Hi Fr. Reyes!
I want to thank you for being able to teach us in our last year in high school. I was able to carry all the teaching you’ve taught us up until today helping me stay grounded. All your stories in class helped me understand my faith and allowed me to grow deeper in it. I will always be grateful that I became one of your student.
Wishing you all the best!

Hi Father Reyes 👋
I hope you're doing well and that you're excited for the beginning of a new adventure in UA&P! I'm not sure if you remember but I was one your students who fell asleep in class and got sent out 😅 Although terrifying at the time, it honestly prepared me for college's much tougher obstacles and is also a great story to tell and laugh at! I will always look up to you and admire how learned you are in the faith! I recall there was this one time in college where I was faced with a professor who was lacking in understanding of the faith and his teachings. At that time, the only person who I could think of who could properly refute his incorrect teachings was you! Thank you for always being open to my questions and for being a teacher to me even outside of Woodrose! I will always remember the lessons you taught us and be forever grateful that you took the time and heart to teach us! Thank you again Father!! Woodrose will sorely miss you ❤️

Hi Father Reyes!

It has been almost five years since I was your student, yet I haven’t forgotten the impact you’ve made in our lives. Thank you for challenging our minds and hearts by going into depth in all our theology lessons. You definitely prepared our batch well for our 12 units of Theology in Ateneo. Thank you for making the classroom environment welcoming and open to any questions and concerns. You will be very much missed in Woodrose, but I hope you know how grateful we are to have had you as our teacher in our senior year. Hope you are staying safe and healthy during this pandemic, and best wishes on your next journey as a chaplain and educator.

Best regards,

Kevyn 😊

Hello Fr. Reyes!

Our batch is very fortunate to be taught by you. Thank you for all the lessons and kwento in and out of class. I will forever cherish these memories and continue to grow closer to God and through Mother Mary like you taught us. Thank you also for believing in my talent and passion for photography. I am so happy I was able to contribute to the prayer card of Our Lady of the Rose.

I hope you are well and I am always happy to hear about you from my little sister, Bea and my dad too.
May you continue to inspire more people whenever you go. Woodrose will miss you. 🙏🏼♥︎

Hi Fr . Reyes, I hope you're doing well!
Thank you for being the best chaplain and teacher in Woodrose. I truly miss the letters that you share to the parents, teachers and students. They were my nuggets of advice or learnings from you.  To me, those letters left a great impact because I saw how much love and care you pour into them. I hope the people you meet in your new home will also see your kindness and wisdom.

❤🎂🥺

Hi Fr. Reyes!! I am definitely glad that I was a part of one of the batches you taught during your stay in Woodrose. Your role as an educator and chaplain in my life as a student was very memorable, and I learned a lot from you.

Until today, one of my most vivid memories as your student was when I fell asleep in the middle of class, and had to stand at the back for a certain amount of time. I initially felt bad (but at the same time knew I deserved it) when that happened, but outside of class, you asked me to go to your office, where you apologised and gave me chocolate. Since I fell asleep in class, I didn't think it was necessary at the time. But since you were also our school chaplain, I eventually understood the kind of balance you needed to have in that role while being an educator. Thank you for that, I appreciated it a lot. I wasn't the most faithful nor disciplined student back in Woodrose, but I found myself growing out of that during my time in Ateneo. I found myself turning to mentors in Daniw, as well as desiring to turn towards the Lord more. I have my educators in Woodrose, you being a part of it, to thank for that.

Thank you for your service in Woodrose, and I pray that the next school you serve in  will be a fruitful time for you as a priest and as an educator!

Hi Fr. Reyes!
It has been a while since my batchmates and I were your students. I just wanted to thank you for all that you have taught us during our high school days. Your lessons really guided me throughout college. Your future students are sure blessed and fortunate to have you as a teacher. I know I was. Once again, thank you so much for all that you have done for my batchmates and I. God bless you always.

Hi Fr. Reyes!

