Strengthened by faith and united in purpose, the READS grantees came together for the READS Team Building 2026 held from April 30 to May 1, 2026 at the Villa San Ezekiel, Pansol, Laguna.

As part of the READS Recollection 2026, this culminating activity became a joyful celebration of gratitude and generosity expressed through fellowship, collaboration, and shared experiences that deepened the bonds of brotherhood and service among members.

More than just activities and moments of fun, it served as a reminder that leadership is built on trust, unity, and a willingness to give oneself for others. It was also during this meaningful gathering that the newly elected READS officers were officially proclaimed, marking the beginning of a new chapter of servant-leadership for the organization.

May this experience continue to inspire each member to lead with grateful hearts and to serve with unwavering generosity as Builders of Communion, Cooperators of the Truth, and Sowers of Hope.

In spirit of prayer, reflection, and renewal, the READS Grantees gathered for the much awaited READS Recollection 2026 held last Thursday, April 30, 2026 at the Saint Ezekiel Moreno Chapel.

Guided by Rev. Fr. James T. Bumangabang, OAR, Assisting Priest of the Minor Basilica and Parish of San Sebastian, grantees were led into a meaningful encounter with God. Reflecting on the value of gratitude for His countless blessings and the call to respond with generous hearts in service to others.

More than a moment of pause, the recollection became a time of grace, reminding each grantee that true leadership begins with a thankful heart and is sustained through selfless generosity. In living out these virtues, we continue our mission as Builders of Communion, Cooperators of the Truth, and Sowers of Hope.

May this recollection inspire us to always give thanks and to give more of ourselves in love and service to the whole Sebastinian community.

As part of the Whole READS Recollection 2026, voices were not only heard but truly encountered as Aspiring Officers courageously presented their platforms, advocacies, and visions for the READS organization during the Miting de Avance held last April 30, 2026 at the St. Magdalene of Nagasaki Audio Visual Room.

More than a campaign event, it became a time of discernment where grantees were invited to listen beyond words and reflect on the kind of servant-leadership that READS Officers are called to uphold. Through meaningful dialogue and shared aspirations, the gathering fostered a deeper sense of unity and responsibility among the grantees.

The Miting de Avance highlighted that leadership is not merely about positions, but about a commitment to be Builders of Communion, Cooperators of the Truth, and Sowers of Hope. May this Miting de Avance guide every READS member in prayerful journey together in shaping the future of our organization.
