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".

Happy Teachers' Day!

The teachers were in for a simple treat as CDSA prepared a special program for them. Selected students gave their teachers a relaxing massage while they watched a movie at the AVR. Afterwards, they proceeded to the gym for a special presentation prepared by the students and organized by CDSA's school Principal, Mrs. Lennie A. Montevirgen. Flowers and gifts were given at the end of the program.

Happy Teachers' Day Ma'am and Sir!
