The Augustinians supported the September Vocation Month of the Diocese of Surigao by participating in the vocation campaign that was organized from September 15 to 17, 2014. Fr. Jaime Ucab, DCS, the diocesan vocation coordinator, invited religious priests and nuns working within the diocese and with some guests religious from neighboring provinces to hold vocation talks to different schools. Fray Genesis P. Labana, OSA represented the Augustinian communities of Burgos and Socorro. There were nine religious women congregations, four religious men congregations and one from the diocesan clergy. Fr. Ucab celebrated the opening mass on the 15th. From 16 to 17 nine schools were visited hoping to attract vocations and eventually enter the priestly and religious life. The schools were San Nicolas High School in Anao-aon, St. John's School in Bacuag, St. Augustine Institute and Gigaquit National School of Home Industries in Gigaquit, Claver National High School in Claver, and North Eastern Mindanao College, Surigao State College of Technology, Surigao Education Center, Caraga Regional Science High School, all in Surigao City.
At the closing mass held in the evening of September 17, Bishop Antonieto Cabajog, Bishop of Surigao, presided the mass at the Marajao Magbalantay Major Seminary. He was thankful to the different congregations for visiting his diocese and hoped that the seeds of vocation planted on the students will be sown in the coming days. Ang kapistahan sa Inahan sa Kanunayng Panabang diri sa Socorro, Surigao del Norte nahimong malampuson human sa ika-siyam ka adlaw sa novena ug sa katumanan niini niadtong Hunyo 10 hangtud sa 19.
