Last Friday, August 14, 2026, our Grade 4 โ St. Lawrence, Grade 5 โ St. Sebastian, and Grade 6 โ St. Carlo Acutis gathered for a meaningful and enriching Recollection at San Isidro Labrador Chapel in Palabotan, Dupax del Sur, Nueva Vizcaya, led by Rev. Von Ryan S. Martinez.
The children were reminded of the importance of respecting everyone and valuing each personโs name, because every name is precious. They were also encouraged to never bully others and to value the love, guidance, and importance of family.
One reflection that stood out was the image of carrying two sacks: a sack of gifts and a sack of problems. When asked which was heavier, the children answered, โThe sack of problems.โ
This reminded them that even at a young age, they experience worries and challenges. But they also learned that they do not have to carry these burdens alone. With faith, hope, love, and trust in God, they can face every challenge with courage.
May they continue to grow with kindness, respect, love, and faith, knowing that God is always with them.
