400,000 Urban Poor Families Tinulungan ng Caritas

Aabot na sa P400 milyon o 400-libong urban poor families ang nabigyan ng gift certificates sa pamamagitan nang pakikipagtulungan ng mga negosyante sa Caritas Manila.

Ayon kay Fr. Anton CT Pascual, executive director ng Caritas Manila, ang mga gift certificate ay magagamit ng bawat pamilya para sa kanilang pangunahing pangangailangan lalu’t marami ang walang hanapbuhay dahil sa umiiral na ‘enhanced community quarantine’.

Unang nakalikom ng P1.5-bilyon ang top 20 business group sa Metro Manila na bahagi ng Philippine Disaster Resilience Roundation para magbahagi ng tulong sa urban poor community o ang Project Ugnayan.

“Tayo ay ginamit ng mga kumpanya para makapag-distribute ng mga gift certificates, ito ay mas mabilis na puwedeng gamitin. Kasi P1,000 bawat poor family na ating ipamumudmod sa bawat Parokya,” ayon kay Fr. Pascual.

Ayon kay Fr. Pascual, kabilang sa mga benepisyaryo ang 10 diyosesis sa Metro Manila kabilang na ang Diyosesis ng Bulacan, Antipolo, Laguna at Imus.

At bilang pagtugon sa social distancing policy, pinapayuhan ang mga benepisyaryo na hintayin na lamang sa kanilang tahanan ang mga parish priest sa kanilang Parokya.

“Kasi mahalaga na manatili ang ating physical distancing. At ang mga mahihirap ay hindi na kinakailangan na pumila. Hindi na nila kailangan pumunta sa simbahan. Ang simbahan ang pupunta sa kanila,” ayon kay Fr. Pascual.

Tinatayang may 50 milyong katao sa buong Luzon ang naapektuhan ng pinapairal na community quarantine kabilang na dito ang higit sa limang milyong manggagawa sa Metro Manila.

INC™ Invaded the Vatican and Waved INC™ Flag at the Papal Palace Window

[The title was just a sarcasm. That flag isn't belonging to the Iglesia Ni Cristo® a church founded by Mr. Felix Y. Manalo in the Philippines in 1914. Although some members use the same symbol in many occasions as their identity symbol but that's the ITALIAN FLAG!]


Italian Bishops Conference donates ten million Euro to Caritas Italy

The major donation, is aimed at supporting the diocesan Caritas in their work to support people in difficulty due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

The Italian Bishops Conference said in a statement the 10 million Euro donation will be distributed to the 220 diocesan Caritas throughout Italy.

The donation will be used to identify the most urgent needs, giving priority to forms of economic support for families already in situations of hardship. This includes the purchase of basic necessities for families and people in difficulty, support for lonely elderly and frail people, and the maintenance of services for people in situations of extreme poverty, such as canteens with take-away services or sheltered dormitories.

The director of Caritas Italy, Fr Francesco Soddu said, "this extraordinary donation from the Italian Episcopal Conference (IEC) is a concrete sign of hope and comfort for the diocesan Caritas (network). In this way, the local Churches will be able to continue the strong dynamism of charity".

Caritas Italy is also renewing its call for solidarity by inviting everyone to support the initiatives and work of the dioceses and local Caritas that are aiding people in difficulty and in increasingly precarious conditions.
