The Commission on Prison Pastoral Care (CPPC) of the Archdiocese of Lipa, together with the Volunteers in Prison Service (VIPS) of the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, Batangas City, and in partnership with Sta. Rita de Cascia Parish, St. James the Greater Parish, and San Isidro Labrador Parish, held its 3rd location celebration of the 38th Prison Awareness Sunday at Batangas Provincial Jail, Ibaan, Malaanin, on October 26, 2025.
We reflected on the beautiful reminder from the homily of Rev. Fr. Gerald Macalinao:
PDL
Panginoon ay Diyos ng Lahat
Panginoon Diyos ay Lapitan
Panginoon ay Dapat Lapitan
Let us continue to pray for our brothers and sisters deprived of libertym that they may always feel the hope, mercy, and embrace of a God who never abandons.
May our hearts be moved with compassion as we remember that our merciful God proclaims hope for us sinners and restores human dignity, even behind prison walls.
Be a Volunteer in Prison Service (VIPS) and together, let us work for justice that heals and restores.
