A Missionary Church

The year 2020 is a year like no other with its tragic events and political divisions. Depending on one’s perspective, and with God’s grace, we can still appreciate this year as one of transformation and compassionate servant leadership.

Dialogue: The Great Bridge Builder

There are many different perspectives of the Truth in the world. In order to bridge these differences, we must humbly open our hearts and minds to have proper dialogue.

Holistic Formation Programs

It is normal to categorize our life into different areas such as spiritual, social and many other areas of human sciences. Yet the reality is that human life cannot be categorized. It is important to have a holistic approach in dealing with people.        

Overcoming Poverty

Despite the frightening atmosphere of the Covid-19 pandemic, we still believe that God is alive and wants us to experience fullness of life. This is perceptible when people inspired by God take the responsibility to lift others out of poverty.  

Communicating Pro-Life Issues

The rapid spread of Covid-19 globally challenged the fight for life in many aspects such as spiritual, mental, physiological and economic. How could we, as a Church, enter into these realities and bring concrete manifestations of hope, life and serenity?

The Accompaniment Ministry

Depressive disorders contribute more and more to non-fatal health loss and sometimes lead to suicide. To address these social issues, many parishes set up the accompaniment ministry as a response to the invitation of Jesus to be instruments of His hope and His healing love to others.

Think Globally, Act Locally

The outbreak of the deadly virus Covid-19 has affected the whole world and each government is struggling to find its own methods of containing the virus while trying to learn from the experiences of other countries.

Nature Calls
