What is YUPPEACE?

I write my heart, my thoughts, and my soul for my faith community -- the YUPPEACE. This is my way of witnessing to the greatness and goodness of the Lord, Jesus Christ. YUPPEACE [Young Upbeat Professionals for Peace, founded in 1994] is a community of people who used to be "wounded children" but have grown spiritually Christ-centered through various spiritual and psychological formation programs created by this community. Our spiritual director and founder is Fr. Armand Robleza, SDB, a Salesian priest. Currently, the St. John Bosco Parish in Makati is our home base where we meet every Wednesday night. Our activities, though, reach the various provinces of the Philippines. Yuppeace conducts retreats, recollections, seminars, apostolic activities, and other formation programs. If you wish to join YUPPEACE, drop by at St. John Bosco Parish Church compound in Makati at Arnaiz Avenue on any Wednesday at 7:00 PM. You'll find us at the AVR, 2nd floor of the parish building. Every 4th Wednesday of the month, you'll find us at the Mary, Help of Christians Chapel at the back of the Parish Church.


"So, here we are. Send us oh, Lord! We embrace the world." -- YUPPEACE

Remember when I asked how important for You that for my sister to receive the Sacraments that she needed?  The next day you sent a priest to our home to give those Sacraments. You heard my prayer. I was overjoyed. Thank you! You sent someone like Fr William who took the risk to visit us. Heavenly Father, you always know what's best for us. Even if sometimes it will cause us pain. Your way is The Way, for whatever reason, it is the best. Unless, we will it otherwise, thus, you respect. But the moment our prayer is sent to You, You take charge.  That night, when my sister w
