Archbishop Socrates Villegas of Lingayen-Dagupan in northern Philippines has encouraged Catholics to consider organ donation as an act of Christian charity and a witness to the Gospel, describing it as “a gift of ourselves so others may live.”
Fifty-two people pledged to donate their organs at an awareness program held on March 29, the Palms Sunday, at Sevvapet parish of the archdiocese of Madras-Mylapore, marking Church’s concern about promoting organ donation in southern India.
