Among the offices visited were the Chancery, Finance office, Museo de Archive, Imprenta, Timek ti Amianan, Biblical apostolate, and Caritas. In each visit, the seminarians observed how lay collaborators and clergy coordinate programs that reach parishes within the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of Nueva Segovia.

VIGAN CITY—Five seminarians from the Discernment and Integration Year (DIY) program of the Immaculate Conception School of Theology have recently completed their pastoral exposure in the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia, bringing to a close a meaningful chapter in their formation.

The experience was simple, yet deeply formative. During their stay, they were assigned to different diocesan commissions and offices in the curia, where they encountered the daily realities of Church work. More than learning structures and processes, they experienced what it truly means to serve—meeting people, listening to their stories, and witnessing both the struggles and joys of ministry.

Their journey concluded with a meeting with the Archbishop, who shared his vision and mission for the Archdiocese. More than a formal talk, it became a moment of encouragement, reminding them of the kind of shepherds they are called to become.

The seminarians of the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia warmly congratulated Archbishop William David V. Antonio, SThD, D.D., following his appointment as the new shepherd of the Archdiocese.

As Archbishop William David V. Antonio begins his ministry as Archbishop of Nueva Segovia, the seminarians stand with him in prayer and support. With gratitude for this encounter and hope for the years ahead, they entrust his episcopal ministry—and their own vocational journey—to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, confident that the Lord who calls will also sustain.
