Throughout the month of September, the Pauline Family in the Philippines celebrated the Month of the Word by means of Liturgies, enthronements of the Bible, Lectio divina, animations on the Scriptures, Biblical stage plays, and other evangelization activities enriched by cultural songs and dances.
The missions were carried out on the country’s three major islands (Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao) by evangelization teams made up of members of the Pauline Congregations present in those areas.
In Metro Manila, the PF launched the “Month of the Word” with a Eucharistic Celebration presided over by Fr. Jose Aripio, Provincial Superior of the Society of St. Paul. Fr. Dominic Guzman, ssp, who delivered the homily, presented the figure of Blessed James Alberione and his love for the Bible, which he passed on to the whole Pauline Family.
In the Visayas region, 37 members of the Pauline Family conducted a 4-day Bible Mission in 8 parishes on Siquijor Island.
Our missionaries say that this experience has strengthened the bonds between the Institutes of the PF and its success has given everyone the enthusiasm to organize another communal missionary project in the near future.
