🌱 Growing Hope, One Seed at a Time

In celebration of the Season of Creation (September 1–October 4, 2026), our Preschool to Grade 3 Paracletans joyfully expressed their love and gratitude for God's beautiful creation through a meaningful vegetable planting activity.

Using recycled empty soft drink bottles as plant containers, our young learners planted vegetable seeds and made a heartfelt commitment to care for them faithfully until harvest time. Through this simple yet meaningful experience, they discovered that caring for creation begins with small acts of love, responsibility, and hope.

Good job, Young Paracletans! May you continue to grow as faithful stewards of God's gifts, living our mission of forming hearts and transforming lives.

"Contemplating creation and its Creator should lead people to recognize their responsibility for protecting it."
-Pope Leo XIV

ADVISORY FOR PRESCHOOL PARENTS AND GUARDIANS

Health Break for Preschool

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Come, Holy Spirit!

With the health and well-being of our youngest Paracletans as our priority, we are granting a Health Break for all Preschool pupils from September 22 to 25, 2026.

This decision was made after noting that several preschoolers, together with their two class teachers, are experiencing cough, colds, and fever. We hope that this short period of rest will allow everyone to recover well and help prevent the further spread of illness within the classroom.

Preschool classes will resume their regular school schedule next week, while the other grade levels will be observing their Second Mid-Quarter Examinations, Educational Trip, and scheduled rest days.

Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and continued support. Let us keep our children, their families, and our teachers in our prayers, asking the Lord to bless them with healing, strength, and good health.

May God bless you and your family always.

In recent years, neuroscientists have used advanced brain imaging technology to study the effects of prayer and meditation—and the results are remarkable.

Multiple peer-reviewed studies show that regular prayer:

🔸 Increases gray matter in brain regions linked to attention, emotional regulation, and empathy (Harvard Medical School research)
🔸 Decreases activity in the amygdala, reducing fear, anxiety, and stress responses
🔸 Strengthens the prefrontal cortex, improving focus, compassion, and moral decision-making
🔸 Creates brain patterns similar to those experienced in deep love and bonding

A landmark study from the University of Pennsylvania (led by Dr. Andrew Newberg) using SPECT scans on Franciscan nuns during prayer showed increased blood flow to attention and language centers, along with decreased activity in the parietal lobe (associated with sense of self), consistent with feelings of oneness with God.

Other research published in journals like Frontiers in Psychology and JAMA Psychiatry confirms that contemplative prayer and meditation can reshape neural pathways, offering measurable benefits for mental health, resilience, and emotional well-being.

This beautifully aligns with the Catholic understanding that prayer is transformative — not just spiritually, but even physically.

As St. Paul reminds us:

“Be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” (Romans 12:2)

Prayer is a powerful gift that renews us from the inside out.

💙 Our Hearts Dance with Pride

Not every victory is measured by a trophy. Sometimes, the greatest achievement is the courage to step onto the stage, give your whole heart, and represent your community with grace.

Our heartfelt appreciation goes to our Paracletan Dancers for proudly representing PRISAAB in the LITMUS LAPPRISADA competition. Your discipline, dedication, and joyful spirit reflected the true beauty of being a Paracletan. More than the performance itself, you witnessed to the values of Simplicity, Sincerity, and Service in the way you supported one another and gave your very best.

Whether we bring home medals or not, we celebrate something far more lasting: the character you have built, the friendships you have strengthened, and the confidence to use your God-given talents for His greater glory.

As St. Paul reminds us:

“Whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.”
— 1 Corinthians 10:31

Thank you to our dedicated coach, supportive parents, and everyone who journeyed with our dancers. Your encouragement made this experience meaningful.

Congratulations, Paracletan Dancers! We are incredibly proud of you. Keep dancing, keep growing, and continue sharing your God-given talents.
