It was a grace-filled day spent with the lolos and lolas of San Jose Balay Alima in Indang, Cavite. We came bearing simple gifts—sacks of rice, milk, and diapers—but left with hearts fuller than we could have imagined. The elderly welcomed us warmly and serenaded us with their timeless favorites, their voices carrying stories of years past.

CHILDREN OF EASTERN MORN

​Just before lunch on Easter Sunday, we had a chance to catch up with the kids of Parthenos in Quezon City. We reflected on how Jesus rising from the dead sets Him apart from all other religious founders—He’s alive, and because of that, we live in hope that we, too, will rise one day. The kids received packed meals and snacks, and the highlight? Their brand-new choir uniforms, which they'll wear proudly when singing at Mass! A big thank you to our generous sponsors for making this possible. We’ll share photos of them in their lovely new uniforms once everyone’s back from their vacation in the provinces. Thank you for your refreshing generosity—we remembered you as we prayed the Glorious Mysteries. Happy Easter!

GOD DWELLS AMONG US

​On Easter Sunday, the mission community of the Missionaries of the Holy Face of Jesus (Mshikhe d-Parṣufa Qaddisha d-Ishoʿ) gratefully received a brass Tabernacle box, a generous gift from physician benefactors who made the donation in memory of Fr. Joseph Raymund Biliran—a dear friend in life, whose spiritual presence continues to inspire us now that he has returned to his eternal home. 

Dearest Padresito, we humbly ask you to intercede for us from the balconies of heaven. To our esteemed physician donors, your Easter offering will bear fruit in deepening devotion to the Holy Eucharist, particularly among the children of the mission community in Naic, Cavite. With this gift, they are now able to visit the Lord Jesus daily in the Blessed Sacrament enthroned at the altar.

"If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord—and he will repay you (Proverbs 19:17)." The mission community offers its sincere love and prayers for your continued success and well-being. Wishing you a blessed and joyful Easter.

INVEST IN CHILDREN, INVEST IN THEIR FUTURE

​At 29 years old, Teacher Regina has already dedicated nearly a decade to nurturing the minds of pre-schoolers. Now teaching in a public school, she manages a class of 40 to 50 pupils, many of whom rely heavily on visual aids to grasp daily lessons. On the morning of Holy Wednesday, we had the opportunity to meet Teacher Regina and hand over a set of essential teaching tools: a color printer and scanner, a laminating machine, reams of laminating film, and stacks of bond paper. These resources will allow her to produce engaging instructional materials and visual aids for School Year 2025–2026.

Her young students—future doctors, nurses, teachers, astronauts, firefighters, and priests—are only beginning their journey. But thanks to your generous support, the first notes of their dreams are already rising in a hopeful #Crescendo toward a brighter future. We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who made these much-needed supplies possible. May God bless you for the goodness that echoes in your hearts.

Our visit to the sick, disabled, and special children at Home of Joy in Tayuman, Manila was a beautiful reminder of how God’s love shines through the kindness and generosity of people like you.  

Thanks to your support, we were able to bring plenty of essential items—canned goods like sardines, corned beef, and tuna, as well as biscuits, rice, milk, Milo, and other groceries. This Lenten Food Drive wouldn’t have been possible without your generosity. "Your heavenly Father, who sees your good deed in secret, will reward you openly and abundantly." (Matthew 6:4)  

A heartfelt thank you to all our volunteers and sponsors! May this Lenten season inspire us to continue sharing and helping, bringing joy and hope to those in need. Wishing you all a blessed and meaningful Lent!

TAIL-WAGGING THANKS

It was a moderately chilly day in Silang when we visited the 82 dogs and around 30 cats at Care for Paws Shelter and Sanctuary. Luz, their dedicated coordinator, warmly welcomed us and shared exciting updates about the shelter’s ongoing programs for these lovable furballs. I was especially happy to see Cookie the poodle again—she bravely survived distemper and is now five years old, proudly serving as CPSS’s mascot!

A huge thank you to the Ramirez family for driving us to and from the facility, and to our generous sponsors who helped us put together much-needed dog and cat food provisions. Your kindness keeps these furry friends happy, nourished, and well cared for!

