“𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻'𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲.”

These words from 𝐏𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐬 reflects the soul of his leadership and his vision for the Catholic Church. 𝐉𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐨, was born in 𝐁𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐬 𝐀𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬, 𝐀𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐚. He was dubbed as the “𝐒𝐥𝐮𝐦 𝐏𝐨𝐩𝐞” 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐥𝐨 𝐊𝐢𝐤𝐨”. Pope Francis was known for his humility, compassion, and his endless dedication to the marginalized people.

Pope Francis was elected as pope on 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟏𝟑, 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟑. Since then, he has continuously challenged the Church and our world to become more inclusive and equal. He took courageous steps in building a Church for everone, specifically in embracing the LGBT+ community, promoting equality for every gender, and encouraging the participation of women in leadership.

He was also an advocate for environmental responsibility. Through his 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐢', he has made care for our planet through this encyclical. He promoted a Church that really prioritizes simplicity, service, and dignity, rather than power and privilege.

Pope Francis is more than just a religious figure, he is a global symbol of hope and change, while also reminding that everyone's faith must be guided with inclusivity and love.

"When we speak, we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak."
— Audre Lorde🗣✨️

Meet Coach Sophia Belcena — a passionate educator and volleyball coach whose journey started with a simple spark and grew into a life-changing mission. From being invited to coach at St. Jude Parish School to becoming a full-fledged teacher, Coach Pia discovered her love for mentoring and guiding students. Her strong personality and openness about her gender identity have helped her connect deeply with the youth she teaches. In her words, being a le***an gave her the strength and empathy to understand and support her students better. In a school environment that embraces diversity, Coach Pia thrives not just as a teacher, but as a role model for genuineness and resilience.

Beyond the classroom and the volleyball court, Coach Pia is a powerful voice for gender equality. Having faced gender-related challenges and discrimination herself, she uses her experiences to inspire change. With the unwavering support of her family, friends, and fellow educators, she continues to champion a future where inclusivity and freedom of expression are the norms—not the exceptions. Coach Pia envisions a world where no one is judged based on gender, and where every individual can shine in their truest form. Her story is a testament to the power of embracing one’s identity and using it to spark positive transformation in others.🩷✨️

"𝖨 𝖺𝗆 𝗇𝗈𝗍 𝖺𝖿𝗋𝖺𝗂𝖽... 𝖨 𝗐𝖺𝗌 𝖻𝗈𝗋𝗇 𝗍𝗈 𝖽𝗈 𝗍𝗁𝗂𝗌."— Saint Joan of Arc

𝖲𝗍. 𝖩𝗈𝖺𝗇 𝗈𝖿 𝖠𝗋𝖼, an ordinary peasant girl from a propertied peasant family, began hearing and experiencing divine callings at a young age—instructing her to save France from the English domination.

Despite being a young woman in a world where women were often silenced and overlooked, St. Joan of Arc remained firm in her convictions and brave until the very end of her life, regardless of all the skepticisms she received.

Her remarkable life serves as significant inspiration for us all; she demonstrates that true strength lies within the steadfast faith and the bravery to pursue one's purpose, regardless of age, gender, or even the obstacles we may come across. In the same way St. Joan of Arc overcame the impossible with her unwavering faith, may we find the same resilience to conquer the challenges ahead and move forward fearlessly, embracing our power and purpose in every aspect of our lives—no matter our gender.

"To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity." – Nelson Mandela⚖️🤍

End Racism Day, observed on March 21st, is a global reminder of the ongoing fight against racism and the need for racial equality. Established by the UN, it promotes justice, inclusivity, and awareness of racism’s harmful effects. The day highlights the importance of addressing prejudice, knock down systemic discrimination, and ensuring equal access to education, healthcare, and employment. It also encourages discussions on the history and consequences of racism while advocating against hate speech and violence.

Beyond raising awareness, End Racism Day fosters education, community engagement, and solidarity. It encourages individuals, communities, and leaders to celebrate progress, amplify marginalized voices, and work toward a more inclusive society. While advancements have been made, achieving full equality requires continuous effort, cooperation, and a shared commitment to justice and diversity.✨️🩷
