RAY de Manila

Happy Birthday, Elaine Sojor Azores!

On this special day, may God fill your heart with peace, your life with purpose, and your days with abundant joy. May every step you take be guided by His love, and may all the dreams He placed in your heart begin to unfold in beautiful ways. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
—Jeremiah 29:11✨

May the Lord bless you with strength when you feel weak, courage when you feel uncertain, and faith that moves mountains. Always remember that you are wonderfully made and deeply loved by God.

Cheers to another year of growth, grace, and countless blessings. “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIS EJ!🥳

The RAY de Manila community gathered together with our new aspirants this May 23, 2026 for meaningful formation, followed by the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. A day full of stories, laughter, learnings, faith, and unity as we continue to grow together in service and spirituality.✨🤍

Happy Birthday, Father Virgil!

On this special day, we, your Recollect Augustinian Youth De Manila Family, offer our heartfelt thanksgiving to God for the gift of your life. Your guidance, wisdom, and quiet spiritual strength have been a steady light for us, leading us closer to Jesus Christ and inspiring us to live the Gospel with joy, compassion, and humility just like St. Augustine taught.

Thank you for being a faithful shepherd to our community, patient in teaching, generous in service, correcting us gently, and reminding us always of God's unwavering love.

As you celebrate another year of life, we pray that God may bless you abundantly with good health, strength of mind and body, renewed joy in your vocation, and grace that overflows in everything you do. May Mama Mary and St. Augustine watch over you always, and may St. Ezekiel Moreno intercede for your health and protection.

Happy, happy birthday, Father!

RAY de Manila joined the Recollect Augustinian Youth National Summit last January 29 - February 1, 2026, held at USJ-R Basak Campus, Cebu City with the theme: 15thRAYNS: “PROCLAIM CHRIST WHEREVER YOU CAN.”✨

The delegates joined for a transformative Youth Summit—growing in leadership, deepening friendships, and strengthening our relationship with God. This memorable experience helped us the youth understand important aspects of our own lives and our roles with our groups and communities. Also revisited their personal life plans and collaborated actively in revitalizing JARs, fostering a vibrant community spirit.🤩

To our generous sponsors who helped the RAY de Manila send delegates at Recollect Augustinian Youth National Summit, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude for allowing our youth to be able to participate, learn, and grow in spirit through the event. Because of you, they were given the opportunity to be inspired and to reflect on their purpose. We truly appreciate your generosity, and we pray that your goodness will be returned to you a hundredfold. Thank you for being instruments of hope and for believing in the potential of our youth.💖
