Music Bible Camp in SVD Manila District

Raul Caga, SVD

As the SVD Biblical Apostolate Coordinator for the Philippines Central Province (PHC), I organized a Music Bible Camp (MBC) for the SVD Manila District, held on May 23–25, 2025, at Lumine Centre in Antipolo City. Nine young participants from four parishes took part in this formative and creative initiative. The primary goal of the MBC was to use music as a pathway for bringing Scripture closer to the youth. This was carried out by teaching them the basic principles of songwriting grounded in biblical texts.

Although the camp was introductory in nature, it aimed to spark in the participants a deeper interest in engaging with the Scriptures. The group was carefully selected based on musical inclination and talent, ensuring that the workshop would resonate with their natural gifts.

The Music Bible Camp was warmly received, with participants expressing enthusiasm and eagerness for a follow-up session. In addition to the songwriting workshops, the camp also included prayer moments, the celebration of the Eucharist, and fellowship activities that strengthened community spirit.

With this positive response, the Music Bible Camp is set to be offered in other districts in the coming months, expanding its reach and continuing to inspire young people to encounter God’s Word through the gift of music.
