Caritas Internationalis

Officials from the Pontificio Collegio Filippino ( PCF) encourage believers to be more concerned about others.

According to PCF Rector Fr. Gregory Ramon Gaston, leading the Church’s charitable activities in communities is at the heart of Caritas Internationalis’ activity.

The priest emphasized that the Church cannot be compared to a non-governmental organization ( NGO) because all of its actions are based on love and the expansion of the Holy Spirit.

“Lahat ng itinutulong natin, ginagawa ng simbahan ay ultimately patungo sa espiritwal; kung may ginagawa man tayo mga outreach (program), apostolate lahat ito ay magdadala sa atin mapapalapit sa Panginoon, sa ganitong paraan mai-share natin ang Panginoon sa ating kapwa,” Fr. Gaston told Radio Veritas.

Caritas members recently gathered in Rome for the 22nd General Assembly, where Caritas International President Emeritus, Filipino Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, spoke.

Although Cardinal Tagle is no longer the leader of the Church’s social arm, Pope Francis has appointed him to interact with other Caritas organizations in dioceses around the world, according to Fr. Gaston.

During the conference, Tokyo Archbishop Tarcisius Isao Kikuchi was elected president of the Vatican’s charitable arm, becoming the organization’s second Asian leader following Cardinal Tagle.

Fr. Gaston urged the people to continue praying for Pope Francis, Cardinal Tagle, and the new Caritas internationalis leadership. Their purpose is to help disadvantage communities and victims of natural disasters.

The Catholic Church’s charitable attitude distinguishes it from non-governmental organizations. Its work within communities is distinguished by its emphasis on spiritual growth, love, and sharing the Lord ’s grace with others. As the new leaders of Caritas Internationalis assume office, the Faithful are encouraged to pray for them and join them in their efforts to relieve poverty and assist those suffering from various types of hardship.

Caritas Internationalis

The Rector of the Pontifiicio Collegio Filippino (PCF) encouraged Filipino Catholics to pray for the Filipino Cardinal and former Archbishop of Manila Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle as Pope Francis entrusted him with many offices.

Fr. Gregory Ramon Gaston, rector of PCF where Filipino priests who study in Rome reside, said that Pope Francis has recently assigned Cardinal Tagle, President-emeritus of Caritas Internationalis, as assistant and temporary overseer of international humanitarian aid of the Vatican.

“Kaya talagang ipagdasal natin si Cardinal Tagle kasi napakarami ng kanyang assignments sa iba’t ibang offices ng Vatican. Pati na rin sa iba’t-ibang mga grupo ng simbahan, governments, private organizations at individuals sa buong mundo, marami rin ang gustong makipag-usap at mag-consult kay Cardinal Tagle,” Fr. Gaston told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Gaston clarified that Cardinal Tagle was not removed from his position but rather the end of his term took effect before the changes and relaunching of Caritas Internationalis since his leadership began in 2015.

“Mukhang naparami pa ang trabaho ni Cardinal [Luis Antonio] Tagle; bilang President noon ng Caritas International, may full time staff siya sa Vatican. Ito ay mula pa noong Arzobispo siya ng Manila hanggang ginawang head ng isa sa pinakamalaking department ng Vatican.” according to Fr. Gaston.

The rector also explained that the cardinal will expand the operations of the social arm of the church so it won’t be committed to just its central office in the Vatican.

In a decree by Pope Francis, Dr. Pier Francesco Pinello was appointed administrator of Caritas Internationalis. The pope assigned Cardinal Tagle to communicate with the different social arm of the dioceses around the world.

It was on November 22 when Pope Francis temporarily assigned an administrator for the organization as means of preparation for the upcoming election the following year coinciding with the General Assembly of the Caritas Internationalis.

The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development first clarified that there are no corruption or sexual abuse connected with Pope Francis’ measures but rather the organization of Caritas Internationalis to better accomplish its goals most especially with helping those in need in our society.

The Holy Father Pope Francis has appointed Dr. Pier Francesco Pinelli as the Temporary Administrator of Caritas Internationalis.

“I hereby appoint Dr. Pier Francesco Pinelli as Temporary Administrator of Caritas Internationalis, so that, as from 22 November 2022, he may temporarily direct it ad nutum by the Apostolic See, with all the powers of governance, in accordance with common law and the Statutes and Rules of the Institution, and with full authority to derogate from them, should he deem it opportune or necessary,” according to a decree dated Nov. 11 and was released by the Vatican on Nov. 22, 2022.

The Decree also states that “the Members of the Representative Council and the Executive Council, the President and Vice Presidents, the Secretary General, the Treasurer and the Ecclesiastical Assistant shall cease from their respective offices.”

According to Vatican News, the move to change the administration of Caritas Internationalis is “necessary to review Caritas’ norms and procedures and to make necessary preparations for the elections set for the next General Assembly.”

“In order to improve the fulfilment of this mission, it would appear necessary to revise the current regulatory framework to make it more appropriate to the statutory functions of the organization, and to prepare it for the elections to be held at the next General Assembly. With the fervent wish to facilitate the envisaged renewal of the Institution,” according to the decree.

The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development (DPIHD) emphasized that the change of leadership in the organization of Caritas Internationalis is not due to corruption and sexual impropriety but rather an adjustment towards a better program that the church can implement.

“No evidence emerged of financial mismanagement or sexual impropriety, but other important themes and areas for urgent attention emerged from the panel’s work. Real deficiencies were noted in management and procedures, seriously prejudicing team-spirit and staff morale,” according to DPIHD.

To assist Dr. Pinelli with the tasks, Pope Francis also appointed Maria Amparo Alonso Escobar and Rev. P. Manuel Morujão, S.J., as support to Pinelli “for the personal and spiritual accompaniment of the employees.” 

Luis Antonio G. Cardinal Tagle will assist the temporary Administrator and will be “responsible in particular for relations with the local Churches and Member Organizations of Caritas Internationalis,” according to the decree.

