On 29 June 2014, the Solemnity of the Apostles Peter and Paul, we celebrated Sr Maria Corazon C Villanueva’s precious gift of 25 years of dedicated service as a Religious of the Daughters of Divine Zeal. A Vintareña in the Philippines and a precious jewel of the town, she returned to renew her religious vows of chastity, poverty and obedience and the zeal for the Rogate, in her hometown of Vintar.

It was the spirit of generosity, trust, fidelity and great love that moved Sr Corazon to say ‘YES’ again and again to the call and to be like Mary in her response to the mission of the Harvest Master, Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Dear Sr Corazon we pray for your holy perseverance.
Send, O Lord, Holy Apostles into Your Church! ROGATE!!!
