Welcome to
Lay Community for Renewed Evangelization
Lay CORE is an evangelized and evangelizing lay-initiated community that supports the Chaplaincies of Filipino communities in Europe. Lay CORE was formed by the alumni of MAFAMCO Programme in Germany who were seeking to actively engage in the renewed evangelization and strengthening of the Catholic Faith in Europe. While the founding organization is based in Bonn, Germany, it is envisioned that Lay CORE will eventually become a network of communities in European countries.

Outreach Programme (OP). Laycore reaches out to Filipino chaplaincies in Europe in order to establish a network of community of lay leaders who are enabled to participate and collaborate in the life and ministry of the Church by equipping and empowering them to become agents of the new evangelization.
