We look forward with gratitude and joy to March 16, 2021, the fifth centenary of the coming of
Christianity to our beloved land. We remember with thanksgiving the first Mass celebrated on
Limasawa Island on Easter Sunday March 31 that same blessed year. We remember the baptism
of Rajah Humabon who was given his Christian name Carlos and his wife Harah Amihan who
was baptized Juana in 1521. Our eyes gaze on the Santo Niño de Cebu, the oldest religious icon
in the Philippines, gift of Ferdinand Magellan to the first Filipino Catholics that same year.
Indeed 2021 will be a year of great jubilee for the Church in the Philippines.
We shall, therefore, embark on a nine-year spiritual journey that will culminate with the great
jubilee of 2021. It is a grace-filled event of blessings for the Church starting October 21, 2012
until March 16, 2021.
All the succeeding events are bound together by the themes of “faith” and “evangelization”.
Evangelization is the proclamation, witness and transmission of the Gospel given to humanity
by our Lord Jesus Christ. It is the opening up of people’s lives, society, culture and history to
the Person of Jesus Christ and to His living community, the Church. The mission of all of us
who are called to take part in the “New Evangelization” is the Church’s own essential mission,
as it was the mission of Jesus Himself also.
Year 2020: Ecumenism and Inter-Religious Dialogue. Different faiths and religions are a
formidable challenge to a nation that strives to be a community, a human family, a unity in
diversity. This year will be devoted to exploring new ways of being community through
ecumenical and inter-religious relationships and action. Caritas in veritate, open, honest,
respectful – loving – dialogue of life, prayer and action is the only way towards community. At
stake are the great values of peace and harmony, particularly in areas of armed conflict,
solidarity in the struggle for social change, unity in healing social ills, integrity and social justice
in our land.
1. We will follow the Pre-registration procedures for our renewal / on-going formation.

Coordinator
The Archdiocesan Liturgical Commission will not entertain any participants whose
names are not included in the recommendation letter prior to the signing of the parish
priest. We shall not also allow ministry coordinators to add participants’ names in the
recommendation on the day of the formation since they are given ample time to
complete the list and accomplish the letter.

recommended that you attend the seminar assigned to your vicariate.
