Our Brief History

Filipino Katoliko (formerly registered as Remnant Apostolic Peccavi Trinitarian Universalist Regent Evangelist or RAPTURE) is a denomination that came from the various factions due to internal organizational differences in the Philippine Ecclesiastical Catholic Church Apostolic Vicar Incarnant (PECCAVI) founded by the late Most Revd Morito M. Cabaron, Sr which has been part of the Philippine Ecumenical Christian Church (PECC) by the late Most Revd Pedrito F. Famorcan who was also part of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente before forming his group.

It was in 1995 that a group of priests, nuns, and members headed by the late Revd Sotero F. Fenis, Sr. (who was respectively chosen to be the Head Bishop) agreed to establish FILIPINO KATOLIKO. Since February 15, 1995, the day of its Declaration, the Filipino Katoliko has been performing its mission and commitment to contribute to spreading, preaching, and teaching the life and teachings of Jesus Christ serving God and the country.

Nowadays, our parishes and the communities of Filipino Katoliko are active mostly in Mindanao regions (Agusan and Surigao provinces, Dinagat Island, Bukidnon, and the Davao provinces).

As Filipinos and Catholics

Guided by the Holy Church’s Cannons and By-laws and the articles of faith and beliefs we proclaim ourselves as Catholics and followers of the teachings of Jesus Christ, Virgin Mary, and the Holy Trinity as Filipinos. We also believe in the Holy Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Confession, Holy Matrimony, Holy Unction, Sacerdotal Succession, and Holy Eucharistic Celebrations.

Independent Filipino Catholic as we call ourselves. If we trace back our tradition, we can relate with the sentiments of the Martyred priests during the Spanish colonization (Fr Mariano Gomez, Fr Jacinto Zamora, and Fr Jose Burgos) that Filipino priests and religious leaders be given autonomy if not independence in running local religious affairs as Christians and Catholics and that Filipinos or the Indios be treated equally and fairly (that had inspired the clamor later after their death for the sovereign Philippines).

Aside from such inspiration, we cannot identify ourselves anymore to any Philippine or Roman Catholics or any religious sect in the country and the world. Ours as FILIPINO KATOLIKO is the name of our religious denomination and does not claim to represent the wide communities of Filipino Catholics.

Solidarity of Faith for the People, the Creation, and the Lord

As we perform our faith and beliefs, Filipino Katoliko works our mission through the reverends and its institutions to help improve our churches and service delivery to the people and the society of believers.

Apart from our religious and spiritual duties, we are also active in the socio-civic community that does not only serve exclusively our members. We are active in interfaith and interreligious dialogues and formations in the local and Mindanao scope. We are also active in solidarity initiatives in times of climate disasters and conflicts. We are also actively involved in the advocacies and services for the restoration of the Creation and capacity building of the communities in Mindanao (particularly) regardless of religious affiliations and ethnicities to be productive members of the community and in building a justpeace society.

We further proclaim that as Filipino Katoliko it is our moral duty to perform our spiritual and social service with utmost solemnity, fidelity, integrity, professionalism, and accountability in unity and abidance to the teachings of the Lord through Jesus Christ.As we acknowledge our diversity, we are open for fraternal dialogue and collaborations in the spiritual works and civic activities as we perform our tasks as children of God to be in harmony with nature, our neighbors, ourselves, and with Him.

Lastly, we reiterate our full respect, recognition, and acknowledgment of the existence and the doctrines and teachings of different religious denominations. We believe that they existed for the same reason, to evangelize compassion, and the gospel of the Lord and guide His children to become good stewards and faithful.

We pray for your understanding and recognition as we practice our religious rites and missionary works.

Fraternally yours in the name of the members,

Most Revd Pedro P. Fenis, Jr.
