Part 1 of our updates - Reaching out in and around Tagaytay

We continue reaching out to our Barangay (village) with our monthly home visits and Eucharistic Celebrations.
The celebration of the Holy Eucharist in our centre

 











Our Barangay children have been receiving monthly catechesis and faith formation through our Children Ministry in Tagaytay. Commencing in September, the meetings have increased to once a fortnight.


Who knows the answer?

Working hard on our project

Love God and Love our neighbour


This Pentecost past, our Barangay youth joined us to celebrate the joy of the gift of the Holy Spirit to the church. Together with some youth from Montalban, they gathered for a day of prayer, fun and rejoicing!
Praying for each youth



 






A gift-giving day in Magallanes

Thanks to a generous donor from Singapore, we have been able to share and distribute clothes and books to children and their families in the rural area of Magallanes in Cavite Province.

Located an hours drive from Tagaytay, these families subsist from hand to mouth as they till the land, planting vegetables and fruits. Thank you Aunty T for blessing these families and helping us by sending over the donation of books and clothes!





 Bearing fruit

In June 2012, Riza Ymas, a Seeds of Faith member from Montalban, began her first year of high school education at the SHIM International School in Tagaytay. She won a scholarship that covers part of her tuition fees but she stays with us in the community as we continue to support her other educational needs.


Through her hard work, Riza was awarded top student in her class at the end of her first year in the school. Apart from her educational needs, we also assist Riza in her faith formation and personal development - this includes helping to prepare her to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation, English tuition and computer lessons. Riza just started her 2nd year of high school this June.