If you’re celebrating a family milestone and want to spread some love or simply  just gain ligtas points, consider paying these adorable creatures a visit. The shelter is currently in need of four orbit fans to keep the animals cool this summer, dextrose powder for hydration, and four spinning mops to keep their kennels clean. Every bit of support makes a world of difference! Let’s keep making tails wag and hearts full.

"The godly care for their animals." - Proverbs 12:10

GIRLS AND WOMEN OF GRACE

Blessed Berenice Duque founded the Little Sisters of the Annunciation, a community of religious women dedicated to caring for girls and women who have often been left to fend for themselves. Her ministry, which began in Colombia, has now expanded to 16 countries. In the Philippines, they can be found at Casa Pequeña de Nazaret in BF Resort, Las Piñas, on a street named after Miss Universe Margarita Moran, known for her beauty and intelligence.

We made a quick visit to bring food supplies and say hello. The girls were busy studying but immediately stood up to greet us and ask for a blessing as soon as we arrived. Their studious, polite, and cheerful demeanor is a testament to the amazing work the Sisters are doing in nurturing and caring for them. Interestingly, the girls are learning Spanish through their daily conversations with the Sisters. You can celebrate women’s empowerment by including them in your family milestones, like birthdays and anniversaries. It’s a meaningful way to support their mission while making your special moments even more memorable.

“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done.” Proverbs 19:17

WHERE HOPE IS BORN, PEOPLE REGAIN THEIR DIGNITY

On Friday the 13th, we spent a meaningful afternoon with the lolos and lolas at the House of Somang (Hope) in Levitown, Better Living, Parañaque City. Under the loving care of the Kkottongnae Sisters of Jesus, this visit brought joy and companionship to the elderly, breaking the monotony of their daily lives. These moments of connection help combat loneliness and brighten their spirits.  The seniors were delighted to receive gifts of rice, adult diapers, biscuits, toiletries, and food packs. Sharing a meal, prayers, songs, and dances with them just days before Christmas made the day even more special.  
​

There’s no greater joy than giving, and no better gift for the elderly than hope. To our energetic volunteers and selfless sponsors, your efforts have been a true blessing to the elderly. Thank you for your time and thoughtful contributions. May the Lord multiply your kindness and generosity a thousand-fold in 2025! Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas as we wrap up 2024 missions on a high note!

PLANTING SEEDS OF HOPE FOR FARMERS' CHILDREN

Christmas is often said to be a time for children, and this spirit guided our mission today in Nueva Vizcaya and Isabela. Covering a journey of about 450 kilometers, we delivered desktop computers and a printer to support not only the parish staff in their administrative tasks but also the children of farmers in their education. These tools will enable students to attend online classes, prepare projects, and print coursework, while helping parish staff improve efficiency in managing reports and files.  

This generous donation, made in loving memory of Manuel + and as an expression of gratitude by Crescendo Group of Companies for the special blessings received in 2024, has brought joy and hope to the two Franciscan parishes in the dioceses of Bayombong and Ilagan.  

Though the long journey left us physically exhausted, our hearts are filled with joy as we return home, knowing we’ve extended God’s love to those in need.  "God is just; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them." (Hebrews 6:10)

AN EARLY CHRISTMAS TREAT

As Super Typhoon Pepito intensified and struck Bicol on Saturday, Tagaytay City remained warm and sunny, with a cool breeze in the air. The goal of the day was to reconnect with Tahanan Vedruna, which had been off my radar for months. Their contact details online were no longer up to date, and I had not received a response to the emails I sent. So, I decided to visit Tagaytay in person to check on the children and sisters, bringing much-needed supplies like bond paper, rice, and food packs. The children and sisters were deeply grateful for the visit and eagerly shared some homemade products they had made. Before I left, they also gifted us with fresh papaya and sayote from their home garden. Christmas is truly for children, and I encourage you to consider visiting them during the holidays to spread joy. I also reached out to a couple of friends working with PLDT to help get them connected to the internet. This will allow them to get back online and become reachable to everyone once again. I’m confident they’ll be back in circulation very soon.
​
A heartfelt thank you to all the donors who made this visit possible by contributing grocery and school supplies. A special thanks also to the generous soul who drove us and the goodies to and from the mission area. You are all living testaments that when God blesses you financially, you don’t raise your standard of living; you raise your standard of giving. Your kindness and support are truly appreciated.
