The feast of Christ the King is celebrated every year on the last Sunday of ordinary time. It is the last Sunday before the season of Advent marking the four Sundays of Christmas.
This year, our parish invited us to be part of their celebrations. A concert for the youth and the young at heart. The concert was called “Rock 4 Jesus”. Our item is a mime presentation called ‘Testify to Love’.
The audience was fully participating and clapping along with the many bands and items being presented.
All in all, we were happy to be a part of the festivities.
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.

Christmas celebrations for families
On December 21, we held a Christmas program for families. Many new families we met while carolling came with their children and spouses. A drama was presented by the children of the ICPE Children ministry, a time for families to pray together, and a time for us to pray with them. We hope that they will bring the true meaning of Christmas home with them.

Advent celebration for families
On the 29th November, we organized an event for families. The theme for the session was about Advent – season of Love, Peace, Joy , Hope and Light. We encouraged families to pray together God grace and to take this season of Advent as an opportunity to evangelise.
During the 2-hour session, we had games for the family and also a activity where the families have to make an advent wreath. Most children from our ministry attended the session together with their mothers. About 45 families attended the event. It was a great experience organizing an event for families. We could feel God's presence amongst the families as they prayed for one another and during the time of worship.
Here's a short video clip on the families who attended the session.
