Meditation and Merienda Get-together for Women
All female faculty and staff are invited to the Meditation for Women at the ALB Oratory on February 12 (Wednesday) from 3:30 pm to 4:00 pm.
This monthly 30-minute meditation offers an opportunity for female employees to pause, reflect, pray, and listen to God.
Immediately after the meditation, a merienda get-together will be held at the ALB Living Room. This activity aims to build camaraderie among female employees, foster personal and professional growth, and serve as a venue for fostering initiatives (e.g., outreach activities).
For February, Fr. Cayo Estrada will talk about the Jubilee Year, following the suggestions given by female employees who attended the retreat-seminars in 2024 and the January 9 get-together.

UA&P mentors, faculty members, security personnel, school nurses, student affairs officers, and students attended the training.
