the father prior and a bikemate, rafaelito, celebrated his birthday at the san beda abbey. batchmates from high school celebrated with him.
our batch churned out three priests. in the photos are basil (also benedictine) and kit (a salesian). they compensate for the sins of the batch, we all claim. my wife joy joined the celebration and was allowed into the hallowed all-male (some question this) grounds. the abbot, tarci, also came just in time for the main course of amici pizza! fr. abbot was our principal at the time of our graduation. easy to miss because he did not age as fast as we did.
by the way, the jacuzzi is part of the new infirmary of the abbey. joy stands in the dark of the unfinished jacuzzi room.
