We Went Up a Mountain! (part 2)(see full story at www.svdphc.org)

Mass some feet away
Fr. Provincial presiding
On your mark, get set...
missionaries at work
A (celestial) confrere for every tree
Long live JPIC!
feeling international
The CKMS Horde with Fathers Ben and Rod
Till next centennial

next time!
This was a dream come true for Fr. Ben Beltran, SVD. It started with a simple dream of honoring the deceased members of the Society of the Divine Word who had lived and served in the Philippines for the past one hundred years. Tree-planting is immortalizing them - thus, every tree planted has a name tag, bearing the name of a confrere. As they grow on the mountains of Montalban, these trees will save water and hopefully, "refill" the water tables below for the next generations of people. The dream is water for everybody in the future - water from the mountains on which our SVD confreres continue to stand - such love, such immortal love! What an honor to be part of this dream - cheers to the next hundred years! May God bless us all!