Caritas Internationalis is a confederation of 162 Catholic reliefdevelopment and social service organizations, operating in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide. Its headquarters is incorporated in the Holy See and is supervised by the DPIHD. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC | Photo File by RCAM-AOC)

Fr. Gregory Ramon Gaston, rector of PCF where Filipino priests who study in Rome reside, said that Pope Francis has recently assigned Cardinal Tagle, President-emeritus of Caritas Internationalis, as assistant and temporary overseer of international humanitarian aid of the Vatican.

“Kaya talagang ipagdasal natin si Cardinal Tagle kasi napakarami ng kanyang assignments sa iba’t ibang offices ng Vatican. Pati na rin sa iba’t-ibang mga grupo ng simbahan, governments, private organizations at individuals sa buong mundo, marami rin ang gustong makipag-usap at mag-consult kay Cardinal Tagle,” Fr. Gaston told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Gaston clarified that Cardinal Tagle was not removed from his position but rather the end of his term took effect before the changes and relaunching of Caritas Internationalis since his leadership began in 2015.

“Mukhang naparami pa ang trabaho ni Cardinal [Luis Antonio] Tagle; bilang President noon ng Caritas International, may full time staff siya sa Vatican. Ito ay mula pa noong Arzobispo siya ng Manila hanggang ginawang head ng isa sa pinakamalaking department ng Vatican.” according to Fr. Gaston.

The rector also explained that the cardinal will expand the operations of the social arm of the church so it won’t be committed to just its central office in the Vatican.

In a decree by Pope Francis, Dr. Pier Francesco Pinello was appointed administrator of Caritas Internationalis. The pope assigned Cardinal Tagle to communicate with the different social arm of the dioceses around the world.

It was on November 22 when Pope Francis temporarily assigned an administrator for the organization as means of preparation for the upcoming election the following year coinciding with the General Assembly of the Caritas Internationalis.

The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development first clarified that there are no corruption or sexual abuse connected with Pope Francis’ measures but rather the organization of Caritas Internationalis to better accomplish its goals most especially with helping those in need in our society.

The Holy Father Pope Francis has appointed Dr. Pier Francesco Pinelli as the Temporary Administrator of Caritas Internationalis.

“I hereby appoint Dr. Pier Francesco Pinelli as Temporary Administrator of Caritas Internationalis, so that, as from 22 November 2022, he may temporarily direct it ad nutum by the Apostolic See, with all the powers of governance, in accordance with common law and the Statutes and Rules of the Institution, and with full authority to derogate from them, should he deem it opportune or necessary,” according to a decree dated Nov. 11 and was released by the Vatican on Nov. 22, 2022.

The Decree also states that “the Members of the Representative Council and the Executive Council, the President and Vice Presidents, the Secretary General, the Treasurer and the Ecclesiastical Assistant shall cease from their respective offices.”

According to Vatican News, the move to change the administration of Caritas Internationalis is “necessary to review Caritas’ norms and procedures and to make necessary preparations for the elections set for the next General Assembly.”

“In order to improve the fulfilment of this mission, it would appear necessary to revise the current regulatory framework to make it more appropriate to the statutory functions of the organization, and to prepare it for the elections to be held at the next General Assembly. With the fervent wish to facilitate the envisaged renewal of the Institution,” according to the decree.

The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development (DPIHD) emphasized that the change of leadership in the organization of Caritas Internationalis is not due to corruption and sexual impropriety but rather an adjustment towards a better program that the church can implement.

“No evidence emerged of financial mismanagement or sexual impropriety, but other important themes and areas for urgent attention emerged from the panel’s work. Real deficiencies were noted in management and procedures, seriously prejudicing team-spirit and staff morale,” according to DPIHD.

To assist Dr. Pinelli with the tasks, Pope Francis also appointed Maria Amparo Alonso Escobar and Rev. P. Manuel Morujão, S.J., as support to Pinelli “for the personal and spiritual accompaniment of the employees.” 

Luis Antonio G. Cardinal Tagle will assist the temporary Administrator and will be “responsible in particular for relations with the local Churches and Member Organizations of Caritas Internationalis,” according to the decree.

Caritas Internationalis is a confederation of 162 Catholic reliefdevelopment and social service organizations, operating in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide. Its headquarters is incorporated in the Holy See and is supervised by the DPIHD. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC | Photo File by RCAM-AOC)

Officials from the Pontificio Collegio Filippino ( PCF) encourage believers to be more concerned about others.

According to PCF Rector Fr. Gregory Ramon Gaston, leading the Church’s charitable activities in communities is at the heart of Caritas Internationalis’ activity.

The priest emphasized that the Church cannot be compared to a non-governmental organization ( NGO) because all of its actions are based on love and the expansion of the Holy Spirit.

“Lahat ng itinutulong natin, ginagawa ng simbahan ay ultimately patungo sa espiritwal; kung may ginagawa man tayo mga outreach (program), apostolate lahat ito ay magdadala sa atin mapapalapit sa Panginoon, sa ganitong paraan mai-share natin ang Panginoon sa ating kapwa,” Fr. Gaston told Radio Veritas.

Caritas members recently gathered in Rome for the 22nd General Assembly, where Caritas International President Emeritus, Filipino Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, spoke.

Although Cardinal Tagle is no longer the leader of the Church’s social arm, Pope Francis has appointed him to interact with other Caritas organizations in dioceses around the world, according to Fr. Gaston.

During the conference, Tokyo Archbishop Tarcisius Isao Kikuchi was elected president of the Vatican’s charitable arm, becoming the organization’s second Asian leader following Cardinal Tagle.

Fr. Gaston urged the people to continue praying for Pope Francis, Cardinal Tagle, and the new Caritas internationalis leadership. Their purpose is to help disadvantage communities and victims of natural disasters.

