Father Eugene Daberto - MHM ( Mill Hill Missionary)

The Sebastehanons fondly remember him as Father Dab, an Italian by birth, but Sebastehanon by aspiration. It was this aspiration that propelled Father Dab to pave the way for a massive employment for dependents of the then depressed families of Sebaste, Austria and other parts of Europe. The concrete houses that now nestle on residential lots where once stood nipa shanties are living testimonials to the love and concern for the poor, of that God-Sent missioner and visionary. Moments before his death, Father Dab chose to be buried in Sebaste, the place thousands of miles away from his homeland, but which he has learned to love as his own.
