PHILIPPINES – 40th NATIONAL CONVENTION OF ADMA

The Association of Mary Help of Christians (ADMA) of the Philippines celebrated its 40th National Convention, held on 15th October 2022 at the National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians in Paranaque City. The theme of this year's celebration, 'ADMA, Living the Salesian Way and Serving with Love', was inspired by the commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the death of St. Francis de Sales, and urged ADMA members to continuously commit themselves to love, live and serve others, having Mother Mary as their model and guide. Fr. Nestor Impelido, SDB, former ADMA National Delegate and Spiritual Animator of the Northern Province of the Philippines (FIN), was the guest speaker.

The national conference was attended by some 200 ADMA members from eighteen (18) chapters actively present in different parts of the country. In addition, thanks to the support of Fr. Godofredo Atienza, SDB, the Salesian Family and the ADMA Delegate of the Southern Philippine Province (FIS), three (3) ADMA FIS members together with Fr. Rooney John Undar, SDB, were able to attend the National Convention.
