FIRST SEMESTER
IN REVIEW << Jay B. Gargaceran
The Loyola School of Theology community formally celebrated the beginning of the academic year 2012-2013 with the traditional Mass of the Holy Spirit at the Oratory of Saint Ignatius of Loyola on June 20, 2012. Father Genaro Diwa, Executive Secretary of the Episcopal Commission on Liturgy of the Catholic Bishopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Conference of the Philippines (CBCP-ECL) and LST professor of liturgy, was the main presider and homilist. In his homily, Father Diwa shared his insights on the Gospel of the Annunciation, especially on how the Holy Spirit created transformation through a simple woman with a pure and open heart. He exhorted the community to be open to the gifts of the Holy Spirit as the new academic year begins. The Mass was followed by an acquaintance party for the faculty, students, and guests at the Cardinal Sin Center.
