SAN FABIAN—The new building of the Mary Help of Christians Theology Seminary (MHCTS) in Barangay Palapad here, the third seminary of the Lingayen-Dagupan Archdiocese, will be blessed and its new chapel consecrated on February 11.

A holy mass will be celebrated on February16 at 3:00 p.m. to be attended by the religious women, seminary friends, benefactors and all who helped in the construction of the seminary.
“The celebration with all who helped and are supporting the construction of the seminary is an act of thanksgiving for this legacy that will transcend our lifetime,” Villegas said.
