Last Thursday, our External Relations Officer, Ms. Hazeline Gabriel, together with Mrs. Chrisma Joy Santos and Bro. Ronnel Tiu, SDB, attended a meeting with Ms. Vicky of the Gado & Jalandoni Foundation. The meeting took place in Assi Hall, located in the Prestige Tower, Ortigas Center, Pasig City. The purpose of the meeting was to update and inform all partners about the foundation's current activities and future plans.

On the Feast of the Assumption, the EPC community celebrated with a Mass led by Fr. Rolo Alcasid, SDB, Rector of Don Bosco San Jose. A key moment was the solemn promise of student leaders and a blessing for the Lay Mission Partners. Following Mass, trainees celebrated with a communal meal featuring "Lutong Pinoy" dishes with native chicken.

The afternoon kicked off the Don Bosco Cup 2025 with a lively parade. Eight teams introduced their muses and escorts. The celebration concluded with the crowning of Mr. DB Cup 2025 from the Red Team and Ms. DB Cup 2025 from the Brown Team. This event provided a memorable experience for the trainees, enriching their 15-month stay and adding a joyful core memory to their time at Don Bosco, much like the joy Mary brought to Elizabeth.

Last June 9-11, the Lay Mission Partners(LaMPs) of Don Bosco San Jose had their Retreat and Relaxation’s at Zambales. The retreat was given by Fr. Adnan Alfred, SDB the spiritual moderator of the institution. He allowed the LaMPs to reflect and affirmed one another of the goodness inside of them. It also a relaxation time for them after a year of work and start a fresh before the school year.

Currently, the Bosconians and their parents are participating in a Lenten recollection led by Fr. Rolo for the parents and Ms. Lee-ann Rosal for the Bosconians. It is a fulfilling and effective way to prepare for the upcoming Lenten season.
