The Clergy of Daet – the Future of the Church!


The clergy of Daet has manifested their care and attention to the poor. They want to realize the vision of the Church in the Philippines which is to be the ‘the Church of the Poor.’ Because of this, they have made several pastoral programs in line with assisting the poor. One of the remarkable moves they have undertaken was to look into other ways of working with the poor. For this reason, they have invited Fr. Dexter Prudenciano to share his experiences in working with the urban poor of Manila. Fortunately, the priests have been very receptive duing the simple and brief sharing which departed from the ‘Third Look at Jesus’ as a way of life and from the inspiration of St. Hannibal Mary Di Francia.
