The Lay Carmelites of the Province of St. Joseph - District of Bulacan conducted its yearly advent recollection on December 05, memorial of Bl. Bartholomew Fanti, at the Carmelite Monastery of the Holy Family, Guiguinto, Bulacan. The theme of the recollection was "St. Therese of Lisieux: Spiritual Principles for Parents based on the Story of a Soul". The recollection master was Rev. Fr.

After the mass, a small Christmas party was celebrated with the nuns. Unfortunately, there was no presentation because of brown-out.
