The Daughters of St. Paul reached out to more than 1,000 people who were badly affected by typhoon Ondoy and gave them joy as they distributed Christmas gifts on December 22, 2009 at the Daughters of St. Paul compund, Pasay City. Each package contained rice, canned goods, noodles, coffee, juice and biscuits. The recipients came from Bulacan, Pasay, Marikina and Taytay.
Prior to gift-giving, Sr. Maricor Mercurio, FSP shared a reflection on the meaning of Christmas, while Sr. Mennnen Alarcon, FSP gave a short catechesis to the children with action songs. The people were very grateful to the Sisters for the gifts and for the catechesis given to them.
This project was a joint reach-out of the Italian Bishops’ Conference (CEI) and the Daughters of St. Paul.
