Simbahang Lingkod ng Bayan (SLB), the socio-political apostolate of the Society of Jesus in the Philippines celebrates its 33rd Founding Anniversary on February 23 to 25, 2019 with the theme ‘Piliin ang Pag-ibig.’ Our theme mirrors SLB’s life-long commitment to accompany the Church in confronting the issues we face as a nation. SLB believes that our faith in Christ calls on to read the signs of the times and to discern a response grounded in the common good and dignity of life.
To create this space for a common discernment, we are inviting your community to be part of our anniversary weekend’s kick-off activity, the The Church Response in the National Situation: A Discernment Circle on February 23, 2019, Saturday, 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the Cardinal Sin Center, Loyola School of Theology, Ateneo de Manila University Loyola Heights campus.
This event aims:
to shed light on the current situation of the country and the historical factors that built up to this, and
to discern possible responses coming from our communities.
We have invited resource speakers, including Fr. Luciano Felloni of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, to share with us their experiences in connection to the subject at hand.
We pray for your favorable response to this invitation. Kindly email us, whether you will be able to attend or not, at slb@affiliate.ateneo.edu, on or before February 15, Friday. You may also call us at (02) 426-5968 or 426-6134 loc. 4838. Do indicate the number of those coming from your community.
