Our community joyfully united with the whole Institute in a Triduum of Lectio Divina. Together, we deepened our reflection on the life, witness, and mission of Saint Maria Troncatti, hearing the call to "Go and do likewise."

We reflected on her role as a Mother, inspiring us to embody a loving and caring presence. She was a witness who reflected God’s tenderness, caring for others with compassion, patience, and a generous heart.

We were reminded that we are called to be missionaries everywhere. Like Saint Maria, we seek to be courageous witnesses of the Gospel, bringing Christ’s love to all—especially to those in need—with zeal and dedication.

We looked to her as a builder of peace, moving forward "step by step." She served as a gentle yet strong instrument of reconciliation, fostering unity, understanding, and harmony among all.

This sacred time of prayer and reflection inspired us to live with grateful hearts and a renewed commitment to our mission.

Happy Commemoration of St. John Bosco!

May we learn from our Mother how to surrender our fears and place our ultimate hope in God.

Our formands joined the SYM Camp in Pampanga for a day, spending time with other young people from various Salesian settings, including youth representatives from our oratory centers. Under the theme “Renew: Serve & Shine!”, the inspiring talks in the morning and early afternoon centered on the Strenna 2026, based on the Wedding at Cana.

Our community came together to celebrate Gratitude Day with the inspiring theme, “𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝘃𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲.” 🖌️ The day began with a solemn Holy Mass presided over by Fr. Joe Fernandez, SDB, and in the evening, we witnessed a beautiful presentation in which different colors blended together—symbolizing unity, diversity, and gratitude. Each line on the canvas transformed before our eyes, reminding us that every stroke carries meaning and every shade adds to the beauty of life. 🎨

Yellow, like the light of the sun, happiness, optimism, and creativity. Sr. Rachel’s Mary-like presence and accompaniment guides us and walks with us on our journey. We are deeply grateful for her patient guidance, listening presence, and motherly care.

Our community joyfully came together with the other Sisters of the province to celebrate the spirit of Easter, which began with a solemn Eucharistic celebration.
This occasion helped us be reminded of the season's deeper meaning—renewal, hope, and unity—as we shared joy and strengthened our bonds. Alongside the fun, games, and excitement, the day featured an inspiring presentation by the aspirants and postulants titled “Magandang Umaga,” which encouraged each one to reflect on how the Easter message can guide our daily lives.

Green, the color of growth and new life. Thank you to our Sisters, who have helped and are helping us grow. Through their openness, sisterly love, and constant presence, they have created a home where we are formed to become more like Jesus, and where we feel supported and encouraged to walk where God calls us to be.
