As the Church prepares to celebrate the 𝟰𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 (𝗡𝗠𝗦) 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, CBCP-ECMI Luzon presents a pastoral direction centered on the Vatican theme, “𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻.”

The pastoral focus and proposed activities were 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗕𝗖𝗣-𝗘𝗖𝗠𝗜 𝗟𝘂𝘇𝗼𝗻 𝗭𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟭𝟳, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, as part of the ongoing preparation and coordination for the 40th National Migrants Sunday.

𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗔𝗟 𝗙𝗢𝗖𝗨𝗦

The theme invites dioceses and parishes to move beyond simply raising awareness and develop 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀 to the realities of migrant children and families. Activities should be aligned with the 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗗𝗠𝗥, promoting 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲, 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹-𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀.

Each diocese and parish is encouraged to develop 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹, 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 according to its own pastoral realities. The five proposed activities serve as 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀, allowing local communities to adapt or develop initiatives that best respond to their circumstances.

Taken together, the five proposed activities move from 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻—giving children a voice, sharing their stories, understanding their needs, creating spaces of welcome, and walking with them and their families.

Through these directions, 𝗖𝗕𝗖𝗣-𝗘𝗖𝗠𝗜 𝗟𝘂𝘇𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁-𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲, ensuring that the celebration of the 𝟰𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 becomes more than an event, but a concrete expression of the Church’s mission to care for every child affected by migration.

Elizardo “Ed” Narag was one of the great OFW leaders of Cagayan—a pioneering migrant ministry leader in the Archdiocese of Tuguegarao, a dedicated OWWA OFW leader, and, above all, a faithful servant of the Church and the Filipino migrant community.

He was also one of the instrumental persons in the formation of the ECMI Luzon Diocesan Migration Desks Coordinating Committee (DMDCC) in Region 2, helping strengthen collaboration among dioceses and advance the pastoral care of migrants and OFWs in the region.

As an OFW himself, he understood deeply the hopes, struggles, sacrifices, and dreams of our overseas Filipino workers and their families. He devoted his life to serving and empowering them, helping bridge the Church and government in advancing the welfare and dignity of OFWs.

His service was more than leadership—it was a vocation rooted in faith, compassion, and love for people. Through his commitment to migrant ministry, he helped build a stronger culture of accompaniment and care for our OFWs and their families.

His passing leaves a space that cannot easily be filled, but his legacy of service, faith, and love for our OFWs will continue through the people he served, the lives he touched, and the mission he helped pioneer.

Thank you, Brother Ed, for a life dedicated to service. Thank you for being a faithful servant of the Church, a champion of our OFWs, and a true brother in the migrant ministry.

The CBCP-ECMI Luzon grieves the loss of a dear brother and co-worker in the mission for migrants and OFWs. We extend our deepest sympathy and prayers to his family, loved ones, and the entire migrant ministry community of the Archdiocese of Tuguegarao.

May you rest in the loving embrace of our Lord, Brother Ed. Your earthly mission has ended, but your legacy of faith, service, and love for our OFWs will live on.
