Opus Dei

The Center for Industrial Technology and Enterprise (CITE) established in February 1990 provides training in technical skills, entrepreneurship and values formation to young men in the Visayas and Mindanao.

Banilad prepares young women for employment or entrepreneurship through skills training and work ethics.

The central personality of the gathering in the SMX Convention Center on July 29 was the Prelate of Opus Dei, Bishop Javier Echevarría, on his way back to Rome from Sydney, where he accompanied the Pope for the World Youth Day.

The subliminal message I fished out from the pastoral visit of the Prelate of Opus Dei was that loving others in order to know and love God necessarily involves self-giving and sacrifice. No sacrifice, no love. No love, no God. This is what I saw in the Prelate.

The Center for Industrial Technology and Enterprise (CITE) was established in Cebu City, Philippines in February 1990. It is an institution committed to provide training in technical skills and entrepreneurship, values formation, and social services to the less privileged youth, their families, the local community and the industrial sector of Visayas and Mindanao.

Bishop Javier Echevarría spoke these words in Rome on August 7 as the tribunal of the Prelature of Opus Dei closed the introductory phase of the Cause of Canonization for Bishop Álvaro del Portillo, first successor of St. Josemaría.

Following the Holy Father, the Prelate invites us to consider St. Paul's teachings and draw practical consequences for our lives: "Who is Paul? What does he say to me?"

Love and respect one another. This was Saint Paul's advice to married people. The theologian Carla Rossi speaks about the Apostle's teachings on matrimony in the second video offered by the Opus Dei website for the Pauline year.

Bishop Javier Echeverría, Prelate of Opus Dei, visited the Philippines from July 27 to August 1. He made the visit to be with the members of Opus Dei in the Philippines, their families and friends.

Bishop Javier Echevarría, the Prelate of Opus Dei, met with more than 10,000 members of Opus Dei, their families and friends at an hour-long get-together at the SMX Convention Center on July 29. He had arrived from Sydney on July 27 for a five-day pastoral visit to the Philippines.
