125th FOUNDATION DAY / FINAL PROFESSION
On December 8, 2013, on the occasion of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, our congregation: Sisters of the Divine Savior also known as Salvatorian Sisters celebrated its 125th year of foundation. Equally worth celebrating was the Final Profession of vows of Sr. Lida Asuncion, SDS. We thank the Lord for these blessings He gifted our Philippine Region. The solemn mass was presided over by Fr. Hubert Kranz, SDS and was concelebrated by about 11 priests from SDS and other congregations. Many of our friends and benefactors also came to join the celebration. Likewise, Sr. Ruth Baguinon, SDS and Sr. Agnes Etong, SDS did their renewal of vows for a year. The rest of us did the common renewal which we do annually on December 8. The Divine Savior bless us all!
