Dear Brother Priest, Consecrated Persons, and Lay Faithful of the Diocese of Imus,

Greetings of peace!

The Episcopal Commission for Prison Pastoral Care of the Catholic Bishop's Conference of the Philippines (ECPPC-CBCP) enjoins all parishes and communities to celebrate meaningfully the Prison Awareness Sunday on October 26, 2025 with the theme, "Our Merciful God proclaims hope for us sinners and restores dignity for persons deprive of liberty."

This is also an opportune time to intensify our spiritual and pastoral care for persons deprived of liberty(PDL). Our efforts in promoting their welfare provide hope and inspiration in their journey to conversion and renewal.

The special collections for the pastoral programs of ECPPC, which will be held in all evening masses on October 25 and Sunday masses on October 26, will be remitted to the Diocesan Finance Office at the soonest appropriate time.

I appreciate most sincerely your constant collaboration

Given at the Chancery Office, City of Imus, Cavite on the 20th of October 2025.

+REYNALDO G. EVANGELISTA, D.D.

Bishop of Imus
