Mission
And also we commit ourselves:
to carry out a renewed integral evangelization, by announcing the Gospel as a message of salvation and liberation to transform our society by proclaiming God’s Kingdom of justice, truth, freedom and love; to form basic ecclesial communities as the concrete way of being church today; to help the laity, especially the youth and the family exercise their power and mission; to witness to the gospel in our concrete life. |
Vision
We envision ourselves as:
a Community of Disciples imbued with committed faith, marked by a life of communion, participation and mission, constantly formed by the Holy Trinity; a Church of the poor Embracing evangelical poverty, possessed with a love of preference for the poor, in solidarity with all the struggle for human dignity and rights, and acknowledging the power of the poor to evangelize, a Transformed People committed to the liberation and transformation of society towards being a nation that is maka-diyos, maka-bayan, maka-tao, maka-buhay and maka-kalikasan. |
Trust
Hence our basic Diocesan Thrust is:
The building of basic ecclesial communities of liberation towards total human development through integral evangelization.
We invoke the aid of our Blessed Mother, the first to be evangelized.
we implore the patronage of St.Ferdinand, who was able to integrate life and faith and subject his rule to the sovereign Reign of God.
