This season, the Paulinian community celebrated their Christmas Party and Program last December 19, 2025 at the SPA Covered Court.

It was made meaningful through the students’ Christmas Party, the Advent Liturgy, the Lights On Ceremony, and the heartfelt Song and Dance Presentations of our Paulinians.

We extend our deepest appreciation to our supportive parents, whose generosity and cooperation helped make this celebration joyful and successful.

Together, we experienced a Paskong Paulinian filled with faith and love.

As we light the Candle of Love, the final candle that prepares our hearts for the coming of Christ, its light reminds us that love is the greatest gift God has given the world.

As Paulinians, may this candle teach us to love in words and in actions through kindness and compassion. In a world that often forgets how to love deeply, Christ’s love calls us to choose goodness every day.

“𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝, 𝐲𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠.”

May the Candle of Love guide our hearts as we draw closer to Christmas.

St. Paul Academy of Goa, Inc. invites everyone to our Christmas Celebration, a joyful gathering this afternoon from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the SPA Covered Court. This is where faith meets fun and hearts celebrate the birth of Christ which is the true light of the season.

Halina’t makiisa. Magdiwang, magmahal, at magpasalamat. Ito ang Paskong Paulinian na punô ng pag-asa, kapayapaan, kagalakan, at pag-ibig.

A concrete expression of the school’s commitment to compassion, volunteerism, and community engagement. Through this simple gift-giving activity, SILYAB and DAYAW aim to share the spirit of Christmas through unity, hope, and generosity. The initiative seeks to cultivate among students a deeper sense of social responsibility and empathy while strengthening the school’s partnership with neighboring communities.

Through the collective efforts of the organizations and partner groups, this activity serves as an opportunity to spread joy and hope during the Christmas season.

As we light the pink Candle of Joy, we are being reminded to rejoice for the Lord is near. Even in a world weighed down by broken systems, joy remains a choice rooted in faith.

This candle tells us something powerful: joy is not the absence of struggle but the presence of God in the midst of it.

As Paulinians, may 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘴 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪 𝘜𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘕𝘰𝘴 move us to rejoice and to believe that light is already breaking through the darkness. When joy rises from faith, it becomes our quiet courage to hope even when the world feels heavy.
