Formation Meetings and Bonding with the NFH Formators and Aspirants

Calbayog City – On March 8, 2025, the Casante gathered with the religious formators of Nazareth Formation House (NFH) for a deeply meaningful formation meeting. It was a time of heartfelt sharing and reflection, where the formators opened up about their experiences, and the Casante, in turn, spoke words of encouragement and wisdom. His presence was a source of inspiration, as he took the time to listen to each individual, offering pastoral support and guidance as part of his canonical visit.

On the evening of March 10, the NFH Aspirants hosted a special talk show, "Tonight with Fr. Max: An Encounter with the Casante." The atmosphere was vibrant, filled with energy and laughter, but it was the Casante’s powerful words that truly touched everyone’s heart. His message to Fr. Max was a reminder of the strength and beauty found in faith and community, leaving all who attended moved and inspired by his deep compassion.

The next day, the NFH community shared a beautiful day of bonding during an outing at a private resort in Malaga, Calbayog City. The day was more than just relaxation—it was an opportunity to connect, laugh, and create lasting memories together. The shared moments of joy and camaraderie deepened the bond among the formators, aspirants, and the Casante, reinforcing the sense of unity and purpose that defines their journey together.
