Seminarian Anthony O. Aguason, 27, Grand Knight of College Council No. l3997 based at Sancta Maria Mater et Regina Seminarium (SMMRS) in Brgy. Cagay, Roxas City, was ordained deacon in a solemn and simple rites held at the SMMRS Chapel, June 29.
He was ordained by Most Rev. Onesimo C. Gordoncillo, D.D., archbishop of Capiz, who is also a Fourth Degree Knight.
The new ordained deacon is the son of spouses Felipe Aguason and Adelaida Onayan-Aguason of Brgy. Dumolog, Roxas City.
Soon after graduating from Dumolog elementary school and Dumolog high school in 2000 he entered the St. Pius X Seminary in Brgy. Lawa-an, Roxas City. In 200l he transferred to SMMRS where he finished Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, cum laude and Moral Excellence Awardee in 2005.
The grand knight, thinking of God’s will and call, proceeded further to take up Theology at the same seminary where he graduated last March 20l0. He undertook a spiritual pastoral formation break from academic routine in 2008-2009 as requisite for graduation and ordination. Now, he is addressed not only as Worthy Grand Knight but as Rev. Anthony O Aguason.
The College Council No. l3997 was organized on November 7, 2002 with 32 members. It later remained inactive and suspended because most of its members who were all seminarians have graduated from the seminary. The KC District Deputy in coordination with the seminary authorities are helping reactivate the said council.
With more than l.8 million members, the Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest Catholic lay organization. It provides members and their families with volunteer opportunities in service to the Catholic Church, the community, families and young people. In 2009 the Knights of Columbus at all levels of the organization raised and distributed millions of dollars to charity and rendered millions of hours of volunteer services. /MP
