We, the Philippines mission centre, began in Manila in 1997 at the invitation of the late Jaime Cardinal Sin, the Archbishop of Manila. Our goal: enable the light of Christ to shine brightly in the Philippines, the only Catholic country in the heart of Asia. As the majority of the population of the Philippines lives in poverty. Vision: Empowering the poor with God's compassionate love in the heart of Asia.

We have more books!
The children ministry mobile library has expanded, and now we have more books than we can count. Once every 2 weeks, the 'library' is open for children to return the borrowed books and soak themselves in yet another book of adventure. It has been running for nearly 5 months now and the response has been overwhelming! This is also an opportunity for us to teach the children about taking care of the books, sharing resources and following simple rules. One particular week, the books were all laid out on the table, but once the announcement was made that books are available, they were all snapped up in less than 5 minutes! Here's a big thank you to those who have kindly donated their books for this purpose. You have contributed much to the expanding of young minds. Thank you!
