On February 27, 2014, 2:30 p.m., Most Reverend Paciano B. Aniceto, D.D., Archbishop of San Fernando, Pampanga ordained Rev. Fr. Romer O. Tubu as a new priest at Sto. Tomas Parish Church, Sto. Tomas, Pampanga. The Mass of Ordination was witnessed by the joyous faithfuls of Sto. Tomas, Pampanga who waited for 47 years for their parish to produce another priest. Fr. Romer's family, co-priests, friends, former teachers and classmates, and well-wishers from all over Pampanga also came to witness the event.
Emotions flow when the parents of Fr. Romer assisted him as he changed his garment from that of a deacon to a full-pledged priest. In his speech, he inspired the crowd by a narration of his journey as a young boy who was always assigned as the keeper of keys since his elementary years. Now, he is a shepherd of souls. Before his ordination, Fr, Tubu served as the secretary to the Archbishop of San Fernando, Pampanga, Most Reverend Paciano B. Aniceto, D.D.. He will celebrate his first thanksgiving mass on March 1, 2014, 7:00 am at his home parish, Sto. Tomas Parish Church, Sto. Tomas, Pampanga.
Well-wishers from Mabalacat City College (MCC) attended the Mass of Ordination. They are Raymund John D. Vergara, Franz Lawrence C. Senapilo, Eduard D. Ramos, Robert John I. Donesa, Romeo Ligutan, Jr. and Irene Christy M. Bacolod. Fr. Tubu, at one time, attended an MCC College Days mass with the Archbishop.
