The Ateneo de Naga High School Community symbolically offered aid and prayed for the victims of Typhoon Pedring and Quiel in the solemn Eucharistic celebration on October 13, 2011 at the High School Covered Courts.

Each learning group’s financial aid, collected from all the learning groups earlier during the week, was specially presented in the Offertory by respective class presidents.

The entire community also remembered and prayed for the victims in the Prayers of the Faithful. Members of the Junior Lectors Guild read the petitions for the suffering brethren in Northern and Central Luzon.

Fr. Primitivo Viray SJ, University President, was the main celebrant in the mass. In his signature antics, Fr. Viray kept the community alive with his animated explanation of the day’s Gospel reading and call for compassion for the victims of the recent calamity.

The collected amount will be forwarded to the Simbahang Lingkod ng Bayan (SLB), the socio-apostolic arm of the Society of Jesus in responding to the needs of the community.
