Christmas gifts

The Department of Charity and Social Ministry of the Philippine-Vietnamese Diocese held an action on the eve of the Christmas holiday to distribute gifts to children from low-income families.

Bless, o Lord, the new year of Your grace

On the first day of the new year, on Sunday before Christmas, Divine Liturgies and New Year’s prayers were celebrated in the parishes of the diocese. The Orthodox Christians of the Philippines thanked the Lord for His long-suffering in the past year and asked for mercy for the coming year.
