The Lasallian Mission and Student Life (LMSL) together with the Benildean student leaders, joins the other Lasallian Community from the East Luzon Cluster to celebrate World Youth Day last November 22 at the Nexus Labs in De La Salle Lipa. With the localized theme, "Young Lasallians in Haste for Others", adopting the theme "Mary arose and went with haste", the Lasallian Youth came together to honor the main event in Lisbon.

The students actively participate in fun and spiritual activities, including life-sharing insights through Vocational Sessions in the presence of Ms. Catli, National Coordinator of Lasallian Youth Philippines, and Br. Jeonel Endaya, FSC, the Assistant Directory of LEAD and Director of National Vocation Ministry.

This event promotes the identity and spirit of service of a Lasallian Youth, reflecting the commitment to service of Mary, cousin of Elizabeth.

*Alexa, play “Bro, Ikaw ang Star ng Pasko”* 🎵

While the Christmas Season is about making and reliving memories, Christmas Lanterns or “Parols” lighten up our hearts. This is the magic of the most wonderful time of the year.

Why don’t we put up this lantern and be our own Star ng Pasko?

“Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written.”
- Romans 12:19

Bibingkas and P**o Bumbong on the street after every Simbang Gabi surely bring nostalgia within our hearts. A warm and comforting symbol of the endearing togetherness shared during these nights. Through traditions like these, we become more dedicated to praying for more blessings and happiness to our families, strengthening our faith and relationship with God and our families.

Christmas is just around the corner, and so do our family gatherings. In our Christmas Tradition, we put our family and relatives the priority of our lives. However, let us not forget the true essence of Christmas - the celebration of the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

As we celebrate this joyous event, let us bring joy and happiness to one another as we slowly meet our loved ones.

Have you had your family gatherings and retreats already?
