Description
- To create a feeling of community and prayer life in the heart of Cebu’s poorest neighbourhoods
- A priory dedicated to the spiritual advancement of the youth
We want Cebu to become a city where young Filipinos (52% of Filipinos are younger than 24) can grow in faith and in responsibility. We want a city where they can develop the best of themselves serving others, where they can listen to God’s voice in their lives and where they can find the light guiding them on the right path.
We want a city where there is space for communion, far away from all the obstacles that often transform us into individuals rather than community. We want a city where there is space for meeting God, where Hope brings Joy and help to those who need it. .
This future home is located in a very popular and crowded neighbourhood. Our house is meant to be both the Brothers’ living place and incorporating a place for prayer and formation, accessible to all.
In this priory, our vision can be realised: to live in a city where young people can grow in their faith, in their sense of responsibility, and where anyone is welcomed, enter into the Chapel to pray, and find a community and good instruction.
