Cheers to a night filled with laughter, memories, and meaningful connections.
Our MPCO Year-End Party was not just a celebration—but a reminder of how beautiful it is to end the year surrounded by people who make the journey lighter and brighter.

We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to the SMU Guidance and Testing Office family, Sir Reiner Dulawan, Ma'am Jemily Blanca Nicolas, MPC alumni, and other sponsors for their continuous support. Thank you for making this night more special and meaningful!

Here’s to growth, gratitude, and greater moments ahead with MPCO ✨

As the year comes to an end, let's come and celebrate our shared journey. Get ready for a night of fun, games, and memories!

See you, Kapeerkadas!

"Psychological First Aid (PFA) is more than a skill, it is a compassionate response that helps reduce stress in times if crisis."

Last Wednesday (November 19), the MPCO conducted their 2nd intensive training for PFA. The MPC members did not only gain basic knowledge about PFA, but also learned the essential and basic skills through role playing and simulation.

Together, the Marian Kapeerkadas are now prepared as psychological first aiders, ready to serve with calmness, empathy, and compassion!

📌ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Due to the typhoon and for everyone's safety, the scheduled PFA Training on Wednesday (November 12) will be moved to next Wednesday, November 19.

Stay safe and dry, KaPeerkadas!

And just like that, the STEH Week's Kapeerkada Store is officially closed! We extend our deepest gratitude to all who supported our pop up store for the past few days. We hope that we made you happy through our products!

Thank you, STEHdents, and see you, SHANSmates!

In consideration of PAGASA’s latest advisory on Super Typhoon Uwan, Saint Mary’s University has suspended work and face-to-face classes for Basic Education and Higher Education on Saturday, November 8, 2025 and Monday, November 10, 2025 to ensure the safety of the community.

Graduate Studies classes may proceed asynchronously.

Everyone is advised to take necessary precautions, stay updated with official weather announcements, and keep communication lines open. The safety and well-being of our Marian community remains our top priority.

Are you ready to learn essential life-saving skills and make a difference?

The Marian Peer Counselors Organization (MPCO) invites you to a Psychological First Aid Training this November 12, 2025 (Wednesday), 7:30–11:30 AM at the Guidance Testing Office (GTO). In this training, you’ll learn how to stay calm in stressful situations, listen with empathy, and offer the right kind of support when someone’s struggling emotionally or mentally.

Let’s continue being the helping hands and listening hearts that bring light in times of need.

See you, KaPeerkadas!
