PACERS 31st Annual Convention announced in Manila Bulletin

Yes, I got word that yesterday, Feb. 11, 2007, my confrere Fr. Bel San Luis, SVD mentioned our PACERS Annual Convention in his column Word Alive. Click on the link and you will be brought to the column he wrote in Manila Bulletin where he regularly writes. I was told that this is now the second publication of our Convention for the year 2007. Last year he also did that for our Midyear in Bohol.

Interestingly, the announcement was mentioned in his column where Fr. Bel wrote about Our Lady of Lourdes. He mentioned there a story about a man who just arrived from Lourdes, and at the airport immigration area, he was asked what was inside one of his boxes. "Bottles of water from Lourdes," he said. But when the inspector opened it, he exclaimed to the man "But these are bottles of wine." The man then exclaimed back: "Wow, this one is again one of the miracles of Lourdes: water changed into wine." For all you know, your attendance at our Convention may yet make you experience one of the miracles we all want to experience: healing in our relationships, knowing about its intricacies, and approaches how to handle these matters in our clients, and yes, even in our lives. Who knows? Maybe the announcement was timed with the celebrations we're into these days - Our Lady of Lourdes - if only to tell us that indeed, God is part and parcel of any development/improvement in our relationships. May she always intercede for us in our Counseling practice.
