It has come to our attention that well-meaning messages
have been circulating in the social media and chat groups about our products
being sold in our Quezon City convent and elsewhere. We are very grateful for
the public's support to us in this time of crisis. For this reason, we wish to
clarify and inform the public of the facts.
We have three convents with economic justice ministries
and their main products include ube jam and other pastries:
GOOD
SHEPHERD BAGUIO (Mountain Maid Training Center)
All products are not available as the production has
ceased since the lock down of Baguio City. Only few student workers are now in
the center. Planning for the resumption of operation is on-going. Please wait
for further announcement.
GOOD
SHEPHERD TAGAYTAY (Bahay Pastulan)
Bahay Pastulan chiefly supports women, especially
mothers and trafficking victims. Their work has been affected by the Taal
eruption and the ECQ. It is operating at a reduced scale in adherence to
government guidelines. We discourage walk-ins and personal inquiries. However,
limited offerings are available online through social enterprise platforms such
as SPEW PH (www.spew.ph).
GOOD
SHEPHERD QUEZON CITY (Aurora Blvd. cor. Katipunan Compound)
Our Euphrasian Community inside the compound produces
food products at a very small scale to support its crisis intervention center.
Currently, products are no longer available.
While it is a fact that many of our economic justice
program participants (beneficiaries) are affected, our shelters all around the
country remain open to care for children and women who are victims of gender
and sexual exploitation.
One of our schools, St. Bridget School of Quezon City,
is now home to frontliners from a public hospital. We are proud of our
Bridgetine students, parents, alumni, and friends for supporting this
initiative. If you wish to support this work, please send us an email at
smeidfi12@gmail.com.
Again, our heartfelt gratitude to all. In prayer and
solidarity, let us implore the Good Shepherd for an end to this pandemic and work
towards a more just society for all. — with St. Bridget School, Quezon City.
