Bishop Mylo turns 46; launches book
San Jose City, Nueva Ecija - Our beloved bishop Most Rev. Mylo Hubert C. Vergara DD, celebrated his 46th birthday last October 23, 2008. Attended by relatives, friends, clergy and lay leaders, the Knights of Columbus Hall in Malasin San Jose City became alive with merriment. The Thanksgiving Mass which the good bishop presided and concelebrated by the clergy started at 6:00 PM followed by a sumptuous dinner.
One of the highlights of his birthday was the launching of his book, A SHEPHERD’S STAFF- the second in his three-part reflections on the Sunday Gospel series. This highly anticipated book contains reflections and homily guides for the cycle B Sunday Gospels. Foreworded by His Eminence Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales and reviewed by Bishop Oscar A. Solis of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, the book proved once more to be an inspiring tool that would make the reader experience and encounter our Lord.
