To Renew the Person, Sustain Through Parish Community, and Transform the Church and Society.
DESCRIPTION
In answer to the New Evangelization of the Catholic Church, Tukod, a network of volunteers from parishes, parish groups and organizations decided to pool their resources and experiences in evangelization and community building to help the church renewal and social transformation of the country.
Tukod will maintain its role to help and work at the parish only upon invitation by the parish priest.
Tukod strategy is to use a basic and simple tool, the Alpha Courses to evangelize and re-evangelize nominal Catholics or Christians; help implement church or parish communities to sustain parishioners or members to experience a working support and pastoral care; help equip the parish or church to become a resource for evangelization and community building that will help other parishes or churches as well; and encourage networking among individuals, groups and parishes or churches to share their experiences, resources and good practices.
Tukod means brace (n.) and pillar (n) as a support to the existing parish or church renewal and help construct (v.); establish (v.); and build (v.) communities for parishes or church which has not yet started. This is articulated thus:
Renewing the Person on the meaning of his/her baptism by going back to the ”kerygma” of his/her faith. Unless a person is conscious to this, he/she will never appreciate and feel the necessity to live and involve in the parish or church community.
Parish or church communities needs to be cared, sustained and nurtured on the simple and effective formation. The test of which is when evangelized or renewed parishioners living in a parish or church community start evangelizing or sharing their community experiences with others.
We are only part of the whole mission of the Church. The idea we are promoting is not new. We collectively do this from the volunteers coming from the different parishes or churches and organizations inspired by the Holy Spirit to initiate, help and contribute to the parish or church renewal.
We are inviting volunteers, donors, sponsors, speakers, facilitators and prayer warriors.
To make this possible, please visit us at the Alpha office at 77 J. Pacana St., Licoan, Cagayan de Oro City 9000 Philippines with Tel.No. 63+9209548582. For your further inquiry, send email to tukod.ta@gmail.com.
