SMAC FAMILY DAY 2026 💙👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

“One Marian Family, growing together in Faith and Unity”

Dear Marian Families, mark your calendars for March 7, 2026 as we celebrate SMAC Family Day 2026! This special gathering is more than just a day of fun; it is a meaningful opportunity for us to strengthen the bond that unites us as one Ignacian Marian community.

Spearheaded by our ever-active GPTA–EXECOM Officers, under the leadership of their President, Mrs. Moonyeen Ondiano, this celebration reflects the strong partnership between the school and our Marian families in nurturing our learners holistically.

Family Day reminds us that education is not only formed inside the classroom but also nurtured through the love, support, and presence of our families. Your participation shows our learners that parents and guardians are active partners in their growth, faith formation, and school life.

Let us come together to celebrate friendship, unity, and gratitude for the blessings we share as one Marian community. Through our presence, we strengthen our connection, create joyful memories, and continue to cultivate the spirit of faith, excellence, and humble service.

We warmly encourage all Marian families to be present, participate, and celebrate this day of togetherness. Your presence truly matters. See you there!

February 27 | SMAC Way of the Cross

In observance of the Fridays during this Lenten season, the St. Mary’s Academy of Carmen community gathers today for the Way of the Cross, a sacred journey of reflection, repentance, and renewed love.

As Ignacian Marians, we walk with Jesus in His suffering, remembering that every fall, every pain, and every sacrifice speaks of a love that saves. May this devotion lead us to deeper humility, sincere conversion, and compassionate hearts for others.

In silence and prayer, we unite our intentions, offering our struggles, hopes, and thanksgiving, trusting that beyond the cross is the promise of resurrection.

Let us pray:
Lord Jesus, as we journey with You today, teach us to carry our crosses with faith and courage.
Give us hearts that forgive, hands that serve, and spirits that trust in Your mercy.
May this Lenten season transform us to become true witnesses of Your love.
Amen.

February 25, 2026 | SMAC Ignacian Marian Commemoration: The 40th Anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution

EDSA at 40: Ignacian Hearts for the Nation 🇵🇭
Never again. Never forget!

Here's the flow of our program today, February 25, 2026 at SMAC Gymnasium.

24/02/2026

Forty years later, the flame of faith and freedom still burns with unwavering light. 🔥

As we commemorate the 40th anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution, we celebrate the Ignacian Heart—a heart deeply rooted in service and one that beats tirelessly for justice, peace, and the Filipino people.

We don't just look back at the history of 1986; we carry its vital lessons into the present. It serves as a powerful reminder that when we move as one, our collective faith can move mountains and transform a nation. Let us honor this legacy by rekindling the spirit of unity and truth in our daily lives, ensuring that the hope of EDSA continues to illuminate our path toward a brighter future. 🇵🇭
