在慈幼會管理的聖母進教之佑堂區，我們每主日為新移民舉行兩台英文彌撒及一台越南文彌撒。每月一次，羅力維神父(Fr.
Peter Porio)為前來堂區的菲律賓籍新移民講授要理；而黎明智神父(Fr.
Matthew Le)則會在另外一個日子，以越南文講授要理。
堂區內有兩個菲律賓團體，名為堂區海外菲律賓籍人士牧民團（或稱為聖母軍）及全能天主祈禱團。羅神父為聖母軍及全能天主祈禱團，分別進行每週一次及每月一次的神修培育，
為使新移民團體不斷更新，獲享神益，堂區每年為菲律賓籍新移民舉辦「海外菲律賓籍人士籃球聯賽」，今次已是第十二季比賽，共25支隊伍，每隊20人參賽。
除了在聖母進教之佑堂區提供牧民服務外，慈幼會士也會在其他有新移民人士的堂區舉行彌撒，例如聖心堂區、無玷聖母堂區及聖若瑟堂區。
此外，慈幼會士會於週末前往八所不同的宿舍，舉行彌撒及聖經研讀或分享。其中兩所宿舍會定期於主日上午及傍晚舉行彌撒，而其他宿舍每月只舉行一台彌撒。
來自這些宿舍的新移民，會定期舉行周年退省及修和聖事。除了這八所宿舍外，尚有來自其他宿舍的新移民，請求我們提供牧民服務，然而「莊稼多，工人少」。
作為菲律賓籍移民神師的羅神父，獻出時間為新移民提供一些輔導工作，以及神修方面的指引。由於新移民在時間或地理上的限制，他們大多採用數碼溝通方式。
他為準備領洗或結婚的新移民進行預備工作，提供教理上的指引、進行婚前培育座談會、教導他們成為負責任的父母等等。

Salesians of Don Bosco and the Taiwan Migrants
(ANS - Taiwan –Tainan, 29 July 2015) – In the Salesian parish of Mary Help of Christians, we provide 2 English masses for the migrants and 1 Vietnamese mass. Once a month, Fr. Peter Porio gives catechetical instruction to the Filipino migrants that come to the parish, while Fr. Matthew instructs the Vietnamese in different time.
In the parish, there are 2 Filipino organizations, namely the Parish Pinoy Pastoral community or Legion of Mary and the El Shaddai prayer group. Fr. Porio gives a weekly spiritual formation to the Legion of Mary and once a month spiritual formation for the El Shaddai group.
In order to provide the migrants a wholesome recreation, every year, the parish organizes the "Pinoy Basketball League" for Filipino migrants. Now, on its 12th season, there are 25 teams, with 20 members in each team that participate.
Besides the pastoral services in Mary Help of Christians parish, the Salesians celebrate Masses in other parishes where there are migrants, such as the Sacred Heart parish, Immaculate Conception parish and St. Joseph parish.
Moreover, the Salesians go to 8 different dormitories on weekends to celebrate Masses and conduct Bible study or Bible sharing. Two (2) dormitories have regular masses on Sunday morning and evening. While other dormitories have mass only once-a-month.
The migrants from these dormitories, have a regular annual recollection and confessions. Besides the 8 dormitories, there are still many migrants from other dormitories that request for our pastoral services. But "The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few".
Fr. Peter Porio, as the spiritual guide of the Filipino migrants, provides the migrants time for guidance and counseling and spiritual direction. Due to time constraint and physical unavailability of the migrants, the digital communication is of great service.
He prepares the migrants who are to be baptized or get married, by providing catechetical instructions, pre-cana seminar, responsible parenthood, etc..
Tainan Diocese Migrants Day.
In Taiwan, every year, the Diocese of Tainan celebrates Migrants Day on the last Sunday of September, or the Sunday nearest to September 28, the feast day of the migrant Filipino martyr St. Lorenzo Ruiz of Manila. It is initiated by Bishop Bosco Lin, the diocesan bishop of Tainan
