The formation was given by Sr. Mary Jude Alcance, FMA’s Delegate to ADMA. Sr. Jude reminded everyone to revisit the ADMA regulations especially Article 4, on the Personal Commitment of Members. In the Holy Mass dedicated for the deceased and sick members, we prayed in a special way for the eternal peace of the soul of +Rheena May Lim (1971–2023). She was the national president from 2017 until our Heavenly Father called her home on 3 April 2023. Fr. Cris Magbitang, SDB, ADMA FIN Delegate and Spiritual Animator, presided the Holy Mass.
