Bishop Pablo Virgilio David of the Philippines was elected as one of the members of the Commission of Information for the ongoing Synodal Assembly in Rome.
The leadership of the Society of Jesus, most commonly known as the Jesuits, named Father Xavier Olin as the new head of the religious order in the Philippines.
For the President of the Commission for Information of the Synodal Assembly, the Synod on Synodality this October in Rome is not only a time for dialogue but also an opportunity to pause and profoundly listen to one another.
A religious group in the Philippines has dedicated themselves to this unique advocacy: taking care of psychiatric abandoned people, and giving them a home where they are considered family.
“That is why we ask, in common prayer, to learn again to be silent: to listen to the voice of the Father, the call of Jesus and the groaning of the Spirit,” Pope Francis said.
