Alay Kapwa is a Lenten
Evangelization Action Program of the Catholic Bishop Conference of the
Philippines that is held annually in the different regions in the country. The
Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro hosted the Mindanao Region launching of the
program which was conducted on March 3 and 4, 2014.
Activities of this year’s program
include mass, lectures and visits by the participants to the different Catholic
charitable institutions in the city such as The House of Hope, The House of Joy
and The Home of the Aged. The participants also visited the house relocations
projects of the victims of Typhoon Sendong.
“One Human Family without Poverty and Hunger”, the Alay Kapwa theme for 2014 aptly describes the Catholic
Church and its faithful endeavor to help the poorest and the most unfortunate
people in the society. Jesus Christ gave up his life for the forgiveness of
our sins. Alay Kapwa somehow aims to follow his example by offering the church and the participants’
time, talent and treasure to help their needy and sick brothers and sisters.
