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

Greetings of Peace!

The Feast of the Santo Niño will be held on Sunday, January 18, 2026.

On this occasion, we are also encouraged to support the charitable works of the PONTIFICAL SOCIETY OF THE HOLY CHILDHOOD. 

Throughout the years, this pontifical society has been actively involved in fostering support and care for children worldwide. This message conveyed by the late Holy Father Pope Francis resonates deeply with our enduring commitment and care for all children.

                        The Church  offers her maternal care to all children and their families and she brings them the blessing of

                                                  Jesus. May we always care for our children, without counting the cost,

                         so that they may never believe themselves to be mistakes, but always known their infinite worth.

I enjoin all parishes, religious, and Christian communities to offer prayers and financial support for the apostolic works of the Pontifical Society of the Holy Childhood. Special collections will be held during anticipated and Sunday masses. Kindly remit the collections to the Diocesan Finance Office as soon as possible.

May the Feast of the Santo Niño instill in us the grace of service and charity.

Given at the Chancery Office, City of Imus, Cavite on the 7th of January 2026. 

+REYNALDO G. EVANGELISTA, D.D.
