Welcome to 2025!!
It is a brand new year. We get a lot of questions regarding CPE programs that are going on. We try to be of help, but we don’t always know all of the activities of the various groups. With that in mind, you are certainly welcome to contact us on our Contact Us page. However, I do suggest you contact some of the various training centers and find out what they are doing.
Just click on the Training Centers page by CLICKING HERE. It gives our various training centers and points of contact.
Upcoming Trainings starting in January 2025.
We (as in CPSP-PH) don’t always know all of the CPE/T batches coming up, because training centers are autonomous… and busy. But when we do know, we want to update you.

#2. Bukal Life Care. Baguio City. Dipls. Celia Munson and Vo Canoy. Intensive (and perhaps Extended) CPE batches in Baguio City, and one batch in Palawan. Hospital and Community. If you have questions, email us at bukallife@gmail.com.

LIFT Training with KABSAT
Several of our CPE trainees took LIFT training. This is training for ministering with those who are sick, including those in a palliative setting. The training was being held by KABSAT, a ministry partner of ours. We partner with them in ministering at Baguio General Hospital.
Our Bukal team also had a meeting planning for our schedule for 2025. We will share some of our plans in a future post.
