ARCDIOCESAN FORMATION OF THE LAITY

Lay Formation Center is truly the Center of Lay Formation in the Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan. Five formation programs have been held at LFC in the last few months.

In October 2006, the Biblical Apostolate held its Bible Quiz at LFC for the different families of the Archdiocese. The Commission and Auxiliary Bishop Rene Mayugba facilitated the program.

In December 2007, a Weekend Youth Seminar was held at LFC with at least 7 delegates from each of the 27 parishes of the Archdiocese. The Archbishop, Fr. Manuel Bravo and Ms. Janice Hebrom facilitated the formation.

In February 2007, Catechists from all over the Archdiocese were given Formation at the Center. The Archbishop, Fr. Antonio Quintans and the Vicariate Coordinators spearheaded the formation module.

This March, two programs will be upcoming: the Seminar-Workshop for the Family Life Apostolate units of the different parishes in the Archdiocese, under Fr. Felipe Mattias and the Commission.

The Annual Recollection of all Lay Ministers in the Archdiocese will also be held at LFC.
