Today we celebrate the 80th Birthday of our Spiritual Director, Brother Ambrose Loke!
A fun fact on our Spiritual Advisor:
In 2002, after the demise of Brother Robert who was the previous Spiritual Advisor, Brother Ambrose took up the post alongside Brother Michael. It has been 22 years since he became Spiritual Advisor to the Legionaries.
When in his schooling days - 1956 till 1959, he studied in St. Francis Institution, was a boarder in the school, and was himself a Legionary.
During his time when he was a Legionary back in the late 1950's, the schools have many different Junior Praesidiums - each headed by the Brothers in the school at the time.
He was also the Spiritual Advisor to one of these Praesidiums when he was serving his term as a teacher in the school from 1970 till 1973, and again when he came back to be Brother Principal from 1989 till 2001.
At the demise of Brother Robert, who looked over one of the Legion Praesidium, Brother Ambrose took over the Praesidiums and merge all the Legion Praesidiums into one Junior Praesidium. Ever since then, there have been only one Legion Praesidium till this current day.
Under his time as well, Legion of Mary reached her golden age and was named as 'Best Society in the School' for 2005.
Today, we celebrate his journey and thank God for the positive impact he has made on us Legionaries.
