Br. Dave and Ms. Ilsa Reyes

On September 13, 2013, during the 34th Manila International Book Fair at SMX, SM Mall of Asia, Br. Jess Matias, OFS, editor of More Precious Than Gold, launched his new book "Heralds of the Great King" (The Lives of the Capuchin Franciscan Saints) under St. Paul's Publications. Together with him, Ms. Ilsa Reyes, a good-friend of MPTG, also launched her new book entitled "Healing through our Eucharistic Lord," under the same publishing company. Br. Dave grabbed the chance to be present during this important event in the life of his two inspirations. 

These two new books and MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD are available in all St. Paul's outlet nationwide.
