7TH GASA NI PEDRO | As a concrete expression of charity and solidarity during the holy season of Advent, around 264 beneficiaries availed of the free medical, dental, cervical checkup, surgical, grooming and other services offered during the 7th GASA ni Pedro Outreach Program, held on December 13, 2025, at Saint Joseph Chapel, Green Valley Subdivision, East Capitol Hills, Capitol Site, Cebu City, under the Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Parish. In addition, 300 families received GASA Bags containing food and other essential goods.

This outreach activity is part of the Shrine’s continuing mission to reach out to the poor and vulnerable, especially during Advent—a season that calls us to prepare for the coming of Christ by making His love present through acts of service, compassion, and generosity.

A total of 167 volunteers were mobilized to serve and assist throughout the program. Various services were made available, including medical consultations, dental extractions, minor surgical procedures, grooming services, cervical and breast cancer screening, as well as the distribution of GASA Bags to indigent families.

GASA ni Pedro is a joint program of the Cebu Archdiocesan Shrine of Saint Pedro Calungsod and the Archdiocese of Toronto, reflecting a shared commitment to missionary outreach and service to the poor.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our partners and collaborators who made this Advent outreach possible: the Archdiocese of Toronto, Our Lady of Fatima Spiritual Pastoral Formation Year House, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Parish, and all our dedicated volunteers who generously shared their time, skills, and resources. Through their service, the spirit of Advent was truly lived—bringing hope, healing, and joy to our brothers and sisters in need.

Blessed Christmas @everyone

Sharing with you the Belen 2025 of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Tagaytay City. The entire Parish is decorated using indegenous materials with bamboo as the main material. Mary and Joseph was clothed with our traditional clothing. Avel Bacudio, fashion icon of international renown dresses up the image of our Blessed Mother in native attire in this year’s nativity scene in the parish. This belen is a symbol of faith, simplicity, and Filipino devotion, this year’s Belen beautifully reflects our indigenous roots and Filipino spirit of Christmas.

Crafted with native materials and heartfelt reverence, it reminds us that Christ chooses to dwell among us — in our humble homes and genuine love for one another.
