Christmas is a festive celebration here in the Philippines. We celebrate it for months, the decorations are all over since September. We can hear Christmas carols even before Halloween. Indeed, as a Catholic Country this is a special season. But do we all know what this celebration really means? I wish you answered the question with a YES.

I would like to share with you about Christian Life Movement (CLM) campaign every December. But first you might want to ask “What is Christian Life Movement?”. CLM is an ecclesial movement approved by His Holiness St. John Paul II in 1994, which is present around the world.

So CLM has a campaign called Christmas is Jesus (CIJ). This campaign aims to remind us that the real meaning of Christmas is Jesus.

Activities on Christmas is Jesus Campaign:

  • Christmas Parties for Kids We held Christmas Parties for Kids all over the Philippines every weekend. We give gifts to kids and teach them the real meaning of Christmas. This year our target to hold parties for 10,000 kids.
  • Boxes of Love – There boxes are Noche Buena packages for less-privileged families.
  • Carols in the Hospital – Visiting and singing Christmas songs for sick kids in the hospital.

The Schedule:
