Undercovered

Last week, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines released a Pastoral Letter for 2021, Year of Missio Ad Gentes. In this edition of Undercovered, Davao Archbishop and CBCP President Romulo Valles talks about the Pastoral Letter - and the perspective it offers - as the country counts down to our coming commemoration of 500 Years of Christianity. #500YOC

The first Mass and the first Baptism in our islands may have taken place in 1521, but it wasn’t until the arrival of the religious orders beginning in 1565 that evangelization began in earnest. Undercovered talks about Spreading the Faith in the early years of Christianity in the archipelago, in a series of conversations with the present-day brothers of those pioneering missionaries. This episode, Undercovered speaks with Fr. Tony Rosales, OFM about the work of the Franciscans. #500YOC

What process must be undertaken, before someone is named a saint? As the Philippines counts down to 500 Years of Christianity, Undercovered speaks with Fr. Samson Silloriquez, OAR - who’s been involved in a number of these processes - to find out about the Steps to Sainthood, the Causes that are already underway, and the other saints (apart from San Lorenzo Ruiz and San Pedro Calungsod) who also lived and worked among us over time.

Because some stories need to be told. A few, told more fully; or, perhaps, in a different way; if not, in another light. Welcome to conversation about some of the stuff that's just... Undercovered.
