Tagaytay City- On May 31, 2023, a momentous event took place at the Tagaste Retreat House as the sun rose on a new day. The air was filled with a sense of anticipation and reverence as family, friends, and fellow religious congregants gathered to witness the First Profession of Vows of two extraordinary individuals.

In a heartfelt ceremony that commenced at 10:00 AM, Sr. Cristy Sialola Pantilgone hailing from the picturesque Pinamungajan, Cebu, and Sr. Rolyn Topacio Cruz from the vibrant Paranaque City, took a significant step in their spiritual journeys. Surrounded by their loved ones and guided by faith, they made their First Profession of Vows.

Presiding over this sacred occasion was the venerable Fr. Bernard Amparado, OAE, whose wisdom and guidance have been instrumental in shaping the spiritual paths of these two dedicated individuals. Fr. Bernard Amparado is renowned for his commitment to the Order of Augustine and the spiritual growth of its members.

Sr. Cristy Sialola Pantilgone and Sr. Rolyn Topacio Cruz have each embarked on a remarkable journey of faith, love, and service. Their First Profession of Vows symbolizes their deep commitment to their religious calling, a path they have chosen to follow with unwavering dedication and wholehearted devotion.

Their decision to make this commitment on the same day adds a unique dimension to their shared spiritual journey. As they take their vows side by side, they also offer an inspiring example of unity in faith and dedication to a higher purpose.

The First Profession of Vows is a significant milestone in the lives of these remarkable women, and it marks the beginning of a new chapter filled with service, love, and unwavering faith.
