The University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao (USLT) celebrated the 16th Sacerdotal Anniversary of Rev. Fr. Macwayne N. Maniwang, CICM, Ph.D., through a Eucharistic celebration held today, April 17, 2026, at the Good Shepherd Chapel.
The mass, presided over by Fr. Maniwang with Rev. Fr. John Mark D. Barroga, CICM, MATh-PM, served as a solemn expression of thanksgiving for sixteen years of priestly ministry. The celebration centered on the grace of vocation and the enduring call to serve God’s people with fidelity.
In his homily, Fr. Maniwang reflected on Psalm 139:14, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” He spoke of God’s intimate knowledge of every person and the divine care present from the very beginning of life. He shared that this truth has shaped his understanding of his vocation and continues to guide him in his priestly journey. The passage remains a source of strength as he carries out his mission, trusting in God and renewing his commitment to serve.
His friends, members of the Board of Trustees, retirees, students, teaching personnel, and non-teaching personnel attended the Eucharistic celebration. Their presence conveyed prayerful support and gratitude for his years in the priesthood.
The celebration of Fr. Maniwang’s sacerdotal anniversary affirmed the enduring value of priestly service. His sixteen years in the ministry continue to inspire faith, deepen spiritual commitment, and strengthen the sense of mission among the faithful.
Happy 16th Sacerdotal Anniversary, Fr. Maniwang! May God continue to bless your priestly ministry with grace, strength, and wisdom as you faithfully serve His people. May your life remain a source of inspiration, and may your mission be ever guided by His enduring love.
