PSDP Mary Mother of the Poor Delegation Welcomes First-Year Postulants with Joy-Filled Integration Week

Taytay-Rizal: The first-year postulants of the PSDP Mary Mother of the Poor Delegation embarked on a spiritually enriching and joy-filled Integration Week last July 14-18, 2025 that culminated in their Entrance to Postulancy on July 18.

Days of Prayer, Formation, and Community Bonding

Throughout the week, the postulants immersed themselves in a rhythm of prayers and reflections, starting each day with Adoration, Meditation, and the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. Mornings were spent in quiet work and spiritual activities, fostering both inner growth and discipline.

Afternoons brought a vibrant mix of formation sessions, colloquiums, team-building activities, and sports, allowing the postulants to bond, learn, and strengthen their commitment. Evenings offered joyful recreation, film viewing, and devotion through praying of the Holy Rosary.

 Entrance to Postulancy Celebration

On July 18, the Entrance to Postulancy was presided over by Rev. Fr. John Mark Reganon, PSDP Postulant Master, and concelebrated by Rev. Fr. Marvin Tadena, Delegate Superior. The celebration was graced by the presence of the PSDP sisters and Brother Joric, making the event deeply communal and meaningful.

In a moment, each postulant received a cross and a rosary — powerful symbols of their love for the Blessed Virgin Mary and their dedication to their new journey of formation. With hearts full of joy and hope, the postulants stepped into this stage of formation, embracing the path ahead with faith and fervor.
