"Retreat: A pause to reflect, reconnect, and recharge."

Last April 8-12, and 15-17, 2024, CCSTAI conducted a two-day retreat for the graduating students (Grades 6,10, and 12). The said activity took place at Bethlehem Sogod, Bacacay Albay, and El Retiro Retreat House Cabid-an, Sorsogon City.

The retreat offered the students a unique environment to reflect on their personal goals, values, and beliefs away from the usual pressures of academic life. This activity helped them gain deeper self-awareness, and self-understanding, fostered reflection, and experienced meaningful encounters with the Lord.

This event reflects the school’s dedication to the spiritual and holistic development of its students at CCSTAI. We are deeply grateful to Sr. Lorily Agoho, FMIJ, for her expert guidance as the retreat’s facilitator, whose wisdom impacted all who attended.

We also express our thanks to the FMIJ sisters—Sr. Riza Anajao, Sr. Juliana Arcega, Sr. Josephine Cimafranca, and Sr. Araceli Aguirre—for their constant support and vital contributions to the retreat's success.

We appreciate the significant participation of the following individuals in the retreat's mass and confession sessions:

- Bishop Lucilo Quiambao

- Msngr. Cris Bernarte

- Father Christian Bosita

- Father Adam Dala, OFM

Our gratitude extends to the advisers of the graduating students, whose commitment and effort played a crucial role in ensuring this event was both meaningful and memorable.

Thank you all for your dedication to guiding our students through this important experience in their educational journey.
