EXPANSION OF

MQHM COMMUNITY

God’s initiative… The work of God and our growing mission is seen

in the establishment of local houses in other

dioceses in the Philippines. He sent instruments

as potential link to the central figures in the

Diocese of Libmanan in Camarines Sur in the Bicol

Region the Bishop of Libmanan, His Excellency,

Most Reverend Jose R. Rojas Jr. D.D., sent an

invitation to establish in his diocese to help

address the problem of prostitution and the rural

poor.

His Excellency, Most Reverend Angel

Lagdameo, Archbishop of Jaro, Ilo-ilo warmly

welcomed the establishment of our local house in

Ilo-ilo City, giving us access to the rural poor in

the Panay region.

In the same manner, the establishment of a

local community in the Diocese of Calbayog was

gladly accepted by His Excellency, Most Reverend

Isabelo Abarquez, Bishop of Calbayog in Western

Samar. This opens the channel for MQHM to

reach out to the poor in the whole region. It is a

great blessing to be God’s helping hand to the

poor especially in the rural areas and mountain

ranges.

“Here I am Lord; I come to do your will”

We are grateful for the gift of vocation and

perseverance of seven postulants who were

admitted to the novitiate last January 31, 2014 in

Tumalog, Oslob, Cebu. They feel the zeal to serve

GOD in the mission for the poor especially the

children and women victims of prostitution. May

God continue to bless them with humble and

obedient heart and holy charity.

MQHM MISSION REGIONS IN THE PANAY

ISLAND IN REGION VI

The Diocese of Ilo-ilo generously supports

the newly established MQHM Community in

Arevalo, Ilo-ilo City under the Sto. Nino de Arevalo

Parish, with the blessing of Archbishop Angel

Lagdameo. The parish priest Msgr. Amadeo Escanan

guides and supports the sisters.

Generous people in our community became

the channels of God’s providence for the sister’s

sustenance and apostolate.

The mayors of Ilo-ilo City and Sta. Barbara

gave permission to the sisters to visit night

establishment to reach out children and women

victims of prostitution to offer them a decent way

of living.

The mayors of selected fifteen rural

municipalities in the Panay Island also welcomed

our educational assistance program for the poor.

The sisters have started the survey for possible

beneficiaries in Oton and Tigbauan this January. The

parish priest assisted them and provided transport

service. God has prepared chosen instruments for

this plan.

I’m Forever Yours

Sr. Ma. Mares “Angela” B. Villalon, MQHM made her final commitment to be espoused to Christ for the rest of her life in her perpetual vow at the San Pedro Calungsod Shrine, last November 23, 2013, presided by His Excellency, Most Rev. Julito Cortez,D.D. , the new bishop of Dumaguete.

May the Queen of Heaven watch and protect her in her life, in her joys and sorrows, to be ever faithful to Christ in the covenant of love she had pledged.

HOME OF LOVE

3

The loving compassion of the Good Shepherd is visibly manifested in the home He created to shelter those

women and children survivors of prostitution and human trafficking. It has been three years since Home of Love

reopened after it was razed by fire in 2009.

The majority of those rescued have chosen to continue their rehabilitation and formation programs. Only 10

clients were discharged since 2010-2013 as shown in Table 1.

Health is Wealth

The Home of Love clients availed of a free cervical

cancer screening in Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center

last May 2013. They also benefited from a free dental clinic

from the Cebu Dental Society, headed by Dr. Ronald Loyola.

They found a new home and family

The Home of Love clients showed greater

perseverance in living a renewed life and their battle in their

daily encounter of people and events, which for them are

temptations and obstacles.

The Home of Love has become a

true home to them, where they have found a new

family in the presence of the MQHM Sisters and staff and

their fellow clients as well. They learned to respect each

other and day by day they started to open their hearts to

love and trust again. They shared laughter and tears

throughout their stay in the shelter, becoming like real

sisters.

For a period of two to three years of living under one

roof, they learned how to support each other. Although in

the first meeting they were rivals and enemies, now they

formed friendships like no other. They are concerned with

those who are struggling or giving up. They knew how to lift

up those who feel rejected, abandoned and alone.

A Life with God

They used to be lazy or refused to pray but now they are zealous in their spiritual life. They formed a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and Mother Mary. They love to sing religious songs and every Sunday they are scheduled to sing in the Parish of San Antonio de Abad. They now desire to have frequent confession.

