Vatican City, 15 May 2014 (VIS) – Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin has sent a telegram to the archbishop of Lingayen-Dagupan, Socrates P. Villegas, president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines, on the occasion of the “Asian Conference on the Family”, which is being held from 13 to 16 May on the theme “Families of Asia: Lights of Hope”.
