Through the generosity of our supporters, the Filipino Caucus was able to offer the following programs this past year:
- Faith Festival held on April 10 at First UMC National City broke our two-year isolation from each other due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
- Philippine Fiesta in celebration of Philippine culture and independence on June 12 at Santa Ana UMC
- “Pasasalamat” in celebration of the Caucus’ 50th anniversary on November 20, 2022, at Santa Ana UMC
- Christmas Institute winter youth retreat on December 17, 2022, at First UMC Wilmington
- Philippine Mission on February 10-12, 2023, for the dedication of the new sanctuary of Balingog East UMC in Guimba, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. The mission was funded by a Filipino Caucus grant of $15,000 and also included a revival service, medical clinic, school supplies and slippers give-away, sanitation project (10 communal toilets constructed in the community for the benefit of 100 families), and groceries give-away.
