April 1 was a day of great joy for us, the Trinitarian Sisters, as we celebrated the 101-death anniversary of our Founder, Venerable Fr. Francis Mendez. On this special occasion, we remembered and honoured the holiness of his life and his inspiring example of faith.

We venerate in a special way his deep love for God and his burning zeal for the needy youth, which moved him to dedicate his life to their upliftment. His vision and commitment led to the enrichment of the Church through the founding of a new religious family that continues his mission even today.

This celebration was not only a remembrance of the past but also a call for us to renew our commitment to his ideals. It encouraged us to follow his path of service, compassion, and selfless love. As we reflect on his life, we are inspired to carry forward his mission with greater dedication, becoming instruments of hope and care for those in need.
