The Philippines
By Ed and Minda Kelly
The Family Priests Movement is alive and well and there seems
to be a new spirit urging us on. New groups are forming. There
is a need to educate the people and clergy. To that end, pamphlets
and a manual are being prepared. The Manila and Bulacan groups
have held regular gatherings, and the Regional Conference was
held at Dumaguete in April with the theme "Strengthening
the bond that unites the married priests and their families in
the region". The hospitality of the Dumaguete group was
overwhelming. We had a solemn Agape. Saturday was spent at the
beach where Governor Arnaiz and Congressman Macias joined us.
The five year plan adopted aims at mutual co-operation and a
Christ-centered family spirit.
