In a country where the holiday season starts in September, talking about Christmas in December makes us seem a little late for the party. But we’d like to think that we are right on
time. Because after all the decorating and shopping are done, we now have room to focus on the real reason we celebrate Christmas, when the light of the Christ Child dispelled the darkness with the hope for a new life. To help centre our minds and hearts on this, we’ve prepared a December calendar filled with inspiring events that are sure to add a bright spark to the last month of your year .

Wishing you all the best this Christmas, and may peace and love brighten up your days in the New Year!

My Pope Philippines Magazine Description:

My Pope Philippines is an adapted English version of Italian magazine, Il Mio Papa, dedicated entirely to Pope Francis.

At least 65% of the content is international and 35% is created by the local editorial team in the Philippines to feature stories highlighting the encouraging developments in the lives of Filipinos, whose values and actions reflect those that the Pope stands for, with sections on good news, inspiring stories, traditions, arts and crafts and everyday heroes.