The Catholic Church’s charitable attitude distinguishes it from non-governmental organizations. Its work within communities is distinguished by its emphasis on spiritual growth, love, and sharing the Lord ’s grace with others. As the new leaders of Caritas Internationalis assume office, the Faithful are encouraged to pray for them and join them in their efforts to relieve poverty and assist those suffering from various types of hardship.

The Holy Father Pope Francis has appointed Dr. Pier Francesco Pinelli as the Temporary Administrator of Caritas Internationalis.

“I hereby appoint Dr. Pier Francesco Pinelli as Temporary Administrator of Caritas Internationalis, so that, as from 22 November 2022, he may temporarily direct it ad nutum by the Apostolic See, with all the powers of governance, in accordance with common law and the Statutes and Rules of the Institution, and with full authority to derogate from them, should he deem it opportune or necessary,” according to a decree dated Nov. 11 and was released by the Vatican on Nov. 22, 2022.

The Decree also states that “the Members of the Representative Council and the Executive Council, the President and Vice Presidents, the Secretary General, the Treasurer and the Ecclesiastical Assistant shall cease from their respective offices.”

According to Vatican News, the move to change the administration of Caritas Internationalis is “necessary to review Caritas’ norms and procedures and to make necessary preparations for the elections set for the next General Assembly.”

“In order to improve the fulfilment of this mission, it would appear necessary to revise the current regulatory framework to make it more appropriate to the statutory functions of the organization, and to prepare it for the elections to be held at the next General Assembly. With the fervent wish to facilitate the envisaged renewal of the Institution,” according to the decree.

The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development (DPIHD) emphasized that the change of leadership in the organization of Caritas Internationalis is not due to corruption and sexual impropriety but rather an adjustment towards a better program that the church can implement.

“No evidence emerged of financial mismanagement or sexual impropriety, but other important themes and areas for urgent attention emerged from the panel’s work. Real deficiencies were noted in management and procedures, seriously prejudicing team-spirit and staff morale,” according to DPIHD.

To assist Dr. Pinelli with the tasks, Pope Francis also appointed Maria Amparo Alonso Escobar and Rev. P. Manuel Morujão, S.J., as support to Pinelli “for the personal and spiritual accompaniment of the employees.” 

Luis Antonio G. Cardinal Tagle will assist the temporary Administrator and will be “responsible in particular for relations with the local Churches and Member Organizations of Caritas Internationalis,” according to the decree.

Caritas Internationalis is a confederation of 162 Catholic reliefdevelopment and social service organizations, operating in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide. Its headquarters is incorporated in the Holy See and is supervised by the DPIHD. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC | Photo File by RCAM-AOC)

Officials from the Pontificio Collegio Filippino ( PCF) encourage believers to be more concerned about others.

According to PCF Rector Fr. Gregory Ramon Gaston, leading the Church’s charitable activities in communities is at the heart of Caritas Internationalis’ activity.

The priest emphasized that the Church cannot be compared to a non-governmental organization ( NGO) because all of its actions are based on love and the expansion of the Holy Spirit.

“Lahat ng itinutulong natin, ginagawa ng simbahan ay ultimately patungo sa espiritwal; kung may ginagawa man tayo mga outreach (program), apostolate lahat ito ay magdadala sa atin mapapalapit sa Panginoon, sa ganitong paraan mai-share natin ang Panginoon sa ating kapwa,” Fr. Gaston told Radio Veritas.

Caritas members recently gathered in Rome for the 22nd General Assembly, where Caritas International President Emeritus, Filipino Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, spoke.

Although Cardinal Tagle is no longer the leader of the Church’s social arm, Pope Francis has appointed him to interact with other Caritas organizations in dioceses around the world, according to Fr. Gaston.

During the conference, Tokyo Archbishop Tarcisius Isao Kikuchi was elected president of the Vatican’s charitable arm, becoming the organization’s second Asian leader following Cardinal Tagle.

Fr. Gaston urged the people to continue praying for Pope Francis, Cardinal Tagle, and the new Caritas internationalis leadership. Their purpose is to help disadvantage communities and victims of natural disasters.

The Catholic Church’s charitable attitude distinguishes it from non-governmental organizations. Its work within communities is distinguished by its emphasis on spiritual growth, love, and sharing the Lord ’s grace with others. As the new leaders of Caritas Internationalis assume office, the Faithful are encouraged to pray for them and join them in their efforts to relieve poverty and assist those suffering from various types of hardship.

Caritas Internationalis

The Rector of the Pontifiicio Collegio Filippino (PCF) encouraged Filipino Catholics to pray for the Filipino Cardinal and former Archbishop of Manila Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle as Pope Francis entrusted him with many offices.

Fr. Gregory Ramon Gaston, rector of PCF where Filipino priests who study in Rome reside, said that Pope Francis has recently assigned Cardinal Tagle, President-emeritus of Caritas Internationalis, as assistant and temporary overseer of international humanitarian aid of the Vatican.

“Kaya talagang ipagdasal natin si Cardinal Tagle kasi napakarami ng kanyang assignments sa iba’t ibang offices ng Vatican. Pati na rin sa iba’t-ibang mga grupo ng simbahan, governments, private organizations at individuals sa buong mundo, marami rin ang gustong makipag-usap at mag-consult kay Cardinal Tagle,” Fr. Gaston told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Gaston clarified that Cardinal Tagle was not removed from his position but rather the end of his term took effect before the changes and relaunching of Caritas Internationalis since his leadership began in 2015.

“Mukhang naparami pa ang trabaho ni Cardinal [Luis Antonio] Tagle; bilang President noon ng Caritas International, may full time staff siya sa Vatican. Ito ay mula pa noong Arzobispo siya ng Manila hanggang ginawang head ng isa sa pinakamalaking department ng Vatican.” according to Fr. Gaston.

The rector also explained that the cardinal will expand the operations of the social arm of the church so it won’t be committed to just its central office in the Vatican.

In a decree by Pope Francis, Dr. Pier Francesco Pinello was appointed administrator of Caritas Internationalis. The pope assigned Cardinal Tagle to communicate with the different social arm of the dioceses around the world.

It was on November 22 when Pope Francis temporarily assigned an administrator for the organization as means of preparation for the upcoming election the following year coinciding with the General Assembly of the Caritas Internationalis.

The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development first clarified that there are no corruption or sexual abuse connected with Pope Francis’ measures but rather the organization of Caritas Internationalis to better accomplish its goals most especially with helping those in need in our society.

Officials from the Pontificio Collegio Filippino ( PCF) encourage believers to be more concerned about others.

According to PCF Rector Fr. Gregory Ramon Gaston, leading the Church’s charitable activities in communities is at the heart of Caritas Internationalis’ activity.

The priest emphasized that the Church cannot be compared to a non-governmental organization ( NGO) because all of its actions are based on love and the expansion of the Holy Spirit.

“Lahat ng itinutulong natin, ginagawa ng simbahan ay ultimately patungo sa espiritwal; kung may ginagawa man tayo mga outreach (program), apostolate lahat ito ay magdadala sa atin mapapalapit sa Panginoon, sa ganitong paraan mai-share natin ang Panginoon sa ating kapwa,” Fr. Gaston told Radio Veritas.

Caritas members recently gathered in Rome for the 22nd General Assembly, where Caritas International President Emeritus, Filipino Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, spoke.

Although Cardinal Tagle is no longer the leader of the Church’s social arm, Pope Francis has appointed him to interact with other Caritas organizations in dioceses around the world, according to Fr. Gaston.

During the conference, Tokyo Archbishop Tarcisius Isao Kikuchi was elected president of the Vatican’s charitable arm, becoming the organization’s second Asian leader following Cardinal Tagle.

Fr. Gaston urged the people to continue praying for Pope Francis, Cardinal Tagle, and the new Caritas internationalis leadership. Their purpose is to help disadvantage communities and victims of natural disasters.

The Catholic Church’s charitable attitude distinguishes it from non-governmental organizations. Its work within communities is distinguished by its emphasis on spiritual growth, love, and sharing the Lord ’s grace with others. As the new leaders of Caritas Internationalis assume office, the Faithful are encouraged to pray for them and join them in their efforts to relieve poverty and assist those suffering from various types of hardship.

The Rector of the Pontifiicio Collegio Filippino (PCF) encouraged Filipino Catholics to pray for the Filipino Cardinal and former Archbishop of Manila Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle as Pope Francis entrusted him with many offices.

Fr. Gregory Ramon Gaston, rector of PCF where Filipino priests who study in Rome reside, said that Pope Francis has recently assigned Cardinal Tagle, President-emeritus of Caritas Internationalis, as assistant and temporary overseer of international humanitarian aid of the Vatican.

“Kaya talagang ipagdasal natin si Cardinal Tagle kasi napakarami ng kanyang assignments sa iba’t ibang offices ng Vatican. Pati na rin sa iba’t-ibang mga grupo ng simbahan, governments, private organizations at individuals sa buong mundo, marami rin ang gustong makipag-usap at mag-consult kay Cardinal Tagle,” Fr. Gaston told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Gaston clarified that Cardinal Tagle was not removed from his position but rather the end of his term took effect before the changes and relaunching of Caritas Internationalis since his leadership began in 2015.

“Mukhang naparami pa ang trabaho ni Cardinal [Luis Antonio] Tagle; bilang President noon ng Caritas International, may full time staff siya sa Vatican. Ito ay mula pa noong Arzobispo siya ng Manila hanggang ginawang head ng isa sa pinakamalaking department ng Vatican.” according to Fr. Gaston.

The rector also explained that the cardinal will expand the operations of the social arm of the church so it won’t be committed to just its central office in the Vatican.

In a decree by Pope Francis, Dr. Pier Francesco Pinello was appointed administrator of Caritas Internationalis. The pope assigned Cardinal Tagle to communicate with the different social arm of the dioceses around the world.

It was on November 22 when Pope Francis temporarily assigned an administrator for the organization as means of preparation for the upcoming election the following year coinciding with the General Assembly of the Caritas Internationalis.

The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development first clarified that there are no corruption or sexual abuse connected with Pope Francis’ measures but rather the organization of Caritas Internationalis to better accomplish its goals most especially with helping those in need in our society.

The Holy Father Pope Francis has appointed Dr. Pier Francesco Pinelli as the Temporary Administrator of Caritas Internationalis.

“I hereby appoint Dr. Pier Francesco Pinelli as Temporary Administrator of Caritas Internationalis, so that, as from 22 November 2022, he may temporarily direct it ad nutum by the Apostolic See, with all the powers of governance, in accordance with common law and the Statutes and Rules of the Institution, and with full authority to derogate from them, should he deem it opportune or necessary,” according to a decree dated Nov. 11 and was released by the Vatican on Nov. 22, 2022.

The Decree also states that “the Members of the Representative Council and the Executive Council, the President and Vice Presidents, the Secretary General, the Treasurer and the Ecclesiastical Assistant shall cease from their respective offices.”

According to Vatican News, the move to change the administration of Caritas Internationalis is “necessary to review Caritas’ norms and procedures and to make necessary preparations for the elections set for the next General Assembly.”

“In order to improve the fulfilment of this mission, it would appear necessary to revise the current regulatory framework to make it more appropriate to the statutory functions of the organization, and to prepare it for the elections to be held at the next General Assembly. With the fervent wish to facilitate the envisaged renewal of the Institution,” according to the decree.

The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development (DPIHD) emphasized that the change of leadership in the organization of Caritas Internationalis is not due to corruption and sexual impropriety but rather an adjustment towards a better program that the church can implement.

“No evidence emerged of financial mismanagement or sexual impropriety, but other important themes and areas for urgent attention emerged from the panel’s work. Real deficiencies were noted in management and procedures, seriously prejudicing team-spirit and staff morale,” according to DPIHD.

To assist Dr. Pinelli with the tasks, Pope Francis also appointed Maria Amparo Alonso Escobar and Rev. P. Manuel Morujão, S.J., as support to Pinelli “for the personal and spiritual accompaniment of the employees.” 

Luis Antonio G. Cardinal Tagle will assist the temporary Administrator and will be “responsible in particular for relations with the local Churches and Member Organizations of Caritas Internationalis,” according to the decree.

Caritas Internationalis is a confederation of 162 Catholic reliefdevelopment and social service organizations, operating in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide.

The Rector of the Pontifiicio Collegio Filippino (PCF) encouraged Filipino Catholics to pray for the Filipino Cardinal and former Archbishop of Manila Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle as Pope Francis entrusted him with many offices.

Fr. Gregory Ramon Gaston, rector of PCF where Filipino priests who study in Rome reside, said that Pope Francis has recently assigned Cardinal Tagle, President-emeritus of Caritas Internationalis, as assistant and temporary overseer of international humanitarian aid of the Vatican.

“Kaya talagang ipagdasal natin si Cardinal Tagle kasi napakarami ng kanyang assignments sa iba’t ibang offices ng Vatican. Pati na rin sa iba’t-ibang mga grupo ng simbahan, governments, private organizations at individuals sa buong mundo, marami rin ang gustong makipag-usap at mag-consult kay Cardinal Tagle,” Fr. Gaston told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Gaston clarified that Cardinal Tagle was not removed from his position but rather the end of his term took effect before the changes and relaunching of Caritas Internationalis since his leadership began in 2015.

“Mukhang naparami pa ang trabaho ni Cardinal [Luis Antonio] Tagle; bilang President noon ng Caritas International, may full time staff siya sa Vatican. Ito ay mula pa noong Arzobispo siya ng Manila hanggang ginawang head ng isa sa pinakamalaking department ng Vatican.” according to Fr. Gaston.

The rector also explained that the cardinal will expand the operations of the social arm of the church so it won’t be committed to just its central office in the Vatican.

In a decree by Pope Francis, Dr. Pier Francesco Pinello was appointed administrator of Caritas Internationalis. The pope assigned Cardinal Tagle to communicate with the different social arm of the dioceses around the world.

It was on November 22 when Pope Francis temporarily assigned an administrator for the organization as means of preparation for the upcoming election the following year coinciding with the General Assembly of the Caritas Internationalis.

The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development first clarified that there are no corruption or sexual abuse connected with Pope Francis’ measures but rather the organization of Caritas Internationalis to better accomplish its goals most especially with helping those in need in our society.

The Holy Father Pope Francis has appointed Dr. Pier Francesco Pinelli as the Temporary Administrator of Caritas Internationalis.

“I hereby appoint Dr. Pier Francesco Pinelli as Temporary Administrator of Caritas Internationalis, so that, as from 22 November 2022, he may temporarily direct it ad nutum by the Apostolic See, with all the powers of governance, in accordance with common law and the Statutes and Rules of the Institution, and with full authority to derogate from them, should he deem it opportune or necessary,” according to a decree dated Nov. 11 and was released by the Vatican on Nov. 22, 2022.

The Decree also states that “the Members of the Representative Council and the Executive Council, the President and Vice Presidents, the Secretary General, the Treasurer and the Ecclesiastical Assistant shall cease from their respective offices.”

According to Vatican News, the move to change the administration of Caritas Internationalis is “necessary to review Caritas’ norms and procedures and to make necessary preparations for the elections set for the next General Assembly.”

“In order to improve the fulfilment of this mission, it would appear necessary to revise the current regulatory framework to make it more appropriate to the statutory functions of the organization, and to prepare it for the elections to be held at the next General Assembly. With the fervent wish to facilitate the envisaged renewal of the Institution,” according to the decree.

The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development (DPIHD) emphasized that the change of leadership in the organization of Caritas Internationalis is not due to corruption and sexual impropriety but rather an adjustment towards a better program that the church can implement.

“No evidence emerged of financial mismanagement or sexual impropriety, but other important themes and areas for urgent attention emerged from the panel’s work. Real deficiencies were noted in management and procedures, seriously prejudicing team-spirit and staff morale,” according to DPIHD.

To assist Dr. Pinelli with the tasks, Pope Francis also appointed Maria Amparo Alonso Escobar and Rev. P. Manuel Morujão, S.J., as support to Pinelli “for the personal and spiritual accompaniment of the employees.” 

Luis Antonio G. Cardinal Tagle will assist the temporary Administrator and will be “responsible in particular for relations with the local Churches and Member Organizations of Caritas Internationalis,” according to the decree.

Caritas Internationalis is a confederation of 162 Catholic reliefdevelopment and social service organizations, operating in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide. Its headquarters is incorporated in the Holy See and is supervised by the DPIHD. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC | Photo File by RCAM-AOC)

According to PCF Rector Fr. Gregory Ramon Gaston, leading the Church’s charitable activities in communities is at the heart of Caritas Internationalis’ activity.

The priest emphasized that the Church cannot be compared to a non-governmental organization ( NGO) because all of its actions are based on love and the expansion of the Holy Spirit.

“Lahat ng itinutulong natin, ginagawa ng simbahan ay ultimately patungo sa espiritwal; kung may ginagawa man tayo mga outreach (program), apostolate lahat ito ay magdadala sa atin mapapalapit sa Panginoon, sa ganitong paraan mai-share natin ang Panginoon sa ating kapwa,” Fr. Gaston told Radio Veritas.

Caritas members recently gathered in Rome for the 22nd General Assembly, where Caritas International President Emeritus, Filipino Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, spoke.

