    Posted by Fr. Stephen, MSC Nov29
    Father, you are a loving God. We pray for those who have died in the Maguindanao massacre. We pray that you may carry their souls to a place of no pain - to heaven where there is only joy and comfort. We also pray for the loved ones they have left behind. Heal their broken hearts, Compassionate Father, and give them strength in their despair. We also include in our prayer those who have been wounded physically, emotionally and spiritually - may they become whole again and their trust in others r... more »

    Posted by Fr. Stephen, MSC Nov28
    I've just received an email telling me that "Dear Peace", a video documentary I directed and edited recently won the SIGNIS-WACC Human Rights Award 2009.

  • The Importance of a Well-Designed Parish Website
    Posted by Fr. Stephen, MSC Nov27
    A parish website is an online identity of a parish. Its primary purpose is to spread God's Word and update people about the goings-on in the parish. It is a gateway to allow both parishioners and non-parishioners to get to know your parish more and to encourage them to participate in your activities. I've been googling Philippine parish websites these past few days to display them in the CatholicSites.ph directory and, to my dismay, I found out that many of them are poorly-designed and poorly... more »

  • Twilight Saga – New Moon: What Christian Film Reviewers Say
    Posted by Fr. Stephen, MSC Nov25
    There is no telling when the Twilight-mania is going to stop. The latest internet buzz is the allegation that the Vatican condemns the movie. These news reports are misleading, first, because Monsignor Franco Perazzolo only expresses his concern over the moral impact of the movie (he does not condemn it nor ask others not to watch it), and second, because the opinion of the Monsignor is not an official Vatican review of the film. He might be a Vatican official but he is not the Vatican. His is b... more »
  • 12 Catholic Movie Review Sites
    Posted by Fr. Stephen, MSC Nov24
    The Catholic Church's attitudes towards the cinema has always been one of esteem and interest. Films can illumine the Word of God and faith can reveal values in films. Both pulpit and screen are means of spreading God's Word and helping people become better versions of themselves.

    Posted by Fr. Stephen, MSC Nov18

Manny is, no doubt, a great boxer. But let us not forget that the "Fighting Pride of the Philippines" also lost three fights. And two the... more »
