2 brods priests in same parish

STA BARBARA, Pangasinan – The Holy Family Parish here has two brothers serving as parish priests Fr. Anthony and Fr. Fidelis Layog, who hail from Bayambang town in this province. They comprise the two-member team ministry here.

“It is true that two blood brothers, having the same priestly vocation, coming from the same family and therefore having the same values system, could work well together,” said Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Oscar Cruz, who assigned Fathers Anthony and Fidelis to the parish.

Cruz said the Layog brothers are complementary in their talents and abilities: one is administrative in disposition (Fr. Fidelis) while the other is artistic in inclination (Fr. Anthony).

The brother-priests said that being in the same vocation helped encourage two other pairs of brothers from two-different families to enter the Mary Help of Christians Minor Seminary in Binmaley town which incidentally is also their alma mater.
