Rev Fr Matthieu Dauchez is the Executive Director of Anak-TNK Foundation in Manila since 2011. He completed his seminarian studies at the Seminaire Saint Sulpice in Paris in 2004 and was ordained in the Archdiocese of Manila. The Foundation runs more than 28 shelters altogether, catering to the differing needs of former street children until they become independent. Anak-TNK also operates 11 daycare children centres in various slums in Manila. In recent years, it started to care for abandoned seniors in a centre for seniors. Rev Fr Matthieu will share with us on how the Holy Eucharist has impacted and enriched the Poorest of the Poor, finding healing and love through the love of Jesus Christ. In this Lent season in the Year of Pilgrim of Hope, let's listen to Rev Fr Matthieu's encounters with the destitutes and the lessons learnt from the poor, so we can deepen our faith and elevate our hope through our love for God and our neighbours.
