Communion with Others is a broad concept that embraces the vast spectrum of the cultural and religious diversity of God’s people through dialogue and witness of life. Today more than ever, our mission is increasingly taking the form of dialogue, encounter and collaboration. Our 14th General Chapter Directions puts it this way:

We are called to join hands with all those who are inspired by the same Spirit, such as our lay partners in mission and those who belong to other organizations, cultures and religions.

• We respect the distinct vocation of our lay partners and engage in mutual discernment and decision-making for the sake of the mission.
• We network with other organizations and widen the circle of collaboration and friendship.
• We reverently enter into a dialogue of life and action with people of other beliefs.
• We creatively and responsibly use social media and modern technology to share the Good News of God’s love.

The Theme for this year is: Building Bridges of Friendship. We are beginning the year on the Solemnity of the Epiphany 2018 – even though it is celebrated on a different date in some Oriental Churches- because of its universal appeal as the celebration God’s revelation to all people. In a similar manner we will close the year on 25 January 2019 because it marks the close of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.

In this page we will be sharing some general orientations, Pentecost novena, resources, links, articles and multimedia materials from the provinces, regions and communities.  We  look forward to your interest and contributions during this year.  

Together let us move toward Communion with Others, Building Bridges of Friendship.
