From 7 September until 8 October 2018 the brother participants of the Preparation for Final Vows went through an Immersion Program in the Philippines. There were two groups being sent to the two parishes of SSCC mission; one to Bagong Silang and the other to Bagbag. Both are located in the Diocese of Novaliches. After two weeks the groups exchanged locations.
The program gives a firsthand experience of poverty in our midst. For one full month, the brothers lived their lives with the simple families, listening to their stories, sharing their food, praying together in hope. It was time of immersion into the hard reality of disparity in our time.
