OUR MISSION

We commit ourselves

and meditated upon in the Church.  
We will live and proclaim the Word 
as Good News to the poor, 
let the Bible inspire all our pastoral work, 
and be guided by the teachings 
of Dei Verbum and Verbum Domini, 
and by the vision of the 
Second Plenary Council of the Philippines.


OUR VISION

A Community of Disciples

Witnessing to the Gospel,
