‘We Had To Let Her Go’

Our cover photo features Estefanio Argall Luceño and his wife of 60 years, Teresita. It was taken in Dahilayan, Bukidnon, last year where the couple were visiting from their home in Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur. Estefanio died on Holy Saturday this year, 7 April, and buried a week later on Easter Saturday.

Mr and Mrs Luceño’s daughter Aurora, known to her friends as ‘Auring’ or ‘Au’, joined the Columban Lay Missionary Program (CLMP), now known as ‘Columban Lay Missionaries’ (CLM), in 1993. Currently based in the Philippines, Auring has spent many years in Pakistan.

In the January-February 2004 issue of Misyon we published an article by Mr Luceño about his daughter becoming a Columban Lay Missionary, We had to let her go. We republished it recently in Misyon Online Forum.
