2. Activities
a. Mission – IPD makes the kingdom of God actively present in the world by training and empowering the people of God with skills and spiritual preparation to better equip them in their missionary role in the Church.
b. Strategic Thrust – Pastoral Partnership Program (PPP). The PPP enables partner institutions/dioceses to produce trainers in its parishes, geared towards the empowerment of its workers for mission. The echelon of entry will be at the diocese level. Potential trainers coming from the parishes or from the diocese itself will undergo training in evangelization, formation, and parish management. After undergoing the Trainers course, the diocese and parish trainers are then deployed to the parishes for the conduct of these courses, thereby covering the entire diocese and all of its parishes.