Hi Father Reyes! Thank you so much for everything you've done for the Woodrose community over the years. I learned so much from you from our Moral Theology classes, from your homilies, and even just from the faith and passion for teaching I saw in you day to day. You played a big role in my understanding and practice of the faith and I am sure the same is true for many other. Woodrose will not be the same without you, but I am sure you'll continue to touch lives wherever you go.

Hi Fr. Reyes!

Thank you so much for contributing to my spiritual formation in Woodrose. I wholeheartedly believe that it's your teachings from Moral Theology class that have guided the course of my actions ever since I graduated. Thank you for always striving to expand our worlds a little more by daring to open our minds to consider all the things we had previously understood were "taboo" in the effort to give us a true and holistic education. I'll never forget the lessons and classes amidst the joking and occasional awkwardness, because it was these things that made me trust in myself to live my life as honorable to my learnings as possible. Thank you also for being very open with me when I occasionally went for spiritual direction. You've saved my soul and I can't express how grateful I am enough. You will definitely be missed in Woodrose, but I do hope our paths can cross once again someday in the future. We love you, Father Reyes, and God bless you on the new path ahead!

Sincerely,
Isabella Reyes

Hi, Fr. Reyes!
I hope you still remember me! :) It's been a while since my last visit to Woodrose, and I never really got the chance to thank my high school teachers and mentors for the all the advice and guidance. So, I am very glad that I have this opportunity to tell you that I feel very blessed to have had you as a teacher and school chaplain. Until now, I still find myself looking back at old notes I made from your homilies, meditation, & retreat lectures- it's what now guides me when I get overwhelmed and frustrated with life. Thank you, Fr. for your time, patience, and care. I hope to see you and chat again soon!

with best regards,
Drea :)

Hi Fr. Reyes!

I just want to thank you for all that you've done for Woodrose. You've given so much time and effort to make students, teachers, staff, and their families see and understand the beauty of our faith. You've found new ways to help people in their spiritual lives. It's amazing how much one person can affect so many others!

Thank you for all that you've taught us in Moral Theology. As an alumni, I really think that class is what kept me grounded throughout my college journey. When I look back at those years, I realized how much I learned from you in our classes and your meditations every Friday at Narra! You helped prepare us for World Youth Day and ultimately for life beyond the brick walls. It is definately a challenge, but thanks to you, it's a bit easier to navigate.

I'm sure all the batches you've taught in Woodrose are very grateful for all that you've taught us. Thank you so much for never giving up on our batch no matter how crazy we were!

Hope to see you around!

Signed,
Isa Garcia

Hi Fr. Reyes!
Hope you’ve been well! Thank you for all you’ve done not just for me but many students in Woodrose. From spiritual direction to imparting knowledge both in class and in mass, which helped all of us grow in the faith and become closer to God. I still hope we can do Spiritual Direction again soon if you’ll still be based in Manila. I really miss seeing you, making you kwento about my life and hearing what your advice is. Thank you also for always being so warm, accepting and non-judgemental hehe. Take care Father and wish you all the best in this new chapter of your life! God bless 🙏🏾

Through you and the kind of values you uphold, I have learnt how to be firm in my principles whilst staying true to myself. Thank you so much, and I wish you the happiest in the days ahead.

Hey Fr. Reyes!

I'd like to take this time to thank you for teaching Batch 2016's Theology Classes (Veritatis Splendor) and many other religious based readings during our High School stay in WR. It's such a shame that WR will be losing a great and wonderful priest. But with that being said, I do hope that you take care and make new memories with your new school/area. They too deserve your amazing teachings!

Thanks once again Fr! Many Blessings and wishes to you!

Hello Fr Reyes! Having been your student, I'm very thankful for your firmness, wisdom, and passion for what you do, as I'm sure all the batches you've taught have experienced as well. As alumni, we've seen you come up with such great and innovative projects, which clearly show just how much you love your work and those that you teach!  We're praying for you in your next journey. You will definitely be missed in Woodrose but I'm sure you will be welcomed and just as loved in your new assignment! :) I hope Leeroy and the other dogs are doing okay! :D
