Beth Myriam Calbayog opened in 2011 and is run by a group of lay religious women called Society of Servants of BM, who work together as the Apostles of TLIG and live a consecrated life. The Beth Myriam is their apostolate. It was founded by Rev. Father Julio O. Gaddi Jr and he is the spiritual director and Sister Fe is responsible for the Beth Myriam. They serve the people in the area in several ways.

They are open daily for the street children and other kids or anyone who comes to the house of the sisters. The sisters go around the streets to find the needy and they also do home visits in the neighborhoods and areas further away. They have prayer meetings with meals in several areas and transmit Sunday mass on the radio. They are extending their work to include a Beth Myriam Kids Spirituality Center in a house surrounded by squatters in Balud. Form 2022 they have been supported from the international BM Fund.
