This document outlines the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines plans for several "Years" focused on faith, the laity, and the poor from 2013-2015. It details the formation programs, seminars, and commissions that will guide reflections on key aspects of Catholic theology and social teaching during this time. In 2015, the focus will be the "Year of the Poor" with seminars held across the Philippines in February through April addressing topics like Catholic social teachings, basic ecclesial communities, and looking at Jesus with eyes of love, mercy and forgiveness. The goal is a formation program that reaches out particularly to the poor, those drifted from the Church, and youth.
