FORMATION UPDATES
A. YEAR OF THE POOR ON-GOING FORMATION
Pope Francis has been dubbed as the champion of the poor. According to CBCP’s statement, the year 2015 is the time to re-examine the use of natural resources to make sure that they benefit the poor.
According to Fr. Enrico Martin F. Adoviso, chairman of Manila’s (RCAM)’s Commission on Social Services and Development (CSSD), “We as the Church of the Poor are called to renew our commitment to Christ’s mission and to always take the side of the poor and the oppressed, especially when and where there is injustice and denial of basic human rights. The farmers that till the land to bring us food, the fisher folks who navigate the seas for us and the workers who run the industries are still materially poor after decades and generations of work for living. Their dignity as co-creator of the Lord should be reclaimed.”
B. MINISTRY MANAGEMENT SEMINAR
Speaker: Ms. Marivic Roldan
This series will be a regular part of our General Assemblies and is aimed at developing leadership and management skills/competencies in our ministry coordinators.
