Eight aspirants of the Saint Paul Seminary Foundation took part in a Pre-Postulancy Retreat on April 5–8, 2026 at the Maryridge Spirituality Center in Tagaytay City, reflecting on the theme “Accompanying Saint Paul on the Road to Damascus.” The retreat was guided by Ma’am Daisy Anilag Santos, IMSA.

Inspired by the conversion of Saint Paul, the retreat provided the aspirants with a sacred space for silence, prayer, meditation, and personal accompaniment. Through confession and individual consultations, they were led to a deeper encounter with God as they prepare for the next stage of their formation in Postulancy in Pampanga.
The retreat culminated in the celebration of the Holy Mass presided over by Rev. Fr. Norman Melchor Peña, SSP, Rector and Dean, together with Rev. Fr. Leopoldo Botavara III, SSP, Local Superior, and Rev. Fr. Ronel Anthony Soriano, SSP, Local Bursar.
