Oikos: A Heart’s True Home” is a song written by a young girl named Joselle who was raised in the Oikos Mission alongside her mother. Joselle is now in her final year of dental school and is one of many success stories thanks to the Lord above and the donors, sponsors and prayer warriors of the Poor Household of God. We hope you enjoy the song! Please keep Joselle, her mother Roselyn and all of the scholars of the Oikos Mission in your prayers!

This coming GIVING TUESDAY, you can make a real difference in the lives of the poor people of Eastern Samar!! The Oikos Sister’s Mission, based in Borongan City, Eastern Samar, has many ministries aimed at helping the poor to overcome poverty. One of those ministries is called the CHARITY PHARMACY.

Headed up by Sr. Clarissa Abella, a licensed pharmacist, the CHARITY PHARMACY has in itself a few missions: ❤ to provide free medication to the poor of any age, or to provide the means for them to purchase the medicines they so badly need; ❤ to give aid to families who have to move a loved one to a higher medical facility, the closest being 4 to 5 hours away. Families must provide the gasoline needed in the ambulance to bring them to the hospital. Also to help provide food for the sick in the hospitals and those who are watching over them; ❤ to give much needed help to pregnant women and new mothers…vitamins, birthing kits, milk for their babies and other needs; ❤ to provide medicines to the prisoners at the city and provincial jails within the City of Borongan; ❤ to reach out to those who are unable to travel into the city but are in need of medicine by way of a mobile Charity Pharmacy Clinic ❤ and even more!!!

Your donation on GIVING TUESDAY will help supply the pharmacy with much needed medicines, provide families with a way to bring their sick loved ones to the hospital and keep them fed during their stay, will be a source of peace and assurance that their children, elderly parents and even themselves are on the way to being better and healthier!

Thank you so much for your interest in giving to the CHARITY PHARMACY of the Oikos Sisters! May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and care for those most in need!

“To our dear friends,

Greetings of peace and joy!! Each of the Sisters in our Community would like to express our most sincere gratitude for all of the love shared at the Poor Household of God FUNdraiser this past August 2nd at St. Petronille Parish! How we wish we could have all been there to share in the joy and in the stories, but we were with you in spirit and in prayer! Thank you to all who came to the event, who participated online, who donated gifts for the silent auction and all who volunteered their time to prepare for and work at the event!!

As Sr. Sarah said, all of you are like a beam of moonlight on the sea whose light ripples on and on, going far beyond what the eye can see. Your love, your light and blessings reach beyond what you can see to make our work to eradicate poverty in our little corner of the world possible here in Eastern Samar in the Philippines. Thank you for responding so generously…at this event and even throughout the years. May God bless you abundantly for your love for the poorest of the poor! You remain in the prayers of all of us each day. Please continue to pray for us, especially for more vocations.

With sincere thankfulness and prayers, The Oikos Family
