𝐀 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐧 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

In a spirit of reverence and unity, the 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚 𝐑𝐢𝐭𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚, 𝐈𝐧𝐜. community came together on 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟏, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐲 𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲, to prayerfully observe the 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬, commemorating the passion and death of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

The sacred activity was participated in by our 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥, 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, school heads, and our respected 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐃𝐫. 𝐁𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐝𝐚 𝐆. 𝐀𝐥𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐨. The presence of the 𝐒𝐑𝐂 𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 further deepened the solemnity of the occasion, guiding the community in a reflective and prayerful journey.

The 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 is a cherished Lenten devotion that invites the faithful to walk spiritually alongside Christ in His final hours—from His condemnation to His crucifixion and burial. Each station serves as a moment of pause, reflection, and prayer, reminding us not only of Christ’s immense suffering but also of His boundless love and sacrifice for humanity.

Through this meaningful observance, the SRC community is reminded that the journey of Christ is also the journey of every 𝐒𝐑𝐂𝐢𝐚𝐧—a path marked by sacrifice, but ultimately leading to hope, redemption, and new life.

May this Lenten season continue to inspire us to live with deeper faith, extend kindness to others, and embrace the values of love, service, and compassion in all that we do.

“We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You, because by Your Holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.”

With sincere gratitude and pride, we share what truly reflects the collective sentiments of the entire SRC community when the 𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚 𝐑𝐢𝐭𝐚, 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐠-𝐚𝐬𝐚 uniforms were formally given to our school on February 18, 2026.

To our dear Mayor of Santa Rita, 𝓡𝓮𝔂𝓷𝓪𝓷 𝓢. 𝓒𝓪𝓵𝓸, we extend our heartfelt thanks for this meaningful initiative. By unifying all public and private schools in the Santa Rita District through a common P.E. uniform, you have done more than provide attire—you have made a powerful statement of solidarity and shared purpose.

This gesture is deeply symbolic. It reflects a noble aspiration to dissolve the lines of competition between public and private institutions and to foster instead a spirit of unity and collaboration. In truth, we are not separate sectors working against one another. We are 𝐨𝐧𝐞 community working together for the same mission.

At the heart of education, there are no divisions. We do not serve sectors or social classes—we serve learners. We do not form categories—we shape individuals. Regardless of background or circumstance, every child deserves the same opportunities, the same encouragement, and the same hope for a brighter future.

May this uniform serve as a visible reminder that in Santa Rita, we stand as 𝐨𝐧𝐞—educators, leaders, parents, and students—guided by the shared belief that education is a unifying force and that together, we are truly 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐠-𝐚𝐬𝐚, a town of hope.
