SISTER TOMASA RIVERA, O.P.
It is with great sorrow that we announce to you the passing of our dearly beloved Sister Tomasa Rivera, O.P.
Sister Tomasa served as the School Principal of the HTC-PFAC School for Children from June 1979 to December 1995. Her immense love for the Vietnamese refugees and dedicated service had remarkably inspired the locals and international volunteers in the camp, including the HTC-PFAC Teachers and Staff.
We are deeply saddened by her passing; on the other hand, we are joyful that she has now joined her creator in heaven and forever in peace. Sister Tomasa had lived a life so beautifully lived and deserves to be remembered as a person with a huge heart for the Vietnamese refugees.
A part of who we are today is because of the HTC-PFAC School for Children, Sister Tomasa, and the teachers and staff of the school, who served the camp from 1979-95.
BIG THANK YOU TO YOU, SISTER TOMASA on behalf of the Vietnamese refugees, especially the children, who once lived in PFAC Palawan, Philippines. May you rest in PEACE
