On September 13, Pasay City National Science High School held a mass to commemorate the memorial of Saint John Chrysostom, Bishop and Doctor of the Church, with Rev. Fr. Edgardo C. Coroza as the presiding priest.

The mass followed with the beginning of Introductory Rites, followed by the Liturgy of the Word, the Liturgy of the Eucharist, and finishing with the Concluding Rites.

While the mass was ongoing, non-Catholic students gathered at the school canteen for a worship service organized by Every Nation Campus.

After the mass, the school launched the start of National Teachers’ Month, which will feature month-long activities to honor and appreciate educators.

The theme of this year’s celebration is “Together4Teachers,” with the opening program beginning with an audiovisual presentation of the previous Teachers’ Day celebration.

Dr. Familaran gave a message emphasizing that gifts for teachers are appreciated, yet the most important gift students can offer is respect.

SSLG President Sofia Yamamoto also delivered a message, outlining both current and upcoming activities for National Teachers’ Month.

The event featured a performance by selected Grade 11 students and concluded with a photo opportunity for the teachers.
