With hearts ready to serve and hands willing to help, school administrators, faculty, staff, and student organizations of Sacred Heart School - Ateneo de Cebu came together in the true spirit of bayanihan for Brigada Eskwela 2026. Through this meaningful outreach, they lived out their mission of forming men and women for others, sharing their time, talents, and presence with their partner communities.

Three Ateneo de Manila alumni answered the call to dedicate their lives in the service of God and His people as Rev Fr Dom Joseph B Bulan SJ, Fr Bien Emmanuel C Cruz SJ, and Fr James Augustus R Santos SJ were ordained to the Presbyterate on Saturday, 30 May 2026, at the Church of the Gesù, Ateneo de Manila University, with His Eminence Pablo Virgilio S Cardinal David, Bishop of Kalookan, as Ordaining Prelate. The date held special meaning for the newly ordained priests, as it marked exactly eleven years since they entered the Society of Jesus on 30 May 2015 — a fitting culmination of more than a decade of Jesuit formation, discernment, and service.

On 5 June 2026, Fr. Ari Dy, SJ, blessed the newly renovated spaces of the Ateneo de Naga University Junior High School as part of its 86th Founding Anniversary Celebration. These spaces include the following: St. Carlo Acutis Hall, Faculty Room Lounges, Library Discussion Rooms, and The Fr. James Reuter, SJ Mini Theater. May these spaces be avenues for learning and collaboration as AdNU-JHS continues its mission to form students who will competently serve the Faith, conscientiously promote social justice, compassionately commit to societal changes, and engage in inter-religious dialogue rooted in their love for Christ.

Fr. Ari Dy, SJ, the University President, celebrated the Thanksgiving Mass for the 86th Founding Anniversary of Ateneo de Naga University Junior High School. During the celebration, Fr. Ari also blessed the incoming Ateneo de Naga Student Government Officers (ANSGO) and moderators, as well as the newly appointed Faculty and Staff Officers.

On 3 June 2026, Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu commenced its Summer In-Service Program (SIP) for administrators, faculty, and staff. As the opening session of the program, Fr Gabriel Lamug-Nañawa, SJ was invited to facilitate a reflection on integral ecology and ecological conversion, supporting the school's continuing efforts to deepen its commitment to the Jesuit mission of reconciliation with God and creation. Using the statue Ignatius the Pilgrim as the guiding framework for his presentation, Fr. Gabby invited participants to reflect on the "winds" that challenge and shape us, the "hands" that care for our neighbors and our common home, and the "feet" that move us toward hopeful and transformative action. The session resonated with participants, offering both a spiritual and practical lens for understanding ecological responsibility. Faculty and staff were invited to see ecological conversion not simply as an environmental concern, but as a way of living that calls for deeper awareness, discernment, and care for all of God's creation. The reflection set a meaningful tone for the SIP, encouraging participants to consider how their personal and professional lives can contribute to the work of ecological conversion and action.
