Join
the FMU!!!
and help make a difference...
...in the lives
of others,
...and
yours, too!
There
are no rigid qualifications
necessary
to be an FMU member.
The
FMU Statutes says:
“…The sole condition for membership
is the intention of sharing in
and supporting
the Missionary Evangelization
by the Friars Minor.”
In other words,
all that is needed
is the willingness
to share a little of oneself
for the Franciscan Missions,
together with others
who share the same vision.

An Appeal Letter from Balo-i
Dear Fr. Ting,
Peace and Good Being!
The San Vicenter Ferrer Quasi-Parish in Balo-i has 288 Christian families. For almost 22 years, the Franciscan
Friars were constant and very dedicated in their mission of Dialogue with our Muslim brothers and sisters for peace and reconcilliation.
Simultaneously, they also administer the quasi-parish of San Vicente Ferrer through the BEC program. At present, we
have 14 GSK dells (Gagmay Kristohanong Katilingban), but we have only one Bible for every cell.
Through GSK, the community is strengthened in faith and the members widen their knowledge about the Word of God.
However, most of them are poor farmers, laborers and vendors and cannot afford to have their own individual Bibles for
use during the Bible study and sharings. We do not have yet also Bibles for use during Catechism for children.
Through your office, as BEC-DLF coordinator of SVFQP, I am appealing for dinancial help that we may be able to
purchase the number of Bibles we need. OUr dream is for every home to have a Bible in the Visayan language. For
this we need some Forty thousand pesos (Php40,000.00).
thank you very much and may the good Lord continually bless us all and our ministry of spreading the good news
of salvation to all humankind.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Miss Gemma Macas
BEC-DLF Coordinator
