San Antonio, Philippines. From March 18 to 20, 2025, Fr. Arvin Bellen, CMF, the Prefect of Apostolate of the Rhoel Gallardo Province of the Claretian Missionaries, made a heartfelt fraternal visit to the Ako Ang Saklay Foundation Incorporated in San Antonio, Nueva Ecija. His purpose was to establish a good relationship with the program’s members, even in the absence of Ako Ang Saklay’s director, Fr. Arnold Abelardo, CMF, who attended an important meeting with the National Anti-Poverty Commission in Palawan.
During his visit, Fr. Arvin spent quality time with the Ako Ang Saklay Team, leading a Lenten reflection and engaging in meaningful conversations with the Persons in Recovery (PIR).
He also offered pastoral care by facilitating a short recollection for the RMICM Sisters in Cabiao, Nueva Ecija.
This visit was a beautiful expression of brotherhood, strengthening the bonds of mission and reminding everyone of their deep communion in serving the province with faith, compassion, and solidarity.
