Pinangunahan ni Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines Archbishop Charles John Brown, D.D., CBCP President Kalookan Bishop Pablo Virgilio David at katuwang si out-going Caritas Philippines President Kidapawan Bishop Jose Colin Bagaforo at Imus Bishop Rey Evagelista, ang pagbabasbas sa bagong Mother of Grace Convention Center sa CBCP Caritas Philippines Development Center sa Tagaytay City nitong October 14, 2025.
Ang bagong gusali ay sumasagisag sa panibagong yugto ng misyon ng Caritas Philippines bilang humanitarian, development, at advocacy arm ng Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).
Layunin ng Mother of Grace Convention Center na maging sentro ng pagkakaisa, pagninilay, at pakikipag-ugnayan, kung saan gaganapin ang mga malalaking pagtitipon gaya ng synodal at pastoral gatherings na magpapatibay sa diwa ng sabay-sabay na paglalakbay ng sambayanang Katoliko sa pananampalataya at paglilingkod.
“The Mother of Grace Convention Center marks a new chapter in the mission of Caritas Philippines as the humanitarian, development, and advocacy arm of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP). Conceived as a space for inspiring communion, meaningful dialogue, and dynamic collaboration, the Center will host major synodal and pastoral gatherings that strengthen the Church’s commitment to journeying together in faith and service.” pahayag ng Caritas Philippines sa Radyo Veritas
Bilang bahagi ng Seven Legacy Programs at pinalawak na Alay Kapwa initiative, magsisilbi rin ang Mother of Grace Convention Center bilang resource hub upang higit na masuportahan ang mga social action at humanitarian works ng Simbahan sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng bansa.
Ayon sa Caritas Philippines, ang pagtatatag ng Mother of Grace Convention Center ay isa ring patotoo sa patuloy na misyon ng Simbahan na pagsasabuhay ng pananampalataya sa pamamagitan ng malasakit, pagkakaisa, at pag-asa.
“As part of the Seven Legacy Programs and the expanded Alay Kapwa initiative, the Center will also serve as a resource hub, helping sustain the Church’s social action and humanitarian work across the country. This milestone stands as a testament to the Church’s enduring mission — to bring faith to life through compassion, unity, and hope.” Paglilinaw ng Caritas Philippines.
