VOTIVE MASS FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE

As customary among Filipinos and indeed a commendable cultural practice, every major activity is preceded by the celebration of a Holy Mass. Taking into consideration that the overwhelming majority of the people are Roman Catholics. The Mass was a Votive Mass for Peace and Justice. The Mass is considered as the Official Prayer of the Church hence its readings and rituals are regulated by a common book known as Missal. The norms of the Church allows for a special Mass where a specific intention is specified.


The Congregation of Students and Faculty Members attentively listens to the First Reading.




The third year students from the Social Work Department volunteered to serve as our Choir. Indeed their presence saved us from a Mass without a Choir. The choir enhances the beauty and dignity of the Mass
