IHMCI Marks Mama Mary's Birthday with Faith and Charity
BY RICHELLE ONDILLO mmaculate Heart of Mary College Inc. celebrated the birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary on September 8-9, with activities that combined devotion and generosity.
As part of the celebration, the school launched the "Cans of Charity” initiative, which were distributed to students from Grade 3 to Grade 12 and entrusted to class presidents. The initiative aims to encourage students to share their blessings for the benefit of those in need.
As a teacher, I felt truly blessed to witness our school's devotion during the celebration. The Mass, the offerings, and the spirit of generosity shown by the students were not just traditions, but living lessons of faith and unity.

Mrs. Ewarata also shared, What touched me most was seeing our students turn simple gestures— like flowers, cakes, and cupcakes, into powerful acts of faith. Their sincerity reminded us resture that true devotion is shown not only in prayer, but also in kindness and compassion.
Before the Holy Mass, flowers were sold in the waiting area by the Luisas club. These flowers, later offered during the Mass, served as symbols of love and devotion to Mama Mary.
Selling the flowers was not just a task- it felt like helping students express their prayers and love for Mama Mary in a simple yet meaningful way.
Shared by the Luisitas club moderator, Mrs. Shiela Yanson.
The event highlighted not only the school community's deep devotion to the Blessed Mother, but also its commitment to living out her example of compassion and generosity.
