JULY 2013 HIGHLIGHTS

Rogate: Sustaining the Essentials in Changing Contexts. God’s faithfulness never changes. His promise of eternal wellbeing for all remains. In his time, St. Hannibal did his best to proclaim God’s unchanging faithfulness. Inspired by St. Hannibal, SHEC takes the same challenge today, especially that the Church exhorts its members to live according to the demands of the new evangelization.  

Connectivity to the Power Source. The taxing vocation of a Kingdom worker can only be sustained through connectivity to God, the Source of fresh and refreshing energy. In connection, Kingdom workers at SHEC live by the two essentials of Jesus, i.e. connectivity to God in prayer, resulting in being poured out in mission for total salvation. Accordingly, last July 1, 2013 SHEC conducted a special moment of prayer for community leaders. Indeed, they need to be empowered by God always especially that they face the challenge of being faithful to God in changing situations.

Youth Formation. A sound formation of today’s youth, it is hoped, would redound to better communities. Part of their holistic formation is to be good communicators, especially that they are called to witness to God in their day to day lives. To realize this somehow, the leaders and members of the Rogate Youth Ministry, SHEC Chapter (RYMSC) attended a seminar dubbed as “Formation in Filipino” last July 21, 2013. This is part of the youth’s weekly formation at SHEC.


Meeting with SHFC Officials. Good management is a way of exercising humanity’s vocation to be worthy stewards of God’s blessings. It is always through this principle that SHEC conducts meetings with its stakeholders. One instance was the meeting with SHFC officials last July 25, 2013. Among other things, the meeting’s purpose was to follow up the updated statement of accounts of the members of Phase 2.
