Happy Feast Day St. Anne!

Colegio de Santa Ana joins the Taguigueños in celebration of the feast of "pintakasi" St. Anne, mother of Mary.

Taguig has a rich culture and tradition especially in celebrating feast days. The highlight of today's festivities is the River Festival-a fluvial parade, followed by a procession wherein the crowd is also encouraged to dance. A few days ago, street dances and field demonstrations were showcased as tribute to Taguig's most beloved patron saint.


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

"O Santa 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 Santa Ana naming mahal!"

Happy Fiesta to all!

Feast of the Immaculate Conception

The faithful celebrates the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8, 9 months before the nativity of Mary which is celebrated on September 8. But the Liturgical celebration for the feast was held today, December 9, because December 8 fell on a Sunday (2nd Sunday of Advent). 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."

December 8 also marks the Cityhood of Taguig.

Solemnity of Christ the King

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of Christ the King of the Universe, the last Sunday of the Catholic Liturgical Year. Next week, the ultimate Christmas countdown begins.

Viva Cristo Rey!


Pope Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King in 1925, in response to growing nationalism and secularism. In Pope John XXIII's 1960 revision of the Calendar, the date and title remained the same and, in the new simpler ranking of feasts, it was classified as a feast of the first class.

In his 1969 motu proprio Mysterii Paschalis, Pope Paul VI gave the celebration a new title: "D. N. Iesu Christi universorum Regis" (Our Lord Jesus Christ King of the Universe). He also gave it a new date: the last Sunday in the liturgical year, before a new year begins with the First Sunday in Advent, the earliest date for which is 27 November. Through this choice of date "the eschatological importance of this Sunday is made clearer". He assigned to it the highest rank, that of "Solemnity".
