Almighty and ever loving Father,

we thank you for the gift of the

Pontificio Collegio Filippino.

As we celebrate  its fifty years of existence

we pray that it may continue to form

priests whose hearts are patterned

after your Son, Jesus, the Eternal High Priest,

who will serve his flock unselfishly

and remain loyal to his Church

founded on St. Peter.

We thank and pray also for all those

who support the Collegio through the years.

May their generosity be rewarded abundantly.

We ask this through the same Christ our Lord

who lives and reigns with you

and the Holy Spirit

one God forever and ever. Amen.
