During this love month season, we give joy and love to children. Last 𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟭, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, the 𝗨𝗜𝗖 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 gathered at 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 for the "𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗿: 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵, 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲" 𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. It was a beautiful day of fellowship as we continued our mission of bringing the Word of God closer to the hearts of the little ones. 🤍🙏

We sailed through a sea of joy with our Noah’s Ark storytelling, bringing God’s promises to life through singing, dancing, and fun games that filled the park with laughter! To make the day even more special, we shared practical gifts of love by distributing slippers and school supplies to gear the children up for their journey ahead. 💖

Seeing the bright smiles on their faces was a powerful reminder that the simplest acts of service can reflect the greatest kind of love. We are beyond grateful to everyone who helped make this second session a success and for allowing us to be vessels of faith this Love Month. 🙌⛪️✨

On 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, the 𝗨𝗜𝗖 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 successfully conducted its first "𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗿: 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵, 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲" session at Magsaysay Park. In this holy season of giving, our volunteers found profound joy in gathering the children residing in the park for an afternoon of spiritual fellowship.

Reflecting the true essence of Christmas—God’s relentless search for us through the birth of Jesus—we shared the Parable of the Lost Sheep. It was a beautiful opportunity to remind these little ones that they are deeply loved, and precious in the eyes of the Good Shepherd. 📖❤️

The mission continued with an interactive coloring session and a simple agape, where we shared snacks and Gifts of Love with the children. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve and for the dedication of our volunteers who made this transformative encounter possible. 💛🙏

Alleluiah for He is Risen! 🌅 Let us celebrate the triumph of Christ’s resurrection—reminding us that love conquers all, and new beginnings are always possible.

Happy Easter from UIC Volunteer Catechists!

✨ALAY GASA SA KWARESMA 2025 ✨

What if the greatest gift we could give this Lent…is ourselves?

The UIC-Volunteer Catechist Club was blessed with the privilege to encounter Christ in the faces of the children of Balay Pasilungan, Davao City, last April 6, 2025 through an Outreach program.

In which one a quiet reminder of joy, hope, and resilience, may this experience remind us to keep giving with purpose, even beyond this season. 🙏

LOVE, FAITH, AND SERVICE IN ACTION✨

We, the University of Immaculate Conception-Volunteer Catechist Club, would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for the overwhelming support and success of our recent Club Fair. Special thanks to all UIC-VC Club Officers, headed by Merry Evanie Dapar, our newly elected Mayor, Regelle Anne Josol, the Vice Mayor for Catechism and Special Projects, and Bridget Dianne (Former Mayor) for the guidance. Their invaluable leadership and dedication, played a crucial role in making this event a triumph. We are also grateful to everyone who stopped by and learned about our mission. Mabuhay UIC-VC! 🙏🎉

Rise and rejoice! ✨✝️

Today's Gospel of John 20:1-9 reminds us of the awe-inspiring miracle of Easter Sunday, as Mary Magdalene discovers the empty tomb and rushes to share the good news with the disciples. In this passage, we learn the powerful lesson of unwavering faith and the transformative power of Christ's resurrection. As volunteer catechists, let us reflect on the profound message of hope and renewal that Easter brings, inspiring us to spread the light of Christ's love to others and to embrace the joy of new beginnings in our own lives.

Happy Easter Sunday! 🤍🙏🏻

It means making good use of created things: faith in God, the only One, leads us to use everything that is not God only insofar as it brings us closer to him, and to detach ourselves from it insofar as it turns us away from him:

My Lord and my God, take from me everything that distances me from you. My Lord and my God, give me everything that brings me closer to you. My Lord and my God, detach me from myself to give my all to you.
