St. Thomas Aquinas Feast Day 2025

Today, January 28, the Catholic Church commemorates the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, a 13th-century theologian and philosopher from Roccacca, Italy, who illustrated how the Catholic faith may coexist peacefully with philosophy and other branches of study.

Saint Thomas' 1248 Aristotelian commentary had a significant impact on his knowledge of Catholic theology, leading to his reverence for liturgy and homilist abilities after ordination in the 13th century. He generally succeeded in his goal of converting his family to a genuine practice of the faith.

St. Thomas, known for his theological writings such as Summa Contra Gentiles, Summa Theologica, and Compendium Theologiae, is now revered as the patron saint of students and universities.

On this day, January 24, we celebrate the feast day of St. Francis de Sales, the patron saint of writers and journalists.

St. Francis de Sales wrote pamphlets on the Catholic faith, and his books, the “Introduction to the Devout Life” and “A Treatise of the Love of God,” helped the faithful and the lay people strengthen their devotion to God.

May writers and journalists, inspired by the life and works of St. Francis de Sales, use their craft to pursue what is good and true.

The Junior Philippine Association of Management Accountants (JPAMA) - USA held the Hiraya Manawari 2025, the 1st Management Accounting Pinning and Candle Lighting Ceremony, with the theme “Illuminating the dreams of the Management Accounting Community” at the 7th Floor, CPMT building, January 20.

The students were presented with pins that signify they are prepared and well-equipped with the skills necessary to face further work or internships that align with their field.

Hiraya Manawari, an ancient Tagalog phrase that means "Hoping for your dreams to come true," served as the event's focal point as the students transitioned from their internships and studies to becoming professionals.

“It's okay to have big dreams. But don't let them overwhelm [you]. Focus on taking one small consistent step at a time [because all] of you have so much potential. The future is yours,” said Mr. Aaron James F. Mendoza, CPA, guest speaker.

In honor of the Feast of Señor Santo Niño de Cebu, the University of San Agustin (USA) held a procession from the USA Gymnasium, followed by a Eucharistic Celebration at the University Chapel, January 19.

The mass was presided over by the director of the Campus Ministry Office, Father Julius Tubid, OSA, where in his homily, he called upon parents to take full responsibility when it comes to raising their children.

"There is a need to cater to our beloved children, so that we can be witnesses of the values and of the Holy Child, which these current generations can learn from," said Fr. Tubid.

Moreover, Dr. Veronica Dy-Liacco in an interview with USA Publications shared, "For me kasi, Señor Santo Niño represents children and about welcoming the children to the community, and as a teacher, I consider all my students are my children, which represents the essence of this celebration.”

The University of San Agustin (USA) Campus Ministry held a special gathering on January 18th in honor of Santo Niño de Cebú.

The event brought together both teaching and non-teaching staff at the USA Chapel, marking the day before the Sinulog Festival in Cebu.

Presided by Rev. Fr. Aimark P. Asor, OSA, and accompanied by Rev. Fr. Julius D. Tubid, OSA, the Campus Ministry Director and Spiritual Director of Cofradia de St. Niño de Cebu, the homily served as a reminder of the significance of Santo Niño de Cebú and how God empathizes with his children.

"The high priest that we have is one who has offered the greatest sacrifice to the Father and someone who knows how to be like us—not only to sympathize but also to empathize. [...] He does not have to fake his human frailties and weaknesses because he himself experienced walking on Earth," expressed Fr. Asor on the image of the Child Jesus.

The feast of Señor Santo Niño is a very significant celebration for Filipinos across the world as it reveals the peoples devotion to the infant Jesus. He is not only the symbol of the early stage of Jesus Christ’s life but also represents the Filipino’s optimism, purity, and modesty throughout life. This can be seen as thanksgiving by people through celebrations such as Sinulog, Dinagyang, and Ati-Atihan festivals.

For most Filipinos, the Santo Niño has become an icon of intercession and favor especially amid distress and crises. It is through him that we look for strength and wisdom to fight on even through the toughest times. This day urges us to have a continuous strong faith and hope with the guidance of the Lord.

Viva Señor Santo Niño!

Eighty-one students from the BS Psychology program of batch 2025 were recognized at their pinning and candle-lighting ceremony spearheaded by the USA Psyche Cell at the Jade Ballroom of Grand Xing Imperial Hotel, January 17.

The pinning ceremony is a traditional event that symbolizes the formal induction of students into the profession, while the candle-lighting ceremony represents the students' commitment to upholding the ethical standards and values of the field.

"In order to be successful in this field, you need to heal yourself [...] to be successful as a psychologist in the future, you must be able to shape up and it's never easy [...] It's okay to fail, it is not about them, it's all about you," emphasized Maria Lucy U. Muralla, RGC, RPm, LPT, TM, in her inspirational speech about personal growth in preparation for the next academic journey.

Faculty, family, and friends gathered to celebrate the prideful ceremony, which marked the students' transition from the theoretical aspects of their studies to the practical application of their knowledge in the field of psychology.
