Who We Are and Why We Serve

A Mission of Presence, Accompaniment, and Hope

The Our Lady of Guadalupe Tagakaulo Mission is a Roman Catholic mission of the Diocese of Digos, entrusted to the pastoral stewardship of the Missionaries of Jesus.

Our identity is rooted in accompaniment. We strive to become a Church that listens before speaking, walks before leading, and builds relationships before programs. Inspired by Christ's own example, we journey with the Tagakaulo people in a spirit of humility, mutual respect, and shared discipleship.

We believe that every person is created in the image and likeness of God, every culture reflects the beauty of His creative love, and every encounter is an opportunity to reveal His presence.

Did You Know?

The Our Lady of Guadalupe Tagakaulo Mission was formerly known as the Malita Tagakaulo Mission (MATAMIS). While its name has changed over the years, its commitment to accompanying the Tagakaulo people in faith and service has remained steadfast.

The Principles That Guide Our Journey

We envision vibrant Tagakaulo communities where faith is deeply rooted in Christ, culture is treasured as a gift from God, families flourish in dignity and hope, and every person is empowered to participate fully in the life and mission of the Church.

Inspired by the Gospel and guided by Our Lady of Guadalupe, we dream of communities where education nurtures both wisdom and character, where leadership grows from within, and where future generations continue to proclaim Christ while preserving the richness of their Indigenous heritage.

Our Vision

Our Mission

Every mission is sustained by convictions that shape its purpose, inspire its service, and guide its decisions. At the Our Lady of Guadalupe Tagakaulo Mission, these convictions are rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, nourished by the teachings of the Catholic Church, and lived through our shared journey with the Tagakaulo people. They remind us not only of what we hope to accomplish, but more importantly, of who God calls us to become as His missionary disciples.

The Our Lady of Guadalupe Tagakaulo Mission exists to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ by walking alongside the Tagakaulo people in humble accompaniment, mutual respect, and shared discipleship.

Through pastoral ministry rooted in inculturation, Lumadnong Edukasyon, leadership formation, and compassionate service, we seek to build communities where faith is lived, culture is honored, and every person is given the opportunity to grow in dignity, wisdom, and hope.

Recognizing that God is already at work within every culture and community, we strive not only to serve but to journey together as companions in Christ, bearing witness to His love through relationships rooted in communion and trust.

Jesus Christ is the source, purpose, and heart of everything we do. Every ministry, relationship, and decision flows from our desire to know Him more deeply and make His love visible in the world.
