IN PHOTOS | Ateneo de Davao University, through the Office of Pathways for Alumni Engagement, officially launched the Legacy Project: "Engaging Statue of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the Pilgrim Saint," in partnership with Ateneo de Davao High School Batch 1982 on July 26, 2026.

As HS 1982's enduring legacy project, the upcoming installation of the Statue of Saint Ignatius of Loyola at the Ateneo de Davao Senior High School Campus in Bangkal, Davao City, will stand as a lasting testament to the Ignatian ideals of faith, leadership, reflection, and service.

The statue will bear a commemorative plaque recognizing it as A Legacy Project of Ateneo de Davao University High School Batch 1982. Installed in loving memory of Nathan S. Lim, more than a monument, it will serve as a place of reflection, pause, and discernment, reminding all who visit that "life is a journey of faith—where pauses are sacred, and in every step and rest, God is present."
Representing Ateneo de Davao High School Batch 1982 were Mr. Raymond Lumantas, HS ‘82 President, Mr. Benedicto Lim Jr., HS ‘82 Treasurer, and other officers and members.

With the groundbreaking coinciding with the commemoration of the Feast of Saint Ignatius of Loyola and the 44th Anniversary of Ateneo de Davao High School Batch 1982, this legacy project reflects the enduring generosity of alumni and their shared commitment to preserving and strengthening the University's Ignatian heritage for generations to come.

With hearts renewed and spirits uplifted, we extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who journeyed with us during the 3-Day Sacred Paschal Triduum Recollection. These sacred days were made meaningful not only by reflection and prayer, but by the collective effort of a community united in faith.

Our sincerest thanks to our facilitators—Fr. Manuel J. Montesclaros, SJ; Fr. Arthur W. Nebrao, SJ; and Fr. Karel S. San Juan, SJ—for guiding us with wisdom, compassion, and grace. Your presence helped us encounter Christ more deeply in His Passion, Death, and Resurrection.

We are equally grateful to our partner offices: University Chaplain’s Office, Vice President for Administration and collaborating offices—the Physical Plant Office, Community Center of the First Companions Office, Institutional Communications and Promotions Office (ICOMMP), and University Clinic, the Ateneo de Davao University Blue Knight Association, and our hardworking Scholars. Your dedication and behind-the-scenes work made this recollection possible and seamless.

To our external partner, the Philippine National Police, thank you for ensuring our safety and security throughout the event.

And to the University Community, Alumni, and Friends—your presence, participation, and openness to this spiritual journey brought life and meaning to these sacred days.

May the grace we received continue to move us forward—living in love, walking in light, and carrying Christ in all that we do.

𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄, 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄, 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓: 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐉𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐒, 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐉𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐒 | On April 4, 2026, the Ateneo de Davao University community gathered at the Our Lady of the Assumption Chapel for the third day of the Paschal Triduum recollection, in observance of Holy Saturday.

Guided by University President Fr. Karel San Juan, SJ, we paused in the tomb's silence, contemplating the mystery of suffering—remembering how Jesus loved us to His death, what He did for love, and His assurance of constant love. We learned to unite our personal crosses with Christ's, transforming pain into redemptive hope through Spirit-filled reflections that leave us trusting in God alone, our source of joy amid life's crises.

Confession was also made available, offering a path toward renewal and grace.
