Jose Pascual was one of the MSC Filippino students who came to Croydon in the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s for their theological studies.  Many of us remember them well – and how they opened up to us cultures beyond Australia and the life of MSCs in Asia.

 


From the Filippino site:

Compassionate Educator, Patient BCC Builder, Participant at EDSA Revolution

Jake or Pasky or Fr. Pascual was born Jose Isagani Salamanca Pascual on January 27, 1937 to Gil Pascual and Inocencia Salamanca in San Jose City, Nueva Ecija. He returned to our Creator on April 7, 2021, Wednesday, 12:35 a.m. at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Sta. Mesa, Manila.
