Mission Ministry
When Rev. Fr. Glenn was appointed mission secretary of the SVD central province, 2 or 3 years ago, he asked the community during the Marian Festival, if HJM would like to become a lay partner of SVD. The community accepted. In 2019, the mission secretaries of Asia-Pacific region, held a workshop for the Asia-Pacific zone. Irene and I were tasked by the board to attend this workshop as HJM representative. The workshop was held for one week, from November 18 -25, 2019 at the society of the divine word institute of missions (dwims) in Tagaytay city. Other participants were delegates from Hongkong, Vietnam, Australia, Indonesia, Timor Leste, New Guinea, India, and the North, Central and South provinces of the Philippines. Especial guest of the workshop was Fr. Lazar, Secretary General of Mission from Rome. Facilitator / conference moderator was Fr. Tony Pernia, 2-time Superior General of SVD. In December of that year, I presented to the BSL a proposal to create a mission ministry. This proposal was finally approved by the board in January 2020. An orientation seminar was planned on February 2020 at the Christ the King Seminary but did not pushed through because of the pandemic.