Although Cardinal Tagle is no longer the leader of the Church’s social arm, Pope Francis has appointed him to interact with other Caritas organizations in dioceses around the world, according to Fr. Gaston.

During the conference, Tokyo Archbishop Tarcisius Isao Kikuchi was elected president of the Vatican’s charitable arm, becoming the organization’s second Asian leader following Cardinal Tagle.

Fr. Gaston urged the people to continue praying for Pope Francis, Cardinal Tagle, and the new Caritas internationalis leadership. Their purpose is to help disadvantage communities and victims of natural disasters.

The Catholic Church’s charitable attitude distinguishes it from non-governmental organizations. Its work within communities is distinguished by its emphasis on spiritual growth, love, and sharing the Lord ’s grace with others. As the new leaders of Caritas Internationalis assume office, the Faithful are encouraged to pray for them and join them in their efforts to relieve poverty and assist those suffering from various types of hardship.

The Holy Father Pope Francis has appointed Dr. Pier Francesco Pinelli as the Temporary Administrator of Caritas Internationalis.

“I hereby appoint Dr. Pier Francesco Pinelli as Temporary Administrator of Caritas Internationalis, so that, as from 22 November 2022, he may temporarily direct it ad nutum by the Apostolic See, with all the powers of governance, in accordance with common law and the Statutes and Rules of the Institution, and with full authority to derogate from them, should he deem it opportune or necessary,” according to a decree dated Nov. 11 and was released by the Vatican on Nov. 22, 2022.

The Decree also states that “the Members of the Representative Council and the Executive Council, the President and Vice Presidents, the Secretary General, the Treasurer and the Ecclesiastical Assistant shall cease from their respective offices.”

According to Vatican News, the move to change the administration of Caritas Internationalis is “necessary to review Caritas’ norms and procedures and to make necessary preparations for the elections set for the next General Assembly.”

“In order to improve the fulfilment of this mission, it would appear necessary to revise the current regulatory framework to make it more appropriate to the statutory functions of the organization, and to prepare it for the elections to be held at the next General Assembly. With the fervent wish to facilitate the envisaged renewal of the Institution,” according to the decree.

The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development (DPIHD) emphasized that the change of leadership in the organization of Caritas Internationalis is not due to corruption and sexual impropriety but rather an adjustment towards a better program that the church can implement.

“No evidence emerged of financial mismanagement or sexual impropriety, but other important themes and areas for urgent attention emerged from the panel’s work. Real deficiencies were noted in management and procedures, seriously prejudicing team-spirit and staff morale,” according to DPIHD.

To assist Dr. Pinelli with the tasks, Pope Francis also appointed Maria Amparo Alonso Escobar and Rev. P. Manuel Morujão, S.J., as support to Pinelli “for the personal and spiritual accompaniment of the employees.” 

Luis Antonio G. Cardinal Tagle will assist the temporary Administrator and will be “responsible in particular for relations with the local Churches and Member Organizations of Caritas Internationalis,” according to the decree.

Caritas Internationalis is a confederation of 162 Catholic reliefdevelopment and social service organizations, operating in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide. Its headquarters is incorporated in the Holy See and is supervised by the DPIHD. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC | Photo File by RCAM-AOC)

Officials from the Pontificio Collegio Filippino ( PCF) encourage believers to be more concerned about others.

According to PCF Rector Fr. Gregory Ramon Gaston, leading the Church’s charitable activities in communities is at the heart of Caritas Internationalis’ activity.

The priest emphasized that the Church cannot be compared to a non-governmental organization ( NGO) because all of its actions are based on love and the expansion of the Holy Spirit.

“Lahat ng itinutulong natin, ginagawa ng simbahan ay ultimately patungo sa espiritwal; kung may ginagawa man tayo mga outreach (program), apostolate lahat ito ay magdadala sa atin mapapalapit sa Panginoon, sa ganitong paraan mai-share natin ang Panginoon sa ating kapwa,” Fr. Gaston told Radio Veritas.

Caritas members recently gathered in Rome for the 22nd General Assembly, where Caritas International President Emeritus, Filipino Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, spoke.

Although Cardinal Tagle is no longer the leader of the Church’s social arm, Pope Francis has appointed him to interact with other Caritas organizations in dioceses around the world, according to Fr. Gaston.

During the conference, Tokyo Archbishop Tarcisius Isao Kikuchi was elected president of the Vatican’s charitable arm, becoming the organization’s second Asian leader following Cardinal Tagle.

Fr. Gaston urged the people to continue praying for Pope Francis, Cardinal Tagle, and the new Caritas internationalis leadership. Their purpose is to help disadvantage communities and victims of natural disasters.

The Catholic Church’s charitable attitude distinguishes it from non-governmental organizations. Its work within communities is distinguished by its emphasis on spiritual growth, love, and sharing the Lord ’s grace with others. As the new leaders of Caritas Internationalis assume office, the Faithful are encouraged to pray for them and join them in their efforts to relieve poverty and assist those suffering from various types of hardship.

The Rector of the Pontifiicio Collegio Filippino (PCF) encouraged Filipino Catholics to pray for the Filipino Cardinal and former Archbishop of Manila Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle as Pope Francis entrusted him with many offices.

Fr. Gregory Ramon Gaston, rector of PCF where Filipino priests who study in Rome reside, said that Pope Francis has recently assigned Cardinal Tagle, President-emeritus of Caritas Internationalis, as assistant and temporary overseer of international humanitarian aid of the Vatican.

“Kaya talagang ipagdasal natin si Cardinal Tagle kasi napakarami ng kanyang assignments sa iba’t ibang offices ng Vatican. Pati na rin sa iba’t-ibang mga grupo ng simbahan, governments, private organizations at individuals sa buong mundo, marami rin ang gustong makipag-usap at mag-consult kay Cardinal Tagle,” Fr. Gaston told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Gaston clarified that Cardinal Tagle was not removed from his position but rather the end of his term took effect before the changes and relaunching of Caritas Internationalis since his leadership began in 2015.

