"Aurelius Capariño Mendoza belongs to the Diocese of Masbate in the Philippines. He has two brothers, one older and one younger and both are married.
In 2014, he entered St. Anthony High School Seminary and a year later entered Sedes Sapientiae Formation House Seminary. He finished his formation in philosophy in 2017 at the seminary in Naga City, on another island 200km. from his home in Masbate.
That same year, 2017, my bishop decided to send me to Pamplona to finish my formation in Theology.
"In three years here in Spain I have learned many things, especially the spirituality of St. Josemaría Escrivá, which helps me a lot in my priestly formation."".
