St. Joseph Parish outreach

St. Joseph Parish Christian Outreach to the Philippines!

Thank You!

Through the generosity of the parishioners of St. Joseph, we were able to help the Diocese of Romblon's various charitable, social, educational and formational ministries. Last June, Fr. Manolo gave $1,000.00 from our parish's "Tithing our Tithes" program.

We also helped the Social Action Center of the Diocese of Malolos in the Philippines to help the victims of the recent flooding in Northern Luzon which sent hundreds of thousands fleeing their homes. Almost 90% of the town was hit by floods which reached up to the second floors of the houses. Even now, thousands are still in temporary shelters. The 35,000.00 Philippine Peso ($833.00) was turned over to Msgr. Andy Valera, Vicar General of the Diocese of Malolos. The donation was collected during the Installation and blessing of the San Lorenzo Ruis Icon last September.

Through the second collection during Filipino Masses, we were able to send financial aid to the San Lorenzo Ruis Seminary for the formation of priests in Fr. Manolo's Diocese in the Philippines.
