Only in the Philippines!

The only Catholic country in Asia, the Philippines is in shortage of Priests. Data shows that since 2004 there is a serious shortage of priests in the Philippines, and at least 25,000 are needed to serve some 68 million Filipino Catholics.


The ideal ratio should be one priest per 2,000 parishioners.

But in Manila, the ratio is 1 priest to 20,000 parishioners.

Those who are interested to become a priest could visit parishes or seminaries and ask the vocation promoters about the process.
