Bishop Rudy Beltran will leave for Taiwan on Saturday, 5 September 2009, to attend Spiritual Exercises organized by the Pontifical Council "Cor Unum" on 6 to 11 September 2009.
"Cor Unum" is the agency of the Holy See responsible for expressing the care of the Church towards those in need. It fosters charitable works by the faithful, assists those in urgent or calamitous situations, and those in special need of assistance. It is currently headed by Archishop Paul Josef Cordes.
This international event, to be attended by Bishops, priests, and religious, will be hosted by the Fu Jen University, the Catholic University and one of the biggest in Taiwan. Aside from the celebrations of the Mass, spiritual conferences, and prayers which are part of a regular Spiritual Exercises, "there will be an opportunity for small group dialogues, sharing, and a forum for questions," says Bishop Rudy. And this is where the Bishop is particularly interested in joining. "After all, this occasion is free of charge," he adds. Expenses of participants coming from poor churches are reimbursed by the Pontifical Council.
The Bishop has been in Belwang, Sadanga on the weekend to bless the new Chapel and administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to the faithful there. On Sunday, he presided over the morning Mass and Harvest festival in Bontoc. From there he proceeded to attend the installation of Bishop Jose Romeo Lazo in the Diocese of San Jose Antique on 1 September 2009. On Friday, 4 September 2009, he will be the main celebrant at a Marian Novena Mass in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig on the invitation of Bishop Tumulak and its parish priest Fr. Daniel Tansip.
