"They bring a new atmosphere, becoming the core force for Catholicism in Taiwan," suggests Monsignor Thomas Pai. Filipinos tend to be more open and outgoing than Chinese, and use music more frequently, and they actively participate in Mass and other activities, creating a lively and upbeat atmosphere, very different from the traditional somberness of Taiwan's churches.
「他們帶來新氣象，成為台灣天主教會的生力軍」，白正龍副主教認為，菲律賓人個性樂天、擅長音樂，望彌撒或辦活動都非常投入，活潑熱鬧的氣氛，一改台灣教會以往的冷清、嚴肅。
