We all say prayers of thanksgiving for Fr Ismael Zuloaga (CHN), who will celebrate his 50-year priesthood on July 30. He was ordained on March 18, 1957. We fondly remember him as JCEAO president from 1992-2004. Currently, he is in charge of Alumni Relations, Xavier School, Manila. He continues to manifest his great love for China by helping quite a number of Chinese studying in the Philippines.
