On August 10-11, 2024, the Vice-Province of Manila hosted a Lay Assembly with the theme “Shared Mission of Courageous Hope in the Footsteps of the Redeemer.” The event focused on aligning participants with the Vice-Province’s mission, updating lay partners on recent developments and the apostolic plan of the Conference and the Vice-Province, and celebrating progress in our collective mission.
The assembly featured an inspiring message from Rev. Fr. Yoakim Ndelo, C.Ss.R., Coordinator of the Conference of Asia-Oceania, and a talk by Rev. Fr. Raymond Urriza, C.Ss.R., VP Superior. Fr. Mond addressed the current status of Partners in Mission within the Vice-Province of Manila and outlined the Apostolic Plans for the upcoming years. The participants also had a chance for personal reflection in the current situation of Mission in their respective communities and share their insights in a group discussion.
The event concluded with a synthesis of the discussions by Ms. Rosanna Latorre, followed by a Eucharistic Mass celebrated by Rev. Fr. Mhel Dacillo, C.Ss.R.
We express our deepest gratitude to all Lay Partners in the Redemptorist Vice-Province of Manila for their unwavering commitment and dedication to our shared mission.
