained to be a priest of
the Diocese of Imus that was erected in 1961.
A
servant of our Lord Jesus, the High Priest, Fr. Nick was truly
someone who has given his all for the Church. It makes me wonder of
how people could sometimes forget how priests have been part of their
lives, especially when he was the one who presided over the mass
where you go on Sunday or the one who baptized you, blessed your
marriage or presided over your kin's funeral. When priests become
old, sick and sometimes considered “useless” they are disregarded
as important. Yet the mind of the Church should always be for the
care of all, especially for those who have “given their all” for
her sake. Fr. Nick was one of those who have given all they had and
all that he is for service of God and His people.
Fr.
Nick has reached a moment in his life where he would have seemed
“forgotten” by those he served. In God's grace, he has felt the
love of the Lord especially during the celebration of his Diamond
Golden Jubilee for 60 years of frutiful service. The celebration,
done at the Parish of St. Michael the Archangel in Bacoor, Cavite
last June 7, 2013 was a sign of continuous love for this priest who
has given God's grace for years. His being a minister of the Church,
who acts in the person of Christ is and will always be a memory worth
remembering.
With
this, we have valued this man's 60 years of service. It is in this
light that Catholic Hagonoeño: Looking into the Catholic Heritage
of Hagonoy, Bulacan, Philippines has
made this special issue in his honor. A rememberance for Fr. Nick,
our beloved Hagonoeño shepherd! May he always be blessed by God as
he is his servant, pari magpakailanman!