TABLE I: THE TOTAL NUMBER OF WOMEN/GIRLS ADMITTED AND DISCHARGED IN THE HOME OF LOVE SINCE

SEPTEMBER 10, 2010 TO 2013.

A very touching

moment happened

in an annual Lenten

Recollection that was

conducted by Mr.

Anric Boholst, who is

a youth motivator.

Most clients broke

into tears as they

journeyed back

journeyed back into their past experiences. They

realized that God’s hand lifted them up and brought

them into the light.

Dancing and Singing for the Glory of God

The clients also showcased their talents in special

days like Easter Sunday and the Memorial of the Birth of

Mary. This is part of their psychological therapy through

acting, singing and dancing. The girls also found a sense

of value in themselves as they continue to discover that

they are capable of good. Some of them were used to

dance naked in night entertainment establishments and

sing meaningless songs in videoke bars. Now, their

bodies dance in praise of their Divine Creator and thus

led them to realize that there is indeed life after

prostitution.

Empowering through Education and Livelihood

A total of 22 clients studied in primary and

secondary schools in Putat, Tuburan last school year 2012-

2013. One pursued Bachelor of Science in Hospitality

Management in Cebu Technological University, Tuburan

Campus. Those who were recently rescued underwent the

basic literacy program at the center.

In October 2013, six clients were given the

opportunity to take the Elementary Level of the Alternative

Learning System held in Consolacion Central School, Cebu.

A livelihood of sewing school uniforms started last

April 2013. They were glad to partake of this program. They

felt a sense of success that they are capable earning a

decent living. They understood that truly nothing is

impossible with God as long you allow Him to work in one’s

life.

A SAFE HAVEN FOR CHILDREN

The shelter also has a child-friendly environment

that is conducive for their normal and healthy

growth. They too are given basic education. All of

these are free of charge.

The Home of Love is

a safe haven to

children dependents.

“Children

dependents” are the

sons and daughters

or minor siblings of

the rescued women.

They are provided

with their basic

needs of food and

nutrition as well as

their medical needs.

Visit of the Bishop of Libmanan

The visit of the Bishop of Libmanan, His Excellency,

Most Rev. Jose R. Rojas, D.D. brought joy to the

Home of Love Clients. They waited for this moment

so that they can make confession to a bishop about

delicate cases like abortion. Bishop Rojas gave a brief

inspirational message to the clients and he also

hoped to build a similar shelter in his diocese one

day.

PURGENT

MARY QUEEN OF HEAVEN MISSIONARIES: GOD’S GIFT TO THE DIOCESE OF LIBMANAN,

CAMARINES SUR God fulfills His plan at the right time, in the right

place, to the right people. It is not a mere coincidence that

the Bishop of Libmanan, Most Rev. Jose R. Rojas, Jr. D.D.

was looking for a congregation whose apostolate deals with

the children and women lost in prostitution. It was timely

that Sr. Lucia approached Msgr. Raul Pan who provided the

mass for the MQHM Novices in Tumalog, Oslob, Cebu; to

establish a local community in the Bicol Region. After

sometime he came back bringing the news that his former

classmate Bishop Jose Rojas, Jr. is interested to invite the

sisters in the Diocese of Libmanan.

Sr. Ma. Mares “Angela” Villalon, MQHM and Sr. Ma.

Gaudiosa “Clare” Pedoche were sent to Libmanan after we

received the invitation. Events turned out fast and

favorable. Fr. Romulo Castaneda, the generous parish priest

of St. Anthony de Padua in Mambulo, Nuevo was able to

find a house for the sisters, which is very accessible to the

Parish Church and transportation.

His Excellency, blessed the MQHM local house in

Mambulo, Nuevo and canonically erected it as St. Luke

Mission of Mary Queen of Heaven Missionaries, on October

18, 2013, Feast of St. Luke.

The sisters are now settled and have started the

good works of spreading God’s love to the poor especially in

the rural areas.

A MAJOR AND URGENT CONCERN!!

HELP US RENOVATE THE HOME OF LOVE

The strong 7.2 magnitude earthquake last October 15, 2013

that badly shook Bohol and Cebu had left a great damage

on the structural foundation of the upper building, causing

it to be totally condemned. It poses a great danger on the

safety of the sisters, staff and the children and women

sheltered in the Home of Love.

Furthermore the damage was aggravated by the Super

Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) particularly the roof and ceiling.

