The Workers’ Orientation  II held last August 8, 2010 at the GSMEC  Love Center, Victoria Building, Quezon City  gave   way to the presentations of the plans and programs of the different Ministries and Apostolates. While the other ministries seem to have their reports quite manageably approved the Ministry on Temporalities needed much of the commitments and supports of the rest of the ministries and the entire community al well.
