Cover Letter : Nominations Now Open - 2013 San Lorenzo Ruiz de Manila Award

9 September 2013

Subject:  Nominations Now Open - 2013 San Lorenzo Ruiz de Manila Award

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Nominations are now open for the 2013 San Lorenzo Ruiz de Manila Award! We encourage you to nominate outstanding Filipinos in Thailand who have made a significant difference in the lives of others.  Some nominees are well known, but most are just ordinary people making a difference. The best nominees are often the people who wouldn’t dream of putting themselves forward, which is why we need you to do it for them!

The San Lorenzo Ruiz de Manila Award was established in 2009 as a project of the Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB) and the Associations of Filipinos in Thailand, in cooperation with the Philippine Embassy.  Today, the Pastoral Council of the Filipino Community of the Mary Help of Christians (MHoC) Parish in Bangkok is taking the lead in searching for the next awardee. Previous awardees included two individuals and two couples (see http://misangtagalogsabangkok.blogspot.com for more information).

Submit nominations using the attached nomination form – for on-line nomination click here (PDF) or contact Fr. Aaron Alcoseba SDB, Pastor of MHoC, Tel. 0818136077 or E-mail aaronsdb31@gmail.com with copy to SLRdMsaBKK@gmailgroups.com. Also attached are the Awards background and criteria. You may nominate as an individual or group. Nominations will be accepted until 29 September 2013 and will be presented to the selection committee who will select the recipient.  The awarding ceremony will be held during the 5:30 pm Holy Mass at MHoC on 1 December 2013.

Yours in Christ,

Fr. Aaron Alcoseba SDB

Pastor
