Yuppeace Around the Globe

When YUPPEACE started in 1995 for the World Youth Day in Manila, we were nearly 10,000 volunteers. We were divided then by 5 houses namely: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Paul. About a thousand of us decided to continuously relive the spirit of the World Youth Day and the spirit of volunteerism by meeting in 5 different places without any goal. We simply wanted to see each other while the fire brought by Pope John Paul II was still burning. Believing it was a heaven call, soon, Fr. Armand Robleza, SDB relaunched YUPPEACE as a registered foundation. The thousand remnants of World Youth Day 95 became directors, officers,   house heads, group heads, cell heads, WEST heads, and members of YUPPEACE. The five houses were renamed based on the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary: Help of Christians, Mother of Christ, Cause of Our Joy, Spiritual Vessel, and Morning Star.


After many years of existence, a lot of us have decided to go home to their hometowns in the far provinces of the Philippines. Some decided to leave the Philippines to work abroad, or immigrate to a foreign land. Some have not kept in touch ever since. I hope via this site, they may find a way to keep in touch again and let us know how they have been doing.

Perhaps, the distance between heaven and earth is limitless; but with God, nothing is too far. I know that he can hear me. My Prayer Our Father in Heaven, today I pray again. 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
