The Diocese of Antipolo, which has also issued the “Oratio Imperata” or the Prayer In Times of Calamity is calling on the faithful to send donations of cash and in-kind by coordinating with the parish office where they reside.

The Christ Commission Fellowship, one of the largest Christian organizations with chapters in the provinces, is also leading a fundraising campaign to raise donations for those displaced by the eruption.

Other Christian groups based in the provinces also have their own fundraising initiatives to help people suffering as a result of the volcanic unrest.
