St. Lorenzo Ruiz Catholic Parish Community St. Lorenzo Ruiz Catholic Parish Community “Where Earth meets Heaven” Our Mission Statement As a welcoming community, we celebrate our life, conscious of our multi-ethnic traditions, vowing unity with Christ in our multi-cultural differences. We usher in our lives (being evangelized) and proclaim (as evangelizers) the reign of God as Priests, Prophets and Kings, and in so doing, we celebrate our discipleship in Christ Jesus. We extol “being Church” through the formation of Small Faith Communities as a way of life in being priests, prophets and kings; thus, we become economically stable and self-reliant as we give special attention and solicitude to our youth and the needy. “They were faithful to the teaching of the apostles, the common life of sharing, the breaking of bread and the prayers.” (Acts 2:42) A message from Fr.

  • 2005 Annual Regional Economic Situationer (ARES)
    . CAGAYAN VALLEY ANNUAL REGIONAL ECONOMIC SITUATIONER (ARES) 2005 ASSESSMENT OF ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE Economic adversities and natural calamities pulled back the economic performance of Region 02 in the year 2005 as all the major sectors of the regional economy registered setbacks. Specifically, the decreases were recorded in agricultural production, tourism, air transport industry, and investments generated. The prolonged dry spell coupled with floods brought by typhoon “Labuyo” exacted a heavy toll on agriculture sector. While there were government measures implemented to boost production of palay, corn and other crops such as the usage of high-yielding and certified seeds, this was not enough to restrain the impact of the fortuitous weather conditions occurring in the region. Nonetheless, fishery production stepped up by 9.34 percent owing to the improvements in municipal fishing and significant gains in aquaculture. As a consequence of these natural calamities and the VAT law, inflation rate in the region went up to 6.88 percent. Inflation rate on food items increased as the weather took its toll on the supplies of these commodities. Likewise, prices of dairy products went up pulled by the implementation of the VAT which directly affects this type of food groups (processed and canned goods). The rise in the crude oil prices and the implementation of VAT, led also to the increases in transport fares, water and electricity tariffs. Related to the slide in agricultural production and increase in prices, investments generated in the region reflected a dormant performance as it barely grew by 0.86 percent. This decline was evident in all the three sectors, the Services sector having the biggest number of workers laid off during the year.

  • Focus on Asia)
    HOW DOES THE CATHOLIC CHURCH DEAL WITH THE NEW RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS IN A CONSTRUCTIVE WAY? (FOCUS ON ASIA) John Mansford Prior, SVD* The question posed in the title can be answered only after we grasp the phenomenon we are facing. So let us begin with some basic data. DIVERGENT PATTERNS Pentecostalism has set its stoutest roots among Asian ethnic minorities and social classes which lack political or ideological power.1 Five Asian countries are witnessing the fastest growth of Pentecostalism as a grassroots movement and where, with one exception, there are significant numbers of Catholic charismatics, namely China, South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia and India. The greatest increase is found in South Korea, Indonesia and the Philippines.2 PENTECOSTAL MOVEMENTS IN ASIA3 Classic Pentecostals4 Mainline Churches Neo-Pentecostals China 47,686 (0%) 629,491 (1%) 53.6 m. (99%) = 54.3 m. India 1.3 m. (4%) 5 m. (15%) 27.2 m. (81%) = 33.5 m. Philippines 765,813 (4%) 11.7 m. (58%) 7.6 m. (38%) = 20 m. Indonesia 1.4 m. (15%) 971,415 (10%) 7 m. (75%) = 9.5 m. S. Korea 2.4 m. (32%) 2 m. (27%) 3.2 m. (42%) = 7.6 m. Vietnam 51,101 (7%) 157,802 (20%) 588,097 (74%) = 798,000 1 Jungja Ma outlines critical social issues that form the context for Pentecostal mission and contemporary social challenges (Ma and Ma 2003, 185-193). As the religious movement moves into politics so this aspect will change. 2 A switch of allegiance is not the only option; many permutations are available.
