Asia-Pacific Augustinian Novitiate Welcome the four new Novices
Last June 16, 2025, four novices officially began their year-long novitiate formation at the Augustinian Novitiate and Prayer house in Mohon, Talisay City, Cebu. The investiture of the Augustinian habit was held during morning prayer (Lauds) at the oratory.
The ceremony, completely full with hope and anticipation, was presided over by Very Rev. Fr. Andrew P. Batayola, OSA, Provincial Prior of the Province of Sto. Niño de Cebu-Philippines. He was joined by Fr. Jules Van Villa Almerez, OSA and Fr. Albert Benedict B. Soliman, OSA, together with the ANPH community.

2. Nov. John Lester L. Alcoseba
The Province of Our Mother of Good Counsel, Australasia
1. Nov. Dang Huu Duy
2. Nov. Vu Dang Quoc Viet
Their formation is guided by Fr. Dipi Katthathara, OSA (Novice Master, Vicariate of Our Lady of Grace), assisted by Fr. Jasper V. Valmores, OSA of the Province of Sto. Niño de Cebu-Philippines.
