In February 2006, the Missionaries of the Poor opened the Little Lambs Center (LILAC)–the first and only permanent residential facility in Cebu that caters exclusively
to children with multiple disabilities. This is a permanent home for the destitute, physically and intellectually disabled child.
The Little Lamb Center was blessed by His Eminence Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, Archbishop of Cebu, and opened by the very Rev. Fr. Richard Ho Lung, Founder and Superior General of the Missionaries of the Poor on June 23, 2006. In his short and inspiring homily at the Mass of Blessing, His Eminence expressed his gratitude to the Missionaries of the Poor for such tangible and concrete expression of the Church’s preferential option for the poor.
