𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔: 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 💧

“𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿” reminds us of the essential role of water in sustaining life and our shared responsibility to protect and care for this precious gift of creation.

As we celebrate the Season of Creation 2026, from September 1 to October 4, the Library joins the USC community in reflecting on our responsibility as stewards of our common home.

Explore our “Living Water” Book Display featuring books that invite us to learn more about water, its importance to life, and the need to protect this vital resource.

May these resources inspire us to learn, reflect, and take meaningful steps toward caring for our shared home. 🌱💧

Happy Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Carolinians!

On this blessed day, as we celebrate the birth of Our Lady, let us offer our hearts in prayer for strength, healing, and peace. Just as Our Mother lovingly guided and nurtured our Lord Jesus, may she also wrap her protective mantle around our entire Carolinian community—keeping us safe in mind, body, and spirit, especially amidst the haze and unhealthy air quality we are currently facing.

As our preliminary examinations are ongoing, let us lift up our special intentions and ask for the powerful intercession of Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom.
May she protect our health, calm our anxious hearts, and grant us focus, clarity, and wisdom as we prepare for our examinations.

Happy Birthday, dearest Mama Mary! Pray for us and keep us safe!

Note: There will be a simultaneous Mass offering in both the USC Downtown and Talamban Campus chapels at 9:30 AM to celebrate Mama Mary’s Birthday and the 151st Founding Anniversary of SVD. We urge the Carolinian community to attend.

We mourn the passing of Dr. Resil B. Mojares, a distinguished scholar, writer, historian, and National Artist for Literature.

A treasured member of the University of San Carlos community, Dr. Mojares devoted his life to preserving and illuminating the history, literature, and cultural heritage of Cebu and the Philippines.

His legacy continues through his works and through the Resil B. Mojares Collection at the USC Library, where his donated materials remain a lasting resource for learning, research, and the preservation of our heritage.

May his words and scholarship continue to inspire generations to come.

Rest in peace, Dr. Mojares. Your legacy lives on.
