“Subject: Loyola Schools Christmas Fellowship and Gift
My warm greetings to you on the occasion of the 145th Anniversary of the Ateneo!
Christmas is a time to thank God for His many blessings to each one of us and to our Ateneo community. This year, we shall celebrate His coming and our thanksgiving by sharing with our brothers and sisters who were devastated by the recent typhoons. Our Christmas Fellowship will be a simple but meaningful celebration of coming together as one community… This will be followed by a very simple merienda in the Bellarmine Field.
We will be donating what we normally spend for the Multi-Sectoral Christmas Party and the Faculty Get-Together to the rehabilitation work for the typhoon victims through Task Force Noah.
I would like to thank our faculty members, professionals and staff who
requested that the allocation for their traditional Christmas gift from the Loyola Schools be given to the typhoon victims.
The Deans and I look forward to seeing you at our Christmas Fellowship … and we wish you and your loved ones a blessed and joyous Christmas and God’s graces in the New Year.”
