Spirituality on Stewardship seminar opens in Tagaytay

A conference on the Spirituality of Stewardship titled “Journey to Interwovenness—A Cross-Cultural Sharing of Stewardship Experiences Towards Becoming A Community of Disciples, a Church of the Poor” will be held in Tagaytay City on February 9-12.

Over a hundred participants composed of bishops, priests and laity will participate in the 4-day seminar.

Resource persons include Fr. Andrew Kemberling, Pastor of St. Thomas More Parish, Denver, Colorado, together with Ms. Mila Glodava, Ms. Irene Lindemer, Mr. Philip Lindemer and Ms. Sharon Hueckel of Our Lady of the Assumption Parish, Claremont, California.

Convened by Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) President Archbishop Angel Lagdameo, the event is a platform where practitioners of the Spirituality of Stewardship can learn from each other’s practices.

Bishop Julio Labayen, OCD, will act as Conference Secretary while Bishop Broderick Pabillo will be the Moderator of the event.

A corollary seminar will be given to CBCP Commissions’ Executive Secretaries on February 13.

The Tagaytay conference is the sixth in a series of gatherings on the Spirituality of Stewardship, made possible by the partnership of the St. Thomas More Parish and the Socio-Pastoral Institute.

Cebu was the site of the 2003 conference; Pius XII in Manila in 2005; Lucena in 2006; and practitioners gathered twice in Tagaytay in 2008.
