ABSTRACT
This chapter scrutinizes the key faces of the ministry for and among migrants and their families by the Catholic Church in the Philippines both at home and overseas, with a focus on Asia and with attention to religious education and faith formation. The birth of the lay formation for migrant ministry in Brunei, Malaysia, and Singapore could be traced to the two lay Catholic Malaysians who participated in the Exodus Formation Program conducted by ECMI in 2009 in Baguio City, Philippines. The positive experience of the two Malaysians made them decide to convince the bishop in charge of the ministry to migrants in Malaysia to organize the same seminar in Johor so that pastoral workers from Brunei and Singapore could join. The face and fruits of the Philippine Church’s ministry among Filipino migrants in Taiwan is arguably best reflected in St. Christopher Catholic Church, which is home to many Filipino Catholic migrant workers.
