Under this Program, financial assistance for educational purposes, including school uniforms and supplies, are provided to qualified children from the Parish.  Applicants for scholarship are selected by a Screening Committee composed of duly assigned Parish staff and Area leaders.




As part of the program, regular meetings with scholars and their parents are held.  Every third Saturday of the month, Spiritual formation activities, leadership seminars and personality development programs are being offered to the students by the Parish Education Committee, through its formator, Grace Gana.  Parents of PEAP scholars likewise benefit from these formations.   To promote camaraderie and good will among themselves and fellow parishioners, they are also encouraged to actively participate in various activities in their respective areas or in the church.






In 1986, Malate Catholic Church, through the help of ERDA Foundation Inc. Preparatory School, started an early childhood education program in the parish.  The objective of this undertaking is to assist poor families in the community who cannot afford to send their children to school.  It started with two classes, with fifteen students per class.  Three-hour sessions are held twice daily, one in the morning and another in the afternoon.  Through the years, the number of students has increased to about thirty per class.

In 1994, Malate Catholic Church through Fr. Michael Martin and the Malate Catholic School, started a community-based Nursery school which is located at Barangay 702 and Barangay 704. This program has been operating in coordination with the Area Council.  Only about 15 students were enrolled at the beginning but enrollees eventually increased to 25.





A. Pre-school for street children

In 1998, the Church of Malate opened a school for street children.  The objective is to give them free education to provide them an opportunity towards a better future.

Starting out with only 10 pupils, the school has, at present, about fifteen to twenty enrollees.  There is a challenge in maintaining this count as it has been observed that by the second half of the school year, almost half of the students no longer come to school despite frequent follow-ups by the teachers.  This program is tied up with the Open Heart Foundation which addresses and enhances the teaching skills of the teachers.

B. Scouting

In cooperation with the Boy Scouts of the Philippines, a scouting movement was established among street children  in 2008.  Under the supervision of Angel Deveza and Teacher Beth dela Cruz, the children conduct patrol meetings every Saturday afternoon.  Last summer, they held their first outdoor camping.

Started in 1994 by the parish with Divina Mabao as volunteer cook, this is held from Monday to Friday from 10:30 to 11:30 AM and every first Saturday of the month with about thirty elderly and forty children.

Mabadan scholars ages 6 to 10 years old undergo arts and reading workshops during the summer vacation.  This is held Mondays to Fridays in the month of April at the RTC.

E. Mayflower Offering

Street children participate in the mayflower activities during the entire month of May.  Activities include catechism and recitation of the Holy Rosary.




Every third Saturday of the month, parish volunteers, together with a priest, visit the Bicutan Correctional Facility.  The visit is highlighted by a Eucharistic celebration attended by the inmates and jail personnel.  Food items and other basic needs like toiletries are distributed to the inmates during these monthly visits.   Volunteers also assist them in contacting their families.







In coordination with Manila Manpower of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, the parish offers livelihood/vocational courses.  Four to five courses are offered every year to members of the community seeking to acquire new skills that will provide them opportunities for livelihood or employment.





Courses offered include:

Aromatherapy/Reflexology, Hair-cutting, Hotel and Restaurant Management Service and Cooking/Food processing.

  A. Youth Encounter (YE)   

A three-day Scripture-based formation program that deals with one’s basic relationship with God, others, oneself and life situations,  it seeks to make the Word of God fully alive, vibrant and relevant in the lives of the young people.  It is also a journey with Christ and His Paschal Mystery, from blindness to light, from being a crowd to being a community, from rejection to affirmation, and from hatred to love.  It promotes Christian Community Living and it is a process of growth that leads to a deeper Christian commitment.

B. Youth Experience of Ecozoic Living and Learning (YELL)

This is a three-day workshop that promotes our interconnectedness with God’s whole creation and instills our role as God’s stewards.

C. Film Viewing

Since the second half of 2009, the youth of the Parish has been attending a monthly formation which is mainly being done through the Film medium.  After watching a particular movie, a group processing ensues where questions and issues are discussed and addressed.  Some values and lessons are hoped to be learned in this exercise.
