Inspired by Pope Francis’ call to “go to the peripheries,” the catechists promote street catechesis in Manila’s Tondo, Binondo and Port Area Delpan areas, using a kariton and a method designed specifically to reach families living on the streets. Artemio B. Manuben Jr, a member of the Secular Franciscan Order, began on August 31, 2009, together with other Franciscan catechists from the parish of Nuestra Señora Dela Soledad, in Binondo, Manila.
“We formed a Franciscan Catechists Band and composed our songs, which we sang during Musikatekesis in jail and to street dwellers,” Manuben explained. The catechesis uses audio-visual tools, but also colouring materials, Bibles, images of Our Lady of Fatima, the Cross of St Damian and St Francis of Assisi and small gifts for participants.
Since then, every Wednesday, after catechesis at the Almario Elementary School, he pushes the cart with food, audio-visual aid, the Bible, the St Damian cross and the image of Our Lady of Fatima to the place where many street kids come to listen to him. Speaking of the impact of his ministry, he noted that after several years of street catechesis, his work has started to bear some fruits.
