JANUARY 2009: Homes for the Homeless


A Church truly alive is manifested not only in lively liturgical/sacramen tal celebrations, but also in the alleviation of the poor from dehumanizing situations. The community of Phase 2, E. Rodriguez St., Malibay, Pasay City were blessed with 56 housing units last January 11, 2009. The occasion was graced with the presence of Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales and the Papal Nuncio, Archbishop Edward Adams. Truly, homes for the homeless are Kingdom blessings for which we praise and thank God who hears the cry of the poor.
