BENEFICIARIES
One is the Singles Encounter Weekend Retreat – a retreat aimed to give individuals a personal encounter with God. I’ve had several friends who’ve tried this and they really seemed like they gained a lot from the experience.
The second beneficiary is Sitio Espeleta, Muntinlupa – a community of relocated informal settlers that is in great need of generosity and support.
“Saint James Renewal Movement has adopted Sitio Espeleta Pantalan, in Poblacion Muntinlupa City as the beneficiary of its outreach activities. It is a poor community adjacent to Laguna de Bay and under normal condition, it is inundated with water four to five months in a year. Generally, homes are made of light materials and most do not have toilets. Many residents are unemployed while others work as construction workers, domestic helps and garbage sorters.”
