It is for these reasons that Bishop de la Pe\u00f1a has asked for the support of the global community of the Catholic Church.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Prelature\u2019s plan is to invite and engage Marawi residents and train them to become \u201cpeace catalysts.\u201d Participants are set to undergo training modules covering peace education, dialogue and inter-faith harmony. Many of these programs are geared toward Muslim teenagers in order to protect them from what the Bishop calls as \u201cthe persuasive tentacles of extremism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Aside from training for the youth, there will also be peace education lessons and the conduct of theatre-based healing sessions for very young children especially since the Bishop believes young people are more receptive to stories of peace and harmony among religions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Prelature also seeks to establish a healing centre for many who are traumatized by the wounds of war. The centre will employ a combination of psychological and culture-based approaches to healing and wellness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Despite the many challenges that await him, Bishop de la Pe\u00f1a only has lofty dreams for his Prelature. The Bishop hopes to have more people helping his programs despite apprehensions that these may lack support given that many of his proposals are intangible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cIt is easier to ask for support for building infrastructure, but the real foundation of this city must be built in the hearts of its people,\u201d said Bishop de la Pe\u00f1a\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The bishop\u2019s proposals have been received by ACN and a team will be developing them over the coming months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cMy only commitment is that Bishop de la Pe\u00f1a will not be let alone in the next months. Our project department will develop with the Bishop specific projects that can be done for Marawi,\u201d said ACN\u2019s Secretary General Philip Ozores, who visited Malawi in December.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Last September, ACN gave an initial \u20ac20,000 for emergency relief services to the Internally Displaced Peoples (IDP) of Marawi. After the last visit, the organization officially became a partner of the Prelature in its post-war campaign and projects for the people of Marawi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><strong>Josemaria E.
