DIOCESAN CORE VALUES/MISSION C -onversion & RenewalThe solid basis of effective evangelization and servant-leadership is conversion and renewal. Santatlo need a metanoia or change of heart from a life of sinfulness to a life of grace. From conversion must follow constant renewal to sustain conversion. (PCPII, ##271-274) U -nity in Diversity But this conversion and renewal can only be done in the context of a community of servant-leader disciples. This community is characterized by unity in diversity who draws its strenght from the Blessed Trinity. The Triune God inspires the community to be one Church, synergizing different charisms and ministries. (PCP II, ##91-94) B -eing and Becoming Amidst unity in diversity, the community grows in the spirit of communio: being the Church God wants her to be, appreciated and cared for; and becoming the Church God wants her to become, bearing fruit a hundredfold. (PCM II, Ch3, p.98). A -uthenticity and Availability Being and becoming develops our communal discipleship into authentic servant-leadership where there is sincerity in reaching out to those in need. This also means being available, especially to the poor. (PCP II, #134) O -penness & Flexibility To be authentic and available servant leaders demand being open and flexible to the "signs of the times" in order for one's service to be apt and relevant for the people served. (PCP II, #435) DIOCESAN THRUST To develop the Diocese of Cubao as an effective RESOURCE CENTER for spiritual-pastoral, socio-economic, religio-cultural, and politico-moral programs.As an effective RESOURCE CENTER, the Diocese envisions itself to serve as channels of: Spiritual programs and activities that can touchbase with and form the pastoral life of the community Social transformation to encourage the living out of social justice that will bring about the equitable distribution of goods in the church Religious popular expressions in the faith life of the community enmeshed in the experience of Filipino culture Formation programs to conscienticize the community for public involvement and service for the common good DIOCESAN PASTORAL (OR MISSION) GOALS Goal 1: RELEVANT FORMATION (Conversion and Renewal)Conversion and renewal can best be possible through rlevant formation programs and activities that SANTATLO needs to undergo so that they can be empowered and sent to effectively proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to the people entrusted to their care. Goal 2: STRENGTHENED COMMUNITY BUILDING (Unity in Diversity) Community building has to be strengthened to improve and maximize qualities of a united and diverse community of disciples whose common experience of being Church encourages her members to complement each other's charisms and gifts for greater service in the Church. Goal 3: TRANSFORMATIVE SPIRITUALITY (Being and Becoming) The community of servant-leader disciples must live a spirituality that transforms them from being chosen witnesses of the Gospel to becoming Christ-like in word and deed. Goal 4: DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICE (Authenticity and Availability) Authentic and available discipleship must b felt through a service that develops the poor from simply dependent beneficiaries to independent and interdependent servant-leaders for others. Goal 5: CONTINIOUS DISCERNMENT (Openness and Flexibility) To be open and flexible to the "signs of the times" necessitates the ongoing process of discerning the will of God for the Community of Disciples and the Church of the Poor, grounded in deep reflection and prayer. |
