Activities of the Vice Postulation on the Feast of Blessed Ivan
May 27, 2009
As the whole world celebrated the sunday dedicated to Mothers, the Catholic World, especially in Croatia celebrated likewise the feast of one of their greatest heroes and holy man, Blessed Ivan Merz.
Here in the Philippines, the CCS Family observed these two celebrations with great reverence and joy. For this year, the theme of the celebration was "BLESSED IVAN AND MOTHERS", behind the fact that Though Blessed Ivan is a male, we can still feel the Motherly love which he received from his mother and now is given to us (Letter of the Director for the celebration of the Feast of Blessed Ivan, May 10, 2009). Everywhere a member was, he observed this day with a spirit overflowing with thanksgiving and gratitude for the graces he received through the great Blessed.
In Quezon City, the house of the Confraternity, the scholars, led by their President, Scholar Jake Barcelongo, together with Fra. Joseph Pio, ccs had a Mass said in his honor at the Transfiguration of Our Lord Parish. This was also the celebration of the 2nd Anniversary of Blessed Ivan Merz Scholarship Fund.

Message of the Director for the Feast of Blessed Ivan Merz (2009)
May 10, 2009
"BLESSED IVAN AND MOTHERS"
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Happy feast of Blessed Ivan Merz!
I greet all the Fraters, Scholars, and Cooperators of the Confraternity of Catholic Saints, and all the devotees of Blessed Ivan here and abroad! We also extend our joy to the people of Romania where Fr. Bozidar Nagy, SJ, the Postulator of Blessed Ivan, will celebrate the feast of Blessed Ivan.
It is very fitting that the feast of our beloved Ivan is also the day dedicated to our Mothers. Blessed Ivan, human as he is, grew in faith and love because of the faith and love the he learned from his mother.
Though Blessed Ivan is a male, we can still feel the Motherly love which he received from his mother and now is given to us. His love is shown in many ways, like here in the Philippines, Blessed Ivan helps us in his prayers by sending to us two more scholars, who will be sent to school. From five we will now have seven scholars, thanks be to God! We also thank God through Blessed Ivan for leading to us generous people to support the Scholarship Program. Truly, God works in people!
For...
