๐’๐๐„๐‚๐ˆ๐€๐‹ | To the women who became our first teachers, first mentors and the ones to have had made our homes the brightest even on the darkest of daysโ€”Happy Mother's Day.

Behind every lesson learned, every dream pursued and every strength we carry is a mother who chose to nurture us through both her happiest moments and her most difficult ones. Her love may not always arrive loudly, yet it lives in every sacrifice made quietly, in every prayer whispered softly, every reminder to keep moving forward and every act of care that shaped us into our becoming.

Long before the world began for us, theyโ€™ve already went through it and poured into us the care, perseverance and ever enduring love that they obtained through their journey whilst aiding us to better go through ours.

On this day we honor our mothers, grandmothers, guardians and mother figures who loved us without limits, stood firm with us through every storm and carried hope even when life felt too heavy. Through exhaustion and uncertainty they continued to offer warmth, guidance and courage that reached far beyond themselves.

Today and for all their years ahead let us give them all this and moreโ€”again, a blessed and Happy Motherโ€™s Day to all!

Sacred Heart College of Lucena City, Inc. (SHC), announced the implementation of a Blended Learning Modality for midyear term classes beginning May 11, 2026, as part of efforts to ease the financial burden on students amid the ongoing economic crisis. The memorandum was issued by the Vice President for Academics, Dr. Lloyd L. Alzola, PhD, on May 8, 2026.

Under the new structure, each subject will run for six consecutive days, with four online sessions and two in-person sessions. The approach aims to reduce transportation expenses while maintaining academic standards. Attendance is mandatory for both modalities, and faculty are encouraged to maximize face-to-face meetings for high-engagement activities such as examinations, laboratory work, and critical discussions.

The memorandum also clarified that all Related Learning Experience (RLE) and Laboratory Subjects and Activities will be conducted strictly in person to ensure hands-on learning. Students are further encouraged to utilize campus facilities such as the library and computer laboratories to access digital resources and support their academic requirements.

This initiative reflects SHCโ€™s commitment to balancing flexibility with essential in-person instruction, ensuring that students continue to receive quality education while adapting to current economic challenges.

[4\4] ๐”๐๐ƒ๐€๐“๐„ | DEO GRATIAS 2026 โ€œBearing Hope, Sharing Love: SHC LaMPs' Vincentian Cordian Commitment to Missionโ€

In celebration of its 142nd founding anniversary Sacred Heart College of Lucena City, Inc. held Deo Gratias 2026 which gathered the institution's community in a thanksgiving marked by faith, service and a shared mission.

The celebration commenced with registration at the SHC Lounge facilitated by the HRDO team, followed by a Eucharistic Celebration at the Sacred Heart Chapel presided over by Rev. Fr. Richmond Gerard S. Amado and led by the CVF team. Anchored on the Holy Gospel from John 14:21-26, the homily emphasized Godโ€™s presence in both trials and triumphs are often revealed through the people we journey those experiences with.

After a short transitional break, participants proceeded to the SHC Rendu Cultural Center and Gymnasium for the program proper, which opened with a processional of personnel, lay mission partners ( LaMPs ), service awardees, and retirees, led by the masters and ladies of the ceremony.

The opening prayer was led by Ms. Hazel E. San Gil & the CVF team, followed by the singing of the Philippine National Anthem and the College Hymn led by Ms. Marisel V. Sante & the AVR team. An opening dance number soon followed by the selected LaMPs and servant administrators which set the tone of the celebration.

Welcoming remarks were delivered by Sr. Rosalia T. Glorioso, DC, followed by the inspirational message of Sr. Elenit E. Soriano, DC, institution president, who highlighted the theme of grace, mission, and hope. During the program she also announced the new Institutional Organizational Chart for the Academic Year 2026-2027, symbolizing the continued commitment of the institution to leadership and mission.

The program continued with the presentation of special awards led by the Special Awards Committee, followed by the recognition of service awardees facilitated by the HRDO team. Certificates, plaques, and tokens of appreciation were awarded by Sr. Soriano, DC, with assistance from the Daughters of Charity community. Messages from the service awardees and retirees followed, including reflections from Ms. Mercedes R. Celemente, who rendered 37 years of service, and Ms. Ma. Victoria T. Dalut, who rendered 30 years of service. Ms. Clemente emphasized the value of relationships formed within the institution, noting that the people you meet and those who support you are what give meaning to every shared experience. Meanwhile, Ms. Dalut reflected on her journey by concluding her message with the song You Decorated My Life, illustrating how her initially mundane and unexpected application to SHC gradually became something meaningful and beautifully โ€œdecoratedโ€ over time. Together, they uniquely expressed their personal experiences in living out SHCโ€™s motto, โ€œWhere love is serviceโ€ feeling and filling the love during the time theyโ€™ve served.

The celebration proceeded with tribute performances, including special song and dance numbers, a tribute to the retirees, and the sending on mission to Sr. Soleded F. Espaldon, DC. The event concluded with appreciation rites, community dancing and agape fellowship activities led by the CVF team.

Deo Gratias 2026 concluded with the SHC connection reaffirming its commitment to faith, service and unity, as it moves forward grounded in its Vincentian-Cordian values.
