BNP History in Windsor
The BNP chapter in Windsor started through the fervor of three graduates who experienced the inspiration of the Holy Spirit after they attended the preparatory class in Ohio. A Fatima Unit was installed for the first time through their initiative. The first Apostolic mission class followed in April 1992 headed by Ate Salve with councils and staff from California, Chicago, and Ohio. The women’s class and men’s class were held simultaneously on April 23-24-25 for women and April 24-25-26 1992 for men. The BNP mission began to spread quickly through the combined efforts of brothers and sisters in Ohio, and Windsor and Councils from California. A Fatima unit was installed in Detroit Michigan. Another Fatima unit was installed in London Ontario. The graduates continued to grow with active participation in activities of the BNP in Detroit Michigan and assisted in the first Panawagan class in Detroit in November 1994. The first overnight vigil adoration on the first Friday of the month was held in the house of staff members where the sepulchro was situated. All other Fridays were held at St. Anthony church. Ultreyas were held every other Tuesday in the basement of the church. The chapter continued to flourish. The first youth boys and girls Panawagan classes were sponsored in the summer of 1995 in Rodney Ontario, with the help of our Kuya councils and staff from California and Ohio as well as vigil adorers. By October 1995, the activities included the combined youth and adult ultreyas, and vigil adoration. A large delegation from Windsor participated in the blessing of the HOP in California on October 23, 1996. The love of MNI became the force that glued us together in spite of the problems that were beginning to brew when Windsor became a chapter in 1994. Trials and tribulations began to affect the love and peace that MNI implanted in the hearts of the brothers and sisters. The church authorities started to question the religious activities of the BNP especially the Vigil Adoration and ultreya. The graduates began to question the mission of the BNP and some members left the movement. The few faithful members continued to persevere in their beliefs in MNI and their devotion to the Blessed Mother. The support of our Kuya councils and other staff and vigil adorers from surrounding chapters strengthened us and solidified our drive to continue the mission here in Windsor. Once again MNI proved His love for His children here in Windsor. Ate Salve with Kuya Nilo, and staff and councils from California and other Midwest chapters held a weekend with Ate in July 1998. The event was well attended by all over the US and Canada. Staff, were appointed by MNI, from Windsor, Michigan, Toronto and Ohio. MNI always knows our spiritual and temporal needs. He once again came to Windsor in the midst of our trials and doubts to fulfill His promise that He will always be with His children no matter what happens. The chapter continued to spread our devotion to our lady of Fatima. We held a Marian Retreat in Tecumseh and were blessed with 98 graduates. Another Fatima was installed in Chatham Ontario. We then encountered an obstacle in London Ontario when the Bishop prohibited the spreading of the Marian devotion in London. But the Ultreya and vigil adoration continued to flourish despite the problems with the church authorities. MNI said during one of His Feast days that the BNP is His Family and we are all His children. In spite of these loving words from our Blessed Lord, we always seem to forget His endearing words. Conflicts between the graduates and staff continued to be a hindrance in our faith, and obedience to MNI. Our youth ministry slowly vanished as they grew into adulthood, school responsibilities, and other priorities became obstacles to their commitment to the movement. Most of them had moved away. The demise of the youth ministry became a big disappointment to the chapter. We continue to pray for them that the seed of faith that MNI planted in their hearts may light the spark of faith and desire to be transformed throughout their life. The past 25 years in the life of the Windsor Chapter have been filled with joy and suffering which are just the path that our Blessed Lord experienced during his earthly life. We continue to move forward and with MNIs grace and inspiration and the witness of Ates life. Her love her sacrifice and her faith in MNI. For through Ate we learn how to love and serve our God, MNI who loves us in spite of our un- worthiness. MNI, we thank you for your 25 years of unconditional love and blessing to each one of us. Our lives have been forever changed, and our journey in the BNP university will continue to enrich us forever. Ate Salve, the Windsor Chapter extends our sincere gratitude for your love support prayers but most of all your infinite patience. Twenty five years ago, MNI sent you to Windsor for the first apostolic mission class in that old school in Anderdon Township on a cold, cold day in April 1992. From the very beginning, of the mission, MNI revealed to us clearly that serving Him would not be easy. Thank you MNI for teaching us that our struggles would be well worth it. We are forever grateful for the life changing journey that you have set before us. We will continue to learn more about you and love one another as you love us.

Message from the Chairperson First of all, I would like to congratulate the Windsor, Canada Chapter as you celebrate your 25th Anniversary - a milestone in your mission in the Banal na Pagaaral. Making such a milestone is indeed a cause for great joy and celebration. Mahal na Ingkong has blessed you abundantly in the past 25 years of your service in the mission with His strength and grace. And this is the reason why from your humble beginnings as a chapter, you have persevered and remained faithful in the last 25 years. Today, as we look back the past twenty-five years of your service in the mission, I cannot but thank each one of you for the hard work, the dedication and the commitment you have shown to me and to Mahal na Ingkong. But, like any other chapter in the movement, you were not spared of hardships and adversities along your journey. Many have left and gone on their own ways. But this is all a part of our learning to serve God. And you have learned well over the years. To Mahal na Ingkong, the strength of a chapter is not based on quantity but on the quality of the members in the chapter. For those of you who have stayed, Mahal na Ingkong has rewarded you through the continued unfolding of His plans for each one of you in the chapter. I encourage all of you to stay with the movement with perseverance and faith. Do not give up the fight even when at times, I know you feel like giving up. I am here as your Chairperson and for those of you who persevered and remained in the movement, you have given me a feeling of love, joy and sense of victory. You became witnesses to countless transformation of lives because of Mahal na Ingkong’s tremendous love, patience and guidance for each one of us. As you celebrate 25 years in your service to the mission of the Banal na Pag-aaral, I want you to know that it is not over yet. There is still much ahead of us. Let us look forward to next year as we celebrate the 50 years anniversary of the BNP in the whole world and 35 years here in the US. For this reason, we need to unite ourselves as we continue to be the witnesses of the truth that is Mahal na Ingkong. Hold on to your faith, hope and love. Our greatest evangelization is the change in our lives for people to see and believe that our mission, the Banal na Pagaaral, is truly the work of God. I would like to thank the Council, Regular Staff, the Vigil Adorers and graduates of Windsor, Canada for their valuable support in all our undertakings – a testimony to the fact that the Banal na Pag-aaral is stronger than ever in our faith and in our love for Mahal na Ingkong. I know you have always been there for me and I truly appreciate your generosity, your support and the love you have shared with us through the years. God bless us all. With all my love,
Ate Salve