“Mukhang naparami pa ang trabaho ni Cardinal [Luis Antonio] Tagle; bilang President noon ng Caritas International, may full time staff siya sa Vatican. Ito ay mula pa noong Arzobispo siya ng Manila hanggang ginawang head ng isa sa pinakamalaking department ng Vatican.” according to Fr. Gaston.

The rector also explained that the cardinal will expand the operations of the social arm of the church so it won’t be committed to just its central office in the Vatican.

In a decree by Pope Francis, Dr. Pier Francesco Pinello was appointed administrator of Caritas Internationalis. The pope assigned Cardinal Tagle to communicate with the different social arm of the dioceses around the world.

It was on November 22 when Pope Francis temporarily assigned an administrator for the organization as means of preparation for the upcoming election the following year coinciding with the General Assembly of the Caritas Internationalis.

The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development first clarified that there are no corruption or sexual abuse connected with Pope Francis’ measures but rather the organization of Caritas Internationalis to better accomplish its goals most especially with helping those in need in our society.

Officials from the Pontificio Collegio Filippino ( PCF) encourage believers to be more concerned about others.

According to PCF Rector Fr. Gregory Ramon Gaston, leading the Church’s charitable activities in communities is at the heart of Caritas Internationalis’ activity.

The priest emphasized that the Church cannot be compared to a non-governmental organization ( NGO) because all of its actions are based on love and the expansion of the Holy Spirit.

“Lahat ng itinutulong natin, ginagawa ng simbahan ay ultimately patungo sa espiritwal; kung may ginagawa man tayo mga outreach (program), apostolate lahat ito ay magdadala sa atin mapapalapit sa Panginoon, sa ganitong paraan mai-share natin ang Panginoon sa ating kapwa,” Fr. Gaston told Radio Veritas.

Caritas members recently gathered in Rome for the 22nd General Assembly, where Caritas International President Emeritus, Filipino Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, spoke.

Although Cardinal Tagle is no longer the leader of the Church’s social arm, Pope Francis has appointed him to interact with other Caritas organizations in dioceses around the world, according to Fr. Gaston.

During the conference, Tokyo Archbishop Tarcisius Isao Kikuchi was elected president of the Vatican’s charitable arm, becoming the organization’s second Asian leader following Cardinal Tagle.

Fr. Gaston urged the people to continue praying for Pope Francis, Cardinal Tagle, and the new Caritas internationalis leadership. Their purpose is to help disadvantage communities and victims of natural disasters.

The Catholic Church’s charitable attitude distinguishes it from non-governmental organizations. Its work within communities is distinguished by its emphasis on spiritual growth, love, and sharing the Lord ’s grace with others. As the new leaders of Caritas Internationalis assume office, the Faithful are encouraged to pray for them and join them in their efforts to relieve poverty and assist those suffering from various types of hardship.

The Rector of the Pontifiicio Collegio Filippino (PCF) encouraged Filipino Catholics to pray for the Filipino Cardinal and former Archbishop of Manila Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle as Pope Francis entrusted him with many offices.

Fr. Gregory Ramon Gaston, rector of PCF where Filipino priests who study in Rome reside, said that Pope Francis has recently assigned Cardinal Tagle, President-emeritus of Caritas Internationalis, as assistant and temporary overseer of international humanitarian aid of the Vatican.

“Kaya talagang ipagdasal natin si Cardinal Tagle kasi napakarami ng kanyang assignments sa iba’t ibang offices ng Vatican. Pati na rin sa iba’t-ibang mga grupo ng simbahan, governments, private organizations at individuals sa buong mundo, marami rin ang gustong makipag-usap at mag-consult kay Cardinal Tagle,” Fr. Gaston told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Gaston clarified that Cardinal Tagle was not removed from his position but rather the end of his term took effect before the changes and relaunching of Caritas Internationalis since his leadership began in 2015.

“Mukhang naparami pa ang trabaho ni Cardinal [Luis Antonio] Tagle; bilang President noon ng Caritas International, may full time staff siya sa Vatican. Ito ay mula pa noong Arzobispo siya ng Manila hanggang ginawang head ng isa sa pinakamalaking department ng Vatican.” according to Fr. Gaston.

The rector also explained that the cardinal will expand the operations of the social arm of the church so it won’t be committed to just its central office in the Vatican.

In a decree by Pope Francis, Dr. Pier Francesco Pinello was appointed administrator of Caritas Internationalis. The pope assigned Cardinal Tagle to communicate with the different social arm of the dioceses around the world.

It was on November 22 when Pope Francis temporarily assigned an administrator for the organization as means of preparation for the upcoming election the following year coinciding with the General Assembly of the Caritas Internationalis.

The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development first clarified that there are no corruption or sexual abuse connected with Pope Francis’ measures but rather the organization of Caritas Internationalis to better accomplish its goals most especially with helping those in need in our society.

The Holy Father Pope Francis has appointed Dr. Pier Francesco Pinelli as the Temporary Administrator of Caritas Internationalis.

“I hereby appoint Dr. Pier Francesco Pinelli as Temporary Administrator of Caritas Internationalis, so that, as from 22 November 2022, he may temporarily direct it ad nutum by the Apostolic See, with all the powers of governance, in accordance with common law and the Statutes and Rules of the Institution, and with full authority to derogate from them, should he deem it opportune or necessary,” according to a decree dated Nov. 11 and was released by the Vatican on Nov. 22, 2022.

The Decree also states that “the Members of the Representative Council and the Executive Council, the President and Vice Presidents, the Secretary General, the Treasurer and the Ecclesiastical Assistant shall cease from their respective offices.”

