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.

Tariq, our children ministry volunteer
I am Tariq.b.John, a student of the Missionary Society of St. Paul (mssp). As part of my exposure to ministry in the Philippines, I currently volunteer with the ICPE to experience ministry to the children in Montalban. It has been about 8 months already and I join the group every Saturday. During these months, I felt that, the ministry had been conducted very faithfully through the planning of catechism and organizing different activities with different techniques and games to teach the children. I like the way that we always start the catechism class with prayer, first among us and then worship and praise with the children. Through that I really experienced the presence of God. Even though I am taking part in children ministry only, I can see some of the ICPE group members doing youth and family ministry. In a way, I can say we are not ministering only children but also taking care of the family in which they grow.
