First Wednesday Mass

Colegio de Santa Ana, with Christian Living as its core of the curriculum, celebrated the First Wednesday Mass last July 3. It was the first time for CDSA, with First Friday masses already being celebrated since the institution's founding. First Wednesday masses will be attended by the Elementary pupils, while the First Friday masses will be attended by the High School students.




The practice of (nine) First Wednesday masses is a devotion to St. Joseph, husband of Mary, guardian of Jesus.

Pistang Pasasalamat ng Lungsod ng Taguig kay Poong Ana

Viva Sta. Ana! Happy Thanksgiving Feast to our dear patroness of Taguig!



Kami'y nagpupuri't nagpupugay
Ipinagbubunyi ang iyong pangalan
Patnubay namin at buhay
Sa twina ikaw aming gabay

O Sta. Ana, Inang mapagkalinga
Sa 'yong paglingap, kami'y nakikiusap
Sana'y pakinggan mo ang aming pagtawag
Kapayapaan sa ami'y igawad

O Ina ng Birhen
O Sta. Ana naming mahal!

Feast of the Immaculate Conception

Catholics around the world celebrate the Feast of the Immaculate Conception today, December 8, 9 months before the nativity of Mary which is celebrated on September 8. As defined in the Catholic Doctrine, "Mary was preserved exempt from all stain (macula) of original sin at the first moment of her animation, and sanctifying grace was given to her before sin could have taken effect in her soul."

Students of Colegio de Santa Ana celebrated the mass in honor of the Immaculate Conception yesterday, December 7, at the CDSA Gymnasium presided by School Director Rev. Fr. Amando Litana.


The Feast of the Immaculate Conception is a Holy Day of Obligation. CDSA celebrated the mass yesterday because there are no classes today, as Taguig City is also celebrating its cityhood on this day.

Ash Wednesday

March 9 is Ash Wednesday. It marks the start of Lent. The CDSA community celebrated a Mass and ashes were imposed on their foreheads.

Ash Wednesday derives its name from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of adherents as a sign of mourning and repentance to God. The ashes used are typically gathered after the palms or Palm Crosses from the previous year's Palm Sunday are burned.


Ash Wednesday is a day of repentance and it marks the beginning of Lent. Ashes were used in ancient times, according to the Bible, to express mourning. Dusting oneself with ashes was the penitent's way of expressing sorrow for sins and faults. An ancient example of one expressing one's penitence is found in Job 42:3-6. Job says to God: "I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. The other eye wandereth of its own accord. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes." (vv. 5-6, KJV) The prophet Jeremiah, for example, calls for repentance this way: "O daughter of my people, gird on sackcloth, roll in the ashes" (Jer 6:26).The prophet Daniel pleaded for God this way: "I turned to the Lord God, pleading in earnest prayer, with fasting, sackcloth and ashes" (Daniel 9:3). Just prior to the New Testament period, the rebels fighting for Jewish independence, the Maccabees, prepared for battle using ashes: "That day they fasted and wore sackcloth; they sprinkled ashes on their heads and tore their clothes" (1 Maccabees 3:47; see also 4:39).
