Hi!
Christians and non-Christians happy
web-surfing and blogging!
I'm Rev. Fr. Oliver L. Janohan, previously
belong to the Diocese of Surigao but was transferred to the Diocese of Pagadian.
I have graduated my Seminary College
majoring English and Philosophy at St. Paul University System Surigao - San
Nicolas Campus, Surigao City Philippines under the auspices of Maradjao
Magbalantay College Seminary on 2005.
After which, I have decided to
proceed my education earning me a degree of Theology at Seminario Mayor de San
Carlos, Mabolo, Cebu City, Philippines on 2010.
With the divine providence, I was
ordained to the Holy Orders on December 13, 2012 at San Nicolas Cathedral by
Most Rev. Antonieto D. Cabajog, DD as ordaining prelate. At the same church I
served as Parochial Vicar, shortly after my assignment at Our Lady of the Pilar
Parish, Pilar, Siargao Islands, Surigao del Norte.
Comes June 2015 I was informed of my
new assignment, new Diocese, new environment and new challenges. The Diocese of
Pagadian is my new home now. I am happy as assistant pastor of Our Lady of
Fatima Parish, San Pablo, Zamboanga del Sur.
Blogging did not come abruptly in my
mind but just lately. It comes from an idea of honing my writing skills through
jotting down my experiences which I started early on my formation years in the
seminary. From simple and ordinary life experiences, I'm writing down
compositions: essays, reflections, reviews and case studies answering the
queries professors, friends, colleagues and parishioners are asking me. Their
questions and sharing most often fascinated me. Later on, I've realized there
are many people out there who have no opportunities to access the
recollections, seminars and conventions I'm giving but have the greater chance
to access the internet. I'm certainly sure they posit the same questions my
audiences are asking. They also deserve an answer.
I have no other way of reaching out
the majority of Christians who need serious catechism or non-Christians who are
curious about Christianity, Catholicism in particular than by blogging. Through
posting my meager yet careful research and simple thoughts of reflection I can
share my experiences of God. Hoping this would enlighten them the same as I was
heartened through thick and thin in life.
May this simple effort contribute to
the well-being of my brethren and building up the Kingdom of God here on earth!
Ad majorem, Dei gloriam!
