Be big-hearted, be fearless, and dream great dreams
Fr. Manoling Francisco, SJ
Address to the Graduates of the Ateneo de Manila Grade School Class of 2021.
Fr. Marlito Ocon, SJ
Delivered during the Mass in honor of St. Ignatius of Loyola July 26, 2020 at the Church of the Gesu, Ateneo de Manila University.
We’ve included some rich reflection pieces in the magazine for your own quiet time. The Office of Mission and Identity has generously shared with us two pieces. These are short reflections that are shared regularly with the university community, allowing everyone the time for deep discernment, and keeping the bonds of community alive while we are apart.
To put it simply, the past year has been a challenge for all of us, with everything from the way to live to how businesses are conducted turning upside down. Amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, Ateneo de Manila has continued to find ways not just to deliver academic excellence but to be at the forefront of mitigating the impact of the pandemic. This global health challenge instead has only amplified the commitment of students, faculty, staff, and alumni to roll up their sleeves and work together not only to advance COVID-19 research but keep the community safe.