According to Vatican News, the move to change the administration of Caritas Internationalis is “necessary to review Caritas’ norms and procedures and to make necessary preparations for the elections set for the next General Assembly.”

“In order to improve the fulfilment of this mission, it would appear necessary to revise the current regulatory framework to make it more appropriate to the statutory functions of the organization, and to prepare it for the elections to be held at the next General Assembly. With the fervent wish to facilitate the envisaged renewal of the Institution,” according to the decree.

The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development (DPIHD) emphasized that the change of leadership in the organization of Caritas Internationalis is not due to corruption and sexual impropriety but rather an adjustment towards a better program that the church can implement.

“No evidence emerged of financial mismanagement or sexual impropriety, but other important themes and areas for urgent attention emerged from the panel’s work. Real deficiencies were noted in management and procedures, seriously prejudicing team-spirit and staff morale,” according to DPIHD.

To assist Dr. Pinelli with the tasks, Pope Francis also appointed Maria Amparo Alonso Escobar and Rev. P. Manuel Morujão, S.J., as support to Pinelli “for the personal and spiritual accompaniment of the employees.”

Its work within communities is distinguished by its emphasis on spiritual growth, love, and sharing the Lord ’s grace with others. As the new leaders of Caritas Internationalis assume office, the Faithful are encouraged to pray for them and join them in their efforts to relieve poverty and assist those suffering from various types of hardship.

The Rector of the Pontifiicio Collegio Filippino (PCF) encouraged Filipino Catholics to pray for the Filipino Cardinal and former Archbishop of Manila Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle as Pope Francis entrusted him with many offices.

Fr. Gregory Ramon Gaston, rector of PCF where Filipino priests who study in Rome reside, said that Pope Francis has recently assigned Cardinal Tagle, President-emeritus of Caritas Internationalis, as assistant and temporary overseer of international humanitarian aid of the Vatican.

“Kaya talagang ipagdasal natin si Cardinal Tagle kasi napakarami ng kanyang assignments sa iba’t ibang offices ng Vatican. Pati na rin sa iba’t-ibang mga grupo ng simbahan, governments, private organizations at individuals sa buong mundo, marami rin ang gustong makipag-usap at mag-consult kay Cardinal Tagle,” Fr. Gaston told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Gaston clarified that Cardinal Tagle was not removed from his position but rather the end of his term took effect before the changes and relaunching of Caritas Internationalis since his leadership began in 2015.

“Mukhang naparami pa ang trabaho ni Cardinal [Luis Antonio] Tagle; bilang President noon ng Caritas International, may full time staff siya sa Vatican. Ito ay mula pa noong Arzobispo siya ng Manila hanggang ginawang head ng isa sa pinakamalaking department ng Vatican.” according to Fr. Gaston.

The rector also explained that the cardinal will expand the operations of the social arm of the church so it won’t be committed to just its central office in the Vatican.

In a decree by Pope Francis, Dr. Pier Francesco Pinello was appointed administrator of Caritas Internationalis. The pope assigned Cardinal Tagle to communicate with the different social arm of the dioceses around the world.

It was on November 22 when Pope Francis temporarily assigned an administrator for the organization as means of preparation for the upcoming election the following year coinciding with the General Assembly of the Caritas Internationalis.

The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development first clarified that there are no corruption or sexual abuse connected with Pope Francis’ measures but rather the organization of Caritas Internationalis to better accomplish its goals most especially with helping those in need in our society.

The Holy Father Pope Francis has appointed Dr. Pier Francesco Pinelli as the Temporary Administrator of Caritas Internationalis.

“I hereby appoint Dr. Pier Francesco Pinelli as Temporary Administrator of Caritas Internationalis, so that, as from 22 November 2022, he may temporarily direct it ad nutum by the Apostolic See, with all the powers of governance, in accordance with common law and the Statutes and Rules of the Institution, and with full authority to derogate from them, should he deem it opportune or necessary,” according to a decree dated Nov. 11 and was released by the Vatican on Nov. 22, 2022.

The Decree also states that “the Members of the Representative Council and the Executive Council, the President and Vice Presidents, the Secretary General, the Treasurer and the Ecclesiastical Assistant shall cease from their respective offices.”

According to Vatican News, the move to change the administration of Caritas Internationalis is “necessary to review Caritas’ norms and procedures and to make necessary preparations for the elections set for the next General Assembly.”

“In order to improve the fulfilment of this mission, it would appear necessary to revise the current regulatory framework to make it more appropriate to the statutory functions of the organization, and to prepare it for the elections to be held at the next General Assembly. With the fervent wish to facilitate the envisaged renewal of the Institution,” according to the decree.

The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development (DPIHD) emphasized that the change of leadership in the organization of Caritas Internationalis is not due to corruption and sexual impropriety but rather an adjustment towards a better program that the church can implement.

“No evidence emerged of financial mismanagement or sexual impropriety, but other important themes and areas for urgent attention emerged from the panel’s work. Real deficiencies were noted in management and procedures, seriously prejudicing team-spirit and staff morale,” according to DPIHD.

To assist Dr. Pinelli with the tasks, Pope Francis also appointed Maria Amparo Alonso Escobar and Rev. P. Manuel Morujão, S.J., as support to Pinelli “for the personal and spiritual accompaniment of the employees.” 

Luis Antonio G. Cardinal Tagle will assist the temporary Administrator and will be “responsible in particular for relations with the local Churches and Member Organizations of Caritas Internationalis,” according to the decree.

Caritas Internationalis is a confederation of 162 Catholic reliefdevelopment and social service organizations, operating in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide.

Caritas members recently gathered in Rome for the 22nd General Assembly, where Caritas International President Emeritus, Filipino Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, spoke.

During the conference, Tokyo Archbishop Tarcisius Isao Kikuchi was elected president of the Vatican’s charitable arm, becoming the organization’s second Asian leader following Cardinal Tagle.
