Thank you, Fr. George!
Fr. George P. Militante, SDB
1952-2021
Fr. George Pace Militante lived 50 years of his life as a son of St. John Bosco. Born in December 27, 1952, he could have turned 69 this year. But on July 1, 2021, at 3:00 in the afternoon, on the hour that Jesus showed his great mercy, Fr. George expired and passed on from this life.
He had been battling cancer. Now he can rest in the Lord’s peace. Serving for half a century as a Salesian of Don Bosco, Fr. George earns a place in the Salesian garden in heaven.
Fr. George’s remains will be available to the public at the chapel of Jesus the Adolescent at Don Bosco Technical College, Pleasant Homes Subdivision, Punta Princesa, Cebu City. See here.
In lieu of flowers, Fr. George asked that people help him support financially Salesian Vocations. You may send your donations here.

On getting the news, we, Salesians of Don Bosco in Taipei (Taiwan), were saddened by the death of dear Fr. George Militante, we prayed and offered Holy Mass for his eternal rest. Fr. George was FIS Provincial when some of our young confreres were making their Novitiate in Lawaan. They remember him as a kind father who used to post his warm greetings and best wishes on FB on the occasion of their birthday. May he rest in peace!
