Fr. Rob Galea Visits Manila for PCNE

by Margaux Salcedo

Last Friday, July 18, 2025, I was asked to host the Networking Night on the first day of the Philippine Conference on New Evangelization (PCNE) where I had the honor of introducing PCNE's special guest from Australia, Fr. Rob Galea.

Fr. Rob Galea is originally from Malta but now serving in the Sandhurst Diocese in Victoria, Australia. He is a millennial but he has already founded the ICON Ministry, a charity organization that ministers to over 2 million people each year around the world.

Let's get to know more about him in his own words through this video he prepared himself—as a true millennial!

He was also officially chosen to sing at World Youth Day. Here is a clip of him singing at the World Youth Day in Lisbon -

Here are a few key takeaways from his message at the PCNE Networking Night:

1. Faith is caught, not taught.

2. There is a global movement now called 2033. This is to celebrate 2000 years since the time of Christ's resurrection. Fr. Galea hopes that by 2033, every person in the world will know Jesus.

3. Jesus is calling you to love him.

These statements seem simple on the surface but they can change your life!
