On 30 April 2023, the Society of St Paul (Philippine-Macau Province) welcomed another confrere to a life of ministry. Through the laying of the hands of Most Rev. Nolly C. Buco, DD, auxilliary Bishop of the Diocese of Antipolo, Cleric Buen Andrew Francis Xavier Cruz, SSP was ordained to the Sacred Order of Deacons. The bishop was assisted by Fr. Jean Rollin Marie Flores SSP, Provincial Superior and Fr. Khris Emmanuel Llacer, SSP Local Superior of Makati. Frs. Reynaldo Reyes and Ruben Areño SSP served as witnesses.

This joyous event was held at the Sanctuary of St Paul in Makati and was well attended by SSP priests, brothers, and aspirants, as well as representatives from the Pauline Family and the family, relatives, and friends of Rev. Buen.

The message of the Superior General, Don Domenico Soliman, and the homily of the Ordaining Prelate echo the same challenge that reminds Rev. Buen to cultivate and transform his mind, will, and heart to be similar to that of the Good Shepherd that listens to the flock and is always at the service of the Gospel.

May Rev. Buen continue to serve and love as he leads more faithful closer to Jesus Good Shepherd our Way, Truth, and Life.
