Ms. Mary Grace D. Vicente R.N.:
Greetings from the Ateneo de Davao!
Two more weeks and it will be Christmas Day! This coming Tuesday, Dec. 16, Misa de Gallo will usher in in Catholic Churches all over the Philippines and in other Catholic Churches and Chapels where our fellow Filipinos are able to celebrate the Simbang Gabi, this Novena of Dawn Masses in preparation for our celebration of the Solemnity of the Birth of Our Savior, Jesus Christ.
In the ADDU Jacinto Campus, our Misa de Gallo will begin at 4:30 o'clock in the morning in the Covered Court. Please see our schedule below.
It is also in the spirit of sharing during this joyful season, that our college students are once again having the traditional Christmas Package Drive which they have called "Pagbabahagi 2008".
With its theme "Ateneans, Let's share with thoughtful hearts this Christmas", I encourage our alumni and friends in Davao to join in this yearly activity on campus that will benefit some depressed families of Barangay 31-D, as well as the families of our security and maintenance personnel on the Jacinto campus. A Christmas love offering box is now in our University Chapel and another box in the main entrance of the Finster building. If you are attending any of the Campus Misas de Gallo, you can also bring your Christmas package in the Offertory procession.
I congratulate the Campus Clubs Organization headed by Ms. Crystal Gale Evaristo; the General Assembly of Class Presidents headed by Ms. Elaine Cedeño; and the SociaI Involvement and Coordinating Office [SICO] with Mrs. Theresa Eliab-Salaver (BS'91) as Director and Mr. Ian Clark Parcon (AB'98) as Program Officer for continuing this worthy project.
A Blessed and Merry Christmas to all! Fortes in Fide!
