Fr. Rene Mercader, MSCFr. Ricky Bermudez, MSCThe MSC USA Province is delighted to welcome Fr. Rene Mercader, MSC and Fr. Ricky Bermudez, MSC, who recently arrived from the Philippines. Frs. Ricky and Rene are in the United States for the summer to participate in the Missionary Cooperation Plan. Both priests will be traveling to parishes around the country to say Masses, either as a guest preacher or to fill in and allow the parish priest to take a short vacation. At the Masses, Frs. Ricky and Rene will talk about the missionary work of the MSC in the Philippines, and the proceeds from the second collection will help the Philippine Province of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart support their missions and continue their service to the Church and to the poor.

We look forward to learning more about the Church and the works of the MSC in the Philippines as Frs. Ricky and Rene share their experiences with us. Welcome!

Fr. Ricky is a talented musician, founder of the Jules Chevalier Symphony Orchestra and Santo Niño Mactan Parish Music Ministry. Check out his latest videos on his website: http://www.youtube.com/berickz!
