Development Day | April 27, 2026

The heart of Development Week comes alive as we celebrate Development Day with the theme: “Called, Known, and Sent: Journeying as One Under the Good Shepherd.”

Held at Claret School of Quezon City, the day was filled with joy, energy, learning, and a deep sense of camaraderie. It was not only attended by the students, but also by the staff, administration, dean, and professors—truly a gathering of one Claretian community.

More than a celebration, this day is a reminder of who we are and who we are called to become. As shared by Fr. Angelito Ancla, CMF, Dean of the College, we are reminded "𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘷𝘶𝘭𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯."

These words echo deeply in the lives of every student-seminarian—guiding us not only in formation, but in becoming true servants rooted in faith, humility, and love.

Today is not just an event, but a journey we continue to walk—together, as one, under the Good Shepherd.

Day 4 | April 24, 2026

As the afternoon unfolded, melodies rose like prayers, weaving hearts together in one song by the 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙩 𝙈𝙖𝙡𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙪𝙨. The Chorale Concert became more than a showcase of talent—it was a living expression of unity, praise, and shared purpose.

Each voice, distinct yet united, echoed the spirit of being “Called, Known, and Sent: Journeying as One Under the Good Shepherd.”

And in that harmony, we found joy—
a moment to remember,
a community made stronger,
and a song that will linger long after the afternoon has passed.

With grateful hearts, we extend our sincere thanks to everyone who made this event possible—our families and friends, the apostolate youth, our dear nanays, and the students of SAMCC, dedicated staff, administration, and dean. Your presence, support, and encouragement gave life to this celebration.
