"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace."

Today, we honor the life of St. Francis of Assisi, a humble servant of God who exemplified simplicity, peace, and care for all of creation. His compassion for the poor, devotion to the Gospel, and deep reverence for nature remind us of God’s presence in everything around us.

May the example of St. Francis encourage us to act with compassion, gratitude, and respect toward all people and all living things.

Happy Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi!

This Saturday, we enjoin our Lourdesian masters and formators to wear WHITE in advocacy of good governance, transparency, and accountability in light of recent events.

We stand in solidarity with the Archbishop of Manila, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), the Ecclesiastical Territories, and the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP) in their call for renewal and moral transformation.

May the Blessed Virgin of Lourdes continue to light our path as the Morning Star, she who was never corrupted by sin: our sovereign Queen, our loving Mother, and our sure Help!

What if your classroom felt like an epic game—filled with meaningful choices, creative challenges, and a supportive community where failure isn’t feared, but embraced as a vital part of the learning journey?

In his dynamic and practical book "Level up your classroom", educator Jonathan Cassie explores the power of gamification—an innovative teaching approach that’s transforming K–12 education. Just like in the best games, gamified learning inspires students to be persistent, creative, and resilient. They experiment, take risks, and build lasting knowledge through active engagement, fostering a deeper understanding and a lifelong love of learning.

The Instructional Media Center, in partnership with Scholastic Philippines and in collaboration with the English area of the Grade School Department, successfully conducted the Scholastic Orientation and Reading Campaign for students at the St. Francis of Assisi Theater on July 31, 2025.
