The Foundation
Bishop Ataviado with meager funds started laying the foundation of a formation house of his future collaborators, the priests, in 1970. He at first housed the young seminarians at his own newly constructed Bishop's residence where they were trained in all aspects of life necessary to become effective and faithful servants of the Lord in the future. While Latin was taught inside the seminary, other subjects were and until now are being taught in the diocesan school, St. Joseph College.

Famous quotes containing the word foundation:
“In a country where misery and want were the foundation of the social structure, famine was periodic, death from starvation common, disease pervasive, thievery normal, and graft and corruption taken for granted, the elimination of these conditions in Communist China is so striking that negative aspects of the new rule fade in relative importance.”
—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
“I believe that the mind can be permanently profaned by the habit of attending to trivial things, so that all our thoughts shall be tinged with triviality. Our very intellect shall be macadamized, as it were,—its foundation broken into fragments for the wheels of travel to roll over.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
