On 31 July 2026, we joyfully celebrated the Dedication Anniversary of the University Church, a day of thanksgiving for this sacred space that continues to gather us in faith, prayer, and mission. During the Mass, we also launched the Church of the Gesù's 25th Anniversary Series, marking the beginning of a five-year journey of thanksgiving, reflection, and celebration on the church's silver jubilee. 📸 Photos by Whenzy Quijano The Church of the Gesù

Aside from serving as Pastor and Parochial Vicar of Maria Reyna sa Langit ug sa Yuta Parish in Zamboanguita, Bukidnon, Fr. Kenzlee Ybañez, SJ also serves as School Director of St. Therese School of Miarayon in Talakag, approximately 110 kilometers away. Fr. Bien Cruz, SJ, meanwhile, serves as Chaplain of the Apu Palamguwan Cultural Education Center in Sitio Bendum, assisting Fr. Pedro Walpole, SJ. Inspired by Laudato Si''s call to listen to, learn from, and uphold the dignity of Indigenous communities, both schools accompany Indigenous learners from the Talaandig and Pulangiyen peoples. Through culturally responsive education, respect for Indigenous identity and wisdom, and holistic formation, the Jesuit mission continues to walk alongside these communities in hope and solidarity. These three Jesuits—Frs. Pedro Walpole, Kenzlee Ybañez, and Bien Cruz—share a common mission received from the Society of Jesus and ultimately from the Lord: to accompany Indigenous communities through education, pastoral ministry, and friendship. Together with dedicated teachers, staff, parents, and community leaders, they seek to nurture young people who are deeply rooted in their culture, committed to caring for our common home, and inspired to become leaders in the service of their own communities. #JoinTheJesuits

𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙤𝙤𝙣: 𝙁𝙋𝙅𝘼𝘼 On the feast of St Ignatius Loyola, 31 July 2026, the Filipino representatives to the 11th Congress of the World Union of Jesuit Alumni (WUJA) held in Yogyakarta agreed in principle to form the FPJAA (Federation of Philippine Jesuit Alumni Associations) in order to formally participate in the WUJA.

On the Solemnity of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Jesuit candidates, novices, scholastics, and brothers in Metro Manila gathered together with their formators for the annual Scholastics and Brothers' Circle (SBC) Sportsfest. Organized by the SBC Core Team of the Jesuit Conference of Asia Pacific, the event brings the communities together to build friendship, strengthen community spirit, and enjoy healthy competition. 🏀🏐⚽🏸 With the theme “Witnessing to Hope,” this year’s SBC Sportsfest reminds Jesuits of their call to journey together in faith and bear witness to hope in a world often marked by division and uncertainty. St. Ignatius of Loyola, pray for us. 🙏🏽 Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam! #JoinTheJesuits
