The retreat weekend for Deaf Catholics in Antique, Philippines, held on May 2–4, 2025, was a deeply faith-filled and inspiring event. The Most Reverend Marvyn Maceda, Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of San Jose de Antique, graciously sponsored the retreat, offering his full support to the local Deaf Catholic community.
I had the privilege of leading Cursillo talks throughout the weekend, which helped deepen the participants’ understanding of their faith and strengthened their spiritual journey. It was truly moving to witness the participants grow in faith and community.
We are especially grateful for the partial funding provided by the generous support of both the ICDA-US Mission Fund and National Deaf Catholic leaders, which made this retreat possible. See pictures below. DeColores!!

Peace Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi:
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen
