THE University of San Jose-Recoletos Dramatics and Cultural Ensemble (USJ-R DCE) Amparito L. Lhuillier scholars spent its initial Lenten religious musicale, “St. Ezekiel: Healing Spirituality,” at the Sisters of Mary-Girlstown. Through the efforts of Sr. Emelan and Sr. Nory, the play was witnessed by some 2,500 students, faculty and guests. For us, it was more than learning something; it was a devotion to the first Recoleto saint, whose healing power I had experienced many times.
