On March 1, 2025, CFC and ANCOP Regina held the Mission work for the Poor Retreat at the Holy Rosary Cathedral Basement Hall. With the set up of a Retreat, the day went smoothly with four speakers delivering their talk about the Church of the Poor to A future Full of Hope.
Pre-retreat activities were also carried out by members of CFC and ANCOP Regina for two Sundays where residents at a care home Santa Maria Senior Care Home were treated with a fun Bingo game with prizes by CFC members and leaders.
Both activities were deemed meaningful by the participants with the aim of understanding the poor and encountering Jesus through them. Sharing some comments gathered from the event:
-
“I’m glad I came today. It gave and a better realization of the state of poor not only in the Philippines but in Canada as well”.
-
“This retreat gave us practical ways to help the poor. One that we start even without money involved”.
-
”Re-commit myself to help the poor more”
-
”The pre retreat activity opened our eyes and hearts to the reality of those who need the most care”
-
”Humbling to know how blessed we are”.
-
“Recommit ourselves in supporting ANCOP Regina”.
