We have HOPE that we will continue to give a powerful witness through the apostolates and ministries entrusted to us in accordance with our Salvatorian charism and Pope Francis' mandate to "go to the peripheries" and respond to the call of the poor.

We have HOPE when we look at the unwavering faith and confidence of our people in the face of all challenges, trials and crises such as typhoons, earthquakes and disasters. The Filipino people have an unshakable faith that God has something good in store for us as a nation.

We have HOPE when we see the brotherhood among the people, the courage of those who are fighting against the system of corruption and greed for power in the country. Leaders who resolutely stand up for the rights and concerns of farmers, workers and fishermen.

We have HOPE when we look at the synodality in the Philippine Church, which encourages all people to walk together, to listen to each other and to try to fulfil the will of God. We want to work together as a nation, as a people, to strengthen the Christian faith and to work for the common good.

MANILA AND CEBU • Mobile book reading program

The Book Reading Program (BRP) is one of the special programs and services provided by the Salvatorian Pastoral Care for Children (SPCC) in the parishes. The program aims to enhance children’s joy and interest in reading books and value formation. It serves as SPCC's strategic response to children’s rights to development, survival, protection, and participation, providing a venue for children to interact, express themselves, participate, and build relationships among peers.

CEBU CITY • Preschool

120 children aged 3-6 currently attend the preschool. The aim is to provide the children, most of whom come from underprivileged families, with a holistic education and to develop them according to their abilities and age. With the help of the local authorities, the Salvatorian Sisters provide assistance to socially disadvantaged families in particular by reducing the pre-school fees. Around 35-40% of families benefit from this support.

MANILA & QUEZON CITY • Puso sa Puso

The Philippines faces a significant challenge in addressing the needs of out-of-school children and youth (OSY). In Manila and Quezon City, an estimated 30% of youth are not enrolled in formal education. This alarming statistic highlights the urgent need for alternative learning pathways that cater to the unique circumstances of these individuals. Many OSY in communities like Parola and Payatas face barriers to accessing formal education.
