Casa Miani - Sto. Nino (Pampanga)










Casa Miani - Sto. Niño,
Sto.Nino,Lubao, Pampanga,Philippines

Casa Miani- Sto. Niño, home for boys gets its denomination from St. Jerome Emiliani, founder of the Somascan Fathers.
Casa Miani, as a branch of the Casa Miani Somascan Fathers Foundation Inc. started its operation in 1995 when two boys were entrusted to us by the Somascan Sisters. Immediately after, the Director, Fr. Luigi Brenna was pressed by Munting Tahanan in Balanga to accept four street teenagers, who were giving quite few problems.
This group constituted the first nucleus to which we direct our efforts. The boys were fostered in a building in the Somascan Seminary compound appropriately adapted for this purpose.
After three years of its establishment, the number of the Casa Miani boys increased.
Religious values are offered to the boys with the purpose of giving them a deeper meaning in their life.
Honestly, truth, sincerity, respect of others and their opinions, knowledge of social rules and roles, sense of responsibility, spirit of sacrifice and continuous tension towards improvement, are the basis for a constructive relationship and openness towards others.
We aim to bring the boys to a realistic knowledge of themselves and to foster a positive attitude in facing difficulties and conflicts without anxieties.
After the example of St. Jerome, we foster an integral formation of the person through an environment characterized by a family atmosphere, by a reciprocal Christian respect, and by a particular attention to the needs and qualities of each child.
We promote the physical health of needy children, developing their moral, human, Christian growth in order to prepare them to facet their life in peace with themselves and social world.
At present, the Fathers to whom the legacy of St. Jerome is entrusted are:

Fr. Domingo Batac Jr., crs, Director
Bro. Francisco Lamo crs
Bro. Roberto Valladolid, crs

St. Jerome Emiliani and Sta. Susana Parish, Ayala Alabang, Muntinlupa City, Philippines

A Parish Rises Out Of The Ruins... In 1981, Mrs. Josephine Madrigal Bayot offered the Somascan Fathers two homes inside the New Alabang Village (as Ayala Alabang Village was then known) for their temporary use. The Madrigals also had an old family chapel dedicated to Sta. Susana in their vast mango orchard. With the cooperation of Mr. Enrique Zobel and Mr. Adolfo Duarte, Ayala Corporation tore down the Madrigal chapel and built a new church, which became the seat of the St. Jerome and Sta. Susana Parish. On 4 February 1983, Jaime Cardinal Sin blessed the St. Jerome Emiliani and Sta. Susana Parish and installed Rev. Fr. Cesare De Santis, crs, as the first parish priest, who was assisted by Rev. Giovanni Tarditi and Rev. Valerio Fenoglio. Thus was established the first Somascan parochial church in Far East Asia. The parish, at that time, included the following areas: New Alabang Village,the areas west of the South Expressway, areas south of the Alabang Zapote Road, namely,

Casa Miani - St. Joseph On June 13, 1999, under the patronage of St. Anthony of Padua, St. Joseph and St. Jerome Emiliani, a new and small religious community of the Somascan Fathers opened its activity. The new establishment, named St. Joseph House, is located in San Jose Village, Alabang, in the territory of the Somascan Parish of St. Jerome Emiliani and St. Susana. Its purpose is to welcome late vocations to religious life and seminarians from the Somascan Minor Seminary in Lubao for their last stage before the novitiate, the postulancy. As good sons of St. Jerome Emiliani, we opened this house also to a small group of needy children who made cheerful and blessed our community since the first day of their presence. They can find a home and breathe a serene family atmosphere in which they are cared in all their needs so to grow as good Christian citizens. Religious assigned here are Fr. Joseph Mallari ,crs, superior and Director, Rev. Noli Lazaga, crs

Somascan Fathers Seminary - Lubao

Like Watered Garden Somascan Fathers Seminary - Lubao by Fr. John Valenzuela It was in Las Piñas where the first Somascan Seminary in the Philippines was located. Eight seminarians lived together in one wing of Las Piñas General Hospital owned by Dr. Faustino L. Uy. However, it was very necessary to spot for suitable land that would later be the future seminary. God is always providential. A certain Atty. Paz Capulong, who was helping the Fathers in transacting lands, introduced them to the heirs of the Dimson Family. The Family owned a broad land for sugarcane plantation. One of the wishes of their father was to donate a five hectare piece of land at Prado Saba, Lubao, Pampanga to a religious congregation for building a religious or charitable institution within five years. Mrs. Dayrit and Mrs. Madlambayan, the two daughters, were already very eager to give the land away. This land was formerly offered to the Benedictine Sisters Reparatrix of the Sacred
