The Unitarian Universalist Church of Cabiguhan
In the island of Negros in the middle of the Philippine archipelago, in the rural town of Cabiguhan is a small Unitarian Universalist Church – UUSM’s partner church. The church is a one story, one room building. Its congregation consists of a dozen families, with more than 25 youth and children. Its ministers are Rev. Borremeo Cayab Sr. and Rev. Rogelio Lopez. Religious Education is taught by Mary Jane Guillera (kids ages 3-5) and Thelma Lopez (ages 7-12). Over the past year, UUSM has been working hard to strengthen our relationship with our partners across the Pacific.