The said building urgently needs renovation. If renovated

and expanded, it will accommodate an additional fifty

clients, thereby multiplying the reclaimed souls for the

Good Shepherd.

BE CHANNELS OF GOD’S

WONDERFUL GRACE AND

PROVIDENTIAL CARE.

P

MQHM in PASIG

The sisters reached out to the

different parishes in the Diocese of Pasig. They

echoed the mission of salvation as an advocacy to

spread the good news and give hope to the victims.

For more than three years they have roamed around

the cities at night to meet girls and women in

prostitution and during the day they extended their

apostolate to the parishioners of San Agustin and

serve them by giving catechism, counseling and

spiritual interventions.

At the same time, they sell religious items

and invited the different parish organizations to

become part of the mission and be called the MQHM

Wings or mission partners. These lay partners assist

them during rosary and scapular drives while others

join in bar and red light district visitations and some

extend their spiritual and financial support.

Monthly masses are held in the convent and

the mission partners gather for an update and for

bonding. The small MQHM community in this

diocese is growing through the constant prayers and

support of the diocese and their lay partners.

Regina Coeli Educational Assistance Program

MQHM continues in spreading the message of

hope in God’s love to the poor all over the province of Cebu. Since 2007, the Sisters together with the MQHM Tertiary Community has given educational assistance to 662 pupils of Tumalog, Canang and Can-ukban, Oslob, Cebu. And a sum of 1,617 poor high school beneficiaries from the 34 towns of Cebu also benefitted in the same program. These beneficiaries will be supported all throughout their high school years.

To page 7

College Beneficiaries Graduated

Truly God’s generosity cannot be outdone. The 17 college students already graduated in their respective two year vocational courses on April 5, 2013 at Cebu Technological University, Argao Campus. This has

opened a new door of

opportunity

to these young men and women. They were also guided by the Sisters in their career path. They were monitored as to their present employment so that they can start earning and little by little will be lifted up from poverty.

His Excellency, Most Reverend Mylo Hubert Vergara, D.D., the Bishop of Pasig, had provided paternal

protection to the Sisters in Pasig Community. They were also given the blessing and permission to reach out to the

other dioceses in Antipolo, Paranaque, Cubao and Pampanga.

Partnerships with different organizations in the different parishes that belong to the said dioceses were

formed in order to assist and establish the mission in a new setting. These networks include:

1. ThePasig City Health Office for free Medical examinations to the women rescued and for medical

clearance and other requirements before sheltering them.

2. The DSWD in different localities for referrals and requirements.

NGO’s like International Justice Mission, Grace to be born and others for referrals, workshops and

seminars.

3. Religious Communities, Schools and Parish Organizations like SSDM, Legion of Mary and others for

referrals and volunteers for field work during bar visitations.

4. Individuals who are willing to become an MQHM mission partners who will assist the sisters in

the apostolate.

5. Professionals like Doctors, Psychologists, Psychiatrist and Social workers for free consultations,

medicine samples and among others.

FREEDOM FORUM

In September 5, 2013 Sr. Ma. Gaudiosa “Clare” C. Pedoche,

MQHM was one of the invited speakers in an after-care workshop

called the Freedom Forum: A Multi-Sectoral Gathering against

Human Trafficking, with the theme “Magkaisa: Ipaglaban ang

Angking Dangal”. This was co-convened by the three largest

church councils (CBCP, PCEC, and NCCP) in the Philippines in

response to the injustice caused by the growing industry of human

trafficking. The event featured expert speakers representing the

government, NGO and church leaders who gave the situation of

trafficking in the Philippines. It was followed with workshops in the

areas of advocacy, intervention and aftercare for participants to

take an active role in the fight.

“WHOM SHALL I SEND?”………” HERE I AM LORD, SEND ME.”

1. Are you willing to become channels of God’s love to the poor? Then volunteer as MQHM Tertiary and

be part of the mission.

2. How can you help in the mission? You can assist in the great task of helping/assisting the poor in their

educational program and spiritual formation:

Help organize the Awarding Ceremony of New Beneficiaries of Regina Coeli Educational

Program in respective places.

Help in the Distribution of School Supplies to High School Beneficiaries in their respective

schools.

Facilitate the Spiritual Formation of Beneficiaries and Recollection of their parents.

