THE GREAT
ASIAN
MISSION.
Serve in the Philippines. Encounter Christ through missionary service, friendship, prayer, and the joy of bringing His love to others.
A mission that changes hearts.
The Philippines is a country rich in faith, family, hospitality, and Catholic tradition. But this journey is about more than discovering another culture.
It is about encountering Jesus Christ in the people we serve, learning to give ourselves generously, and discovering what it means to be an apostle.
Together with the Regnum Christi family in the Philippines, we will share the Gospel through service, friendship, prayer, and missionary outreach.
Serve. Encounter. Grow.
Missionary Outreach
Step outside your comfort zone and bring the love of Christ to communities through rural and city missions.
One Spiritual Family
Meet members of Regnum Christi in the Philippines and discover the beauty of a shared charism across cultures.
Faith in Action
Experience prayer, Mass, community, friendship, and the challenge of living your faith with missionary courage.
Eight days of mission. A lifetime of impact.
July 23 – August 1, 2027
Our journey begins in Manila and continues into communities outside the city for several days of missionary outreach.
We then return to Manila for additional mission activities, prayer, and a special encounter with the Regnum Christi family.
Whether this is your first mission trip or one of many, come ready to serve, to learn, and to allow Christ to surprise you.
