On August 6, 2025, the Senior High School community gathered at the cathedral for a grace-filled celebration, the First Departmental Mass, presided over by Rev. Fr. Mark O. Ortega.
The celebration centered on the Gospel of Luke and a heartfelt homily reflecting on the Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ, reminding us to seek transformation in faith and character.
After the Mass, we had the Blessing of the Class Patrons, followed by a solemn procession toward the classrooms, where a special prayer was offered for each classroom patron, entrusting the new academic year to God’s guidance and grace.
May this holy celebration strengthen our faith, unite our community, and guide us toward a year filled with wisdom, blessings, and success.
