Bishop Mylo Hubert Vergara

Bishop Mylo Hubert Vergara of Pasig, Philippines has called on Church leaders across Asia to remain faithful to the synodal journey, reminding them that synodality must not be reduced to a mere slogan or short-lived program.

“A synodal leadership means walking with the people as Jesus did,” said Archbishop Charles Brown, Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines, in his homily during the episcopal ordination and installation of Ronald Anthony Timoner as the new bishop of the Diocese of Pagadian on August 13.

The new bishop of the Diocese of San Pablo in the Philippines invited the faithful to join him down the path of holiness toward Christ.

“With this circular letter, I invite all the People of God in the Diocese of Pasig to participate in the tedious process of bringing to light the life and heroic virtues of a legendary catechist to sainthood,” said Pasig Bishop Mylo

The CBCP Cluster Against Human Trafficking (CCAHT) hopes the annual NDPAHT will help heighten the consciousness of faith communities on the issue “and will encourage them to protect their respective families, particularly women and children, against trafficking.”