VICTIMS IN BANTAYAN ISLAND

Loving concern for the victims of Super

Typhoon “Yolanda” (Haiyan) which devastated several

houses and livelihood in several places including the

Bantayan Island, has generated resources from

kindhearted people and communities in Cebu, Canada

and other places.

Packages of rice, groceries and drinking water,

clothing and school supplies were orderly distributed

among all the beneficiaries of Regina Coeli Educational

Assistance in the towns of Sta. Fe, Bantayan and

Madredejos last January 3, 2014.

A WORK OPPORTUNITY AND BECOMING A PART OF THE MQHM MISSION

MQHM hired six of their own vocational graduates

of Garments Technology. They took part in sewing the school uniforms that were distributed among the high school beneficiaries. They were very glad to be given this simple opportunity to work and be of help in the MQHM apostolate.

Another six high school graduates from Oslob and Boljoon were hired as volunteers for interviewing and home visitations of the prospective high school beneficiaries for the school year 2014-2015. They helped in the distribution of school supplies, uniforms, shoes, bags, raincoats and materials for projects given to each student in the 62 schools of the 34 towns of Cebu. After their rigid training they were formally hired as staff in the mission in the three regions where the new MQHM local houses were established. They will work hand in hand with the Sisters in going to the mountain areas.

These young workers who were once beneficiaries of the Regina Coeli Educational Assistance Program were privileged to take part in the mission of reaching out to the poor.

In the same

way they are

employed and

can start

earning a

decent living

and can

already

support

themselves

and their

families.

MQHM in AMERICA

The Mary Queen of Heaven Missionaries is so

blessed to call the Archdiocese of Los Angeles their

home. Sr. Cecilia Canales, the Vicar for the Women

Religious of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles is

patiently guiding the sisters in realizing their mission

of helping the victims of prostitution and human

trafficking in Los Angeles and other parts of America.

Through the blessings and prayers of our own first

Filipino saint, they are also blessed to belong in St.

Lorenzo Ruiz Parish Community with Rev. Tony P.

Astudillo as the pastor, in Walnut, California.

10

Their neighbors and friends were very supportive of the apostolate. They supported them at the time they moved

to Walnut and joined them in their activities, recollections and novena prayers. They even produced concerts to help with

the mission.

The Sisters were given the opportunity to join the USCMA (United States Catholic Mission Association). Sr. Jeodalyn

“Isabel” Alontaga, MQHM and Sr. Josefa “Irene” Baquiran, MQHM represented the community in their conference held in

St. Louis, Missouri on Oct. 25, 26 and 27, 2013. They also had their mission appeal under the Propagation of Faith, in the

different Dioceses in the US.

A tertiary gathering was held last January 5, 2014 as a thanksgiving for all

the abundant graces that God has poured for them to continue with the mission

with the theme, “Joy of Service to God”. They prepared some meals and some

visitors even brought their very own specialty home cooked dishes. They were

updated in the progress of the mission and highlighted the plan and love of God for

the poor and the distressed, the mission to help the victims of prostitution, and to

provide education to the poor children in the mountain areas in the Philippines.

The Sisters made them understand that they were the “wings” of the

mission. After the presentation, they were all happy and grateful for the chance to

be the “wings”.

The sisters continuously pray that they will be filled with more fervor, love and

commitment in keeping with the mission. They shall always be in the service of the

Queen of Heaven and the Good Shepherd, in keeping His sheep safe, especially the

innocent taken by the wolves of this world, through perfect love and charity.

“COME BE WITH US! Join us in this wonderful journey of

reinforcing and monitoring the morale and based knowledge on Catholic teachings. Please make time, have time, and find time.”

Benefactors and tertiaries that are willing to be

trained as speakers and facilitators are all welcome. Come

and join us in a special way to reach out to people, young

and old alike. Your presence could be a powerful life

changing events for our beneficiaries.

“Conquer the World

with Love” The world was Evangelized through the Apostles

chosen by Christ Himself. The enemies of God had led the

people of this generation away from God, enticing them to

worldly pleasures and materialism.

The vacuum in the love of God and neighbor in

the world has to be filled up by the apostles of our time also

chosen by God himself through the Blessed Mother Mary.

These privileged and generous souls are graced with

compassionate hearts for the depressed and destitute.

Embracing God’s mission is bringing back to the world in

darkness the light of Christ through authentic love of God and

love of neighbor. Let us be God’s ambassadors of love to the

world. With our steadfast commitment to God’s mission, let

us conquer the world with love! God bless us all!
