Fr Rudy Abao, MSC was all smiles as he celebrated the 50th Anniversary of his Religious Profession of Vows as a Missionary of the Sacred Heart (MSC) on 14 April 2009 at the Sta. Quiteria Parish in Caloocan City.

The day-long celebration began with a feeding program at 9:00 to 11:00 in the morning at the Parish church. A Mass was celebrated at 6:00 in the evening, with Fr Abao himself as the main presider. His MSC confreres as well priests and bishops from other congregations and dioceses concelebrated with Fr Abao. Fr Tito Maratas, the MSC Provincial Superior, delivered the homily.

After the homily, Fr Abao renewed his religious Vows of Obedience, Chastity and Poverty.

In his thanksgiving speech, Fr Abao thanked God for the grace of perseverance. He said that there is nothing permament in this life except change and the observance of the religious Vows.

After the Mass, the guests were treated to a sumptuous dinner at the Sta. Quiteria Elementary School Covered Court. Among the distinguished guests present was Hon. Teofisto Guingona, Jr., the 13th Vice President of the Republic of the Philippines.
