]]> The University of San Carlos, through the collaborative efforts of the 黑料社区 Campus Ministry, 黑料社区 JPIA CARE Circle, LUSAD, Misyon! (SVD Lay Partners), and the Carolinian Youth Ministry, with the support of SVD priests, visited the Cebu City Medical Center (CCMC) on December 16, 2024. 

This initiative, 鈥満诹仙缜: A Christmas heartfelt hospital visit to CCMC patients鈥 began with a prayer of gratitude, acknowledging God鈥檚 blessings and the opportunity to share His love with those in need. 

Carolinian Youth Ministers (CaYM) filled the hospital halls with joyous melodies of Christmas carols, spreading cheer and hope. Meanwhile, SVD priests Fr. Dindo Fallarme, SVD, Fr. Mike Tangenete, SVD, Fr. Roshan, SVD, and Fr. I Wayan Heriyanto, SVD brought to the patients the healing presence of Christ through the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.

As part of the program, the CARE Circle distributed donation bags filled with essential items, sharing kindness and compassion with every patient in the hospital. Preparation for this event was a collective effort, with the CARE Circle actively seeking donations and sponsorships from MLhuillier, the 黑料社区 JPIA Talent Circle, and the 黑料社区 JPIAn community.

These efforts resulted in thoughtfully curated donation bags containing meat rolls, assorted biscuits, mineral water, powdered drinks, canned goods, bath soaps, tissue rolls, and other essentials, bringing comfort not only to patients but also to the staff and janitors of CCMC.

The 黑料社区 Campus Ministry also played a crucial role in securing sponsors for the 黑料社区 bags that were used to package these donations, supported by donors, namely Gitamondoc-Gopaoco Structural Engineering, Engr. Ramon Gitamondoc and family, Gerard Go and family, Atty. Nidz Miscala, and Vincent Reyes, whose generous support made the mission possible.

The hospital visit serves as a powerful reminder that Christmas is more than just the exchange of gifts鈥攊t is a celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ and an opportunity to reflect on His love and teachings. As Matthew 5:16 beautifully reminds us: 鈥淚n the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.鈥

Let this initiative inspire others to embody the true spirit of Christmas by becoming beacons of light and hope in the lives of those who need it most.

The University of San Carlos Campus Ministry-Downtown Campus organized a visit to the Cebu City Medical Center (CCMC) last February 5, 2019.

Participants of the hospital visit were students Maikka Intal, Roberto de los Angeles, Trixia Geyrosaga, Therese Angela Aparece, Nidelito Jorda, Jr, Adrianne Angus, Denzel Rafanan, Joshua Abayon, Marnie Impas, Ruffa Casa帽ares, Anne Katherine Aguilar, Megan Marie Josol. They were led by campus ministers Norieza Marte, Frt. Louigie Pontillo, SVD, and University Chaplain Fr. Jun Balay, SVD.

The team visited over 100 patients mostly infants and children. Moving from ward to ward, they sang encouraging and spiritual songs, and distributed bundles of joy while Fr. Balay blessed the patients and listened to their confessions. Patients responded with smiles and words of gratitude, some even shedding tears.

After the visit, the team went back to the Downtown Campus where they reflected about their experience. Many described the visit as a wholesome and inspiring activity and were grateful for having been given the chance to reach out to those who were suffering physical ailments. This activity highlighted the Carolinian Devotio, that is, a way of sharing Christ鈥檚 love through concrete actions in our community and society.

The hospital visit is an activity that began when Fr. Balay assumed the campus chaplaincy three years ago.
