OBLATES of the VIRGIN MARY (OMV)
( August 24 & 25, 2013 ) Father Jeremy Paulin, OMV will make a Mission Appeal to our parish in all the Masses on the weekend of
August 24 & 25, 2013. Please, kindly use the enve-lopes provided in the pews and please be generous to the work in the missions. Thank you very much.
MISSIONARY COOPERATIVE PLAN 2013
The Oblates of the Virgin Mary began giving the Spiritual Ex-ercises in the Philippines in 1994. At first, an Oblate priest sta-tioned in Italy made trips to the Philippines for several months at a time to carry out this ministry. Due to the great demand for retreats coming from the Filipino people, the Oblates soon be-gan to consider starting a permanent mission there. After meet-ing with bishops in several dioceses, the Oblates decided to start their foundation in the Archdiocese of Cebu. It was 1997, and our foundation in the Philippines officially began. Cebu is, by the way, the island where the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan landed to spread Christianity in the Philippines and Asia.
In coming to the Philippines, it was an Oblate goal to train young Filipino men to become Oblate priests. In late 1999, work began on building a house of formation and by late 2001, construction was completed. The opening of school year 2002 saw the admission of the first Filipino seminarians to the priestly formation program. In addition to Cebu, we now have a house of theology for seven seminarians in Manila.
There are also many challenges. The Philippines is a very poor country and majority of Filipino families are poor and live on very modest means. Our seminarians are no exception. The Oblates therefore shoulder the full cost of training a young man for the priesthood. Presently, it costs approximately $2,500 a year to educate, feed, and clothe a seminarian.
The future, however, looks bright for the Oblate presence in the Philippines. As the retreat ministry continues to flourish, the coming school year June 2014 will also welcome twenty-six seminarians at different levels of formation.
Oblatos de la Virgen María (OVM) (24 y 25 de agosto del 2013)
Padre Jeremy Paulin, OMV presentar una apelación de Misión a nuestra parroquia en todas las misas del fin de semana del 24 y 25 de agosto del 2013. Por favor, utilice los sobres en las bancas y sean generosos con el trabajo en las misiones. Muchas gracias.
PLAN DE COOPERACIÓN MISIONERA 2013
Los Oblatos de la Virgen María comenzaron a dar Ejercicios Espirituales en las Filipinas en 1994. Al principio, un sacerdote oblato estacionado en Italia hizo un viajes a las Filipinas durante varios meses a la vez para llevar a cabo este ministerio. Debido a la gran demanda de retiros viniendo de los filipinos, los Oblatos pronto empezaron a considerar una misión permanente. Después de reunirse con los obispos de varias diócesis, los Oblatos decidieron iniciar su fundación en la Arquidiócesis de Cebú. Era 1997, y nuestra fundación en la Filipinas comenzó oficialmente. Cebú es, por cierto, la isla donde el explorador portugués Fernando de Magallanes desembarcó a difundir el cristianismo en las Filipinas y Asia. Al llegar a las Filipinas, que era un objetivo Oblatos de entrenar jóvenes filipinos a ser sacerdotes oblatos. A finales de 1999, se comenzó a trabajar en la construcción de una casa de formación y para finales de 2001, la construcción fue terminada. La apertura del año escolar 2002 vio la admisión de los primeros seminaristas filipinos al programa de formación sacerdotal. Además de Cebu, ahora tenemos una casa de teología de siete seminaristas en Manila. También hay muchos retos. Las Filipinas es un país muy pobre y la mayoría de las familias filipinas son pobres y viven en medios muy modestos. Nuestros seminaristas no son una excepción. Los Oblatos por lo tanto cargar con el costo total de entrenar un hombre joven para el sacerdocio. En la actualidad, cuesta aproximadamente $2,500 al año para educar, alimentar y vestir a un seminarista. El futuro, sin embargo, parece brillante para la presencia oblata en las Filipinas. Como el ministerio retiro continúa floreciendo, el próximo año escolar junio 2014 también dará la bienvenida a veintiséis seminaristas en los diferentes niveles de formación.

Floods cover sections of Manila
Record-breaking rainfall in the Philippines over the last several days has led to flooding in many communities around Manila, a me-tropolis of 18 million people.
The Associated Press is reporting more than 600,000 people affected by flooding, with water in some communities waist and neck-deep. Reuters said that a month’s worth of rain fell in one day, overwhelming low-lying areas.
Joe Curry, CRS’ country representative in the Philippines, noted that reservoirs and rivers are breaching their banks. “The poorest families often live closest to flood-prone areas,” said Curry, “and are likely to suffer disproportionately from heavy rains.”
