FIESTA 2008:Spirituality. Mission. Ministry.


The formation program of the Archdiocese of Manila for this year is a deepening of the MAGPAS formation on the Vision Statement. It is best captured by the three words which we shall also use as the theme of this year's fiesta celebration: spirituality, mission and ministry. Actually we are now on the 5th day of our novena masses and so this posting is quite late already. Anyway, people might still want to know the sub-themes and the presiders for this year's novena masses.
