Just a few minutes ago, I was with Fr. Jim along with his friends in his Farewell Party. That would be the last time I'd see him. He's leaving for Davao tomorrow.
Fr. Jim McAuley is a Maryknoll priest, who came from the US. I have come to know him through our choir. (I am a member of two - Interlude and ZSibugay NHS). The first time I heard him speak, I was amazed by the profound Visayan words he used. I was even glad that I came to know him as a friendly person. He is someone you can confidently talk with and he communicates in a very light, lively and happy conversation. My students would always look forward to seeing him every time we sponsor for Wednesday masses. He is so loved by the kids for his kindness and friendliness.

He always emphasizes the greatness of God's love for everyone. It is so sad to know that he has to leave. His superiors are looking after his safety, after what happened to a Columban priest in Pagadian City. We just couldn't hold him.
He will be surely missed.
I am forever grateful that I have become his friend.
