“Educating the heart is as necessary as educating the mind. Therefore, for learners to become moral citizens, they must be given opportunities to learn moral values. Because they not only make amazing things, but they are our today’s brightest and wisest hope. We should lead them closer to Christ through Mary. With this humble presentation through a meticulous analysis of the infancy narratives in Luke, the research unveils the rich tapestry of Mary’s characteristics that can serve as guiding beacons for educators. The study not only bridges the sacred narratives with contemporary educational contexts but also offers a compelling framework for early childhood educators to integrate Mary’s virtues into their pedagogical approaches. This exploration not only illuminates the potential transformation of teaching dynamics but also underscores the timeless relevance of Mary’s model in fostering an ethical foundation for the formative years of young learners.” – Excerpt from the paper of Sr. Anna

“Exploring the “pusô metaphor” will ultimately lead to a comprehension of the synodal nature of the church. Correlating the Cebuano’s experience with and utilization of pusô, coupled with an exploration of its cultural and biblical significance, opens up a more thorough avenue for comprehending the synodal nature of the Cebuano church. The objective is to understand the intricacies, perspectives and interpretations associated with pusô in delineating the concept of a synodal church. This involves a detailed examination and analysis of Pope Francis’ synod on synodality and its manifestation within the Archdiocese of Cebu.” – Excerpt from the paper of Mr. Jon

“A modest attempt to contribute to ongoing inquiries that seek to explore the possibility of incorporating faith-based values and style of governance into corporate frameworks through the lens of synodality. Coming form an assumption that conventional corporate structures nowadays encounter difficulties not only in adjusting to the intricacies of the contemporary business landscape but also in terms integrating virtues and values (especially those that are faith-based) in their system of governance, the research see it as an imperative to consider alternative models to carrying out corporate proceedings and business practices, such as synodality.” – Excerpt from the paper of Mr. Joie
