 On December 4th, Faiber Antonio Vargas, MSC and Favio Otoniel Castro, MSC graduated from Fundación Universitaria San Alfonso de los Redentoristas with a degree in Theology and Philosophy. Faiber and Favio are members of the MSC Community in Colombia, where they took their first vows as Religious in August 2008.1 They are the first MSC members to graduate from this 5- year, combined program. (Previously, MSC students completed separate programs in Philosophy and Theology.) The MSC Colombia Section and the MSC United States Province congratulate Favio and Faiber on their achievement and wish them continued success, especially as they begin new ministries in service of the Church in Colombia. May God bless continue to bless them and their work. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be loved everywhere!
1. New members of the MSC community take first vows, also known as temporary vows. Only after a period of three years of further discernment and study do members make a life-long commitment to the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart by taking perpetual vows, also known as final vows. For candidates to the priesthood, after taking perpetual vows, another couple years of preparation are usually required before their ordination to the priesthood.
