Last February 18, 2026, the season of Lent began with ashes and a gentle reminder of who we are before God. As ashes were placed on our foreheads, we were reminded of our need for God’s mercy and the quiet invitation to return to Him with sincere hearts.

May the mark we received be more than a symbol, but a daily commitment to choose repentance, prayer, and deeper faith as we journey through this sacred season.

Pope Leo XIV has proclaimed a “Special Year of St. Francis” to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the saint’s death. During this time of grace, which will extend until January 2027, the faithful are granted the opportunity to obtain a plenary indulgence.

This Franciscan Jubilee Year, considered a gift for the entire Church and an occasion for authentic spiritual renewal, was inaugurated on Jan. 10 with a decree issued by the Apostolic Penitentiary of the Holy See.

Until Jan. 10 of next year, the faithful can obtain this grace under the usual conditions — sacramental confession, Communion, and prayer for the intentions of the pope — by making a pilgrimage to any Franciscan conventual church or place of worship dedicated to St. Francis anywhere in the world.

Furthermore, the elderly, the sick, and those who, for serious reasons, cannot leave their homes can obtain the plenary indulgence by spiritually joining in the jubilee celebrations and offering their prayers, pains, or sufferings to God.

Blessed to Bless this Christmas 🎄

Last December 18, 2025, isinabuhay natin ang diwa ng Pasko sa pamamagitan ng simpleng pagbabahagi ng pamaskong handog sa ilang guards at personnel na ating nakasalubong sa SFC Building, Lualhati Building, at Gastambide.

Inspired by the spirituality of St. Francis of Assisi, this outreach is a small but sincere way of expressing gratitude and solidarity with those who quietly and faithfully serve our campus community. Sa simpleng handog, nawa’y naipadama natin na sila ay nakikita, pinahahalagahan, at pinasasalamatan.

This Christmas, we are reminded that we are truly blessed to bless, called to share what we have and to live our faith through concrete acts of service and love for others.
