On May 31, 2026, the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity and the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, three SCJ novices made their First Religious Profession in the Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (SCJ).

The Gospel for the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time presents the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry. After the arrest of John the Baptist, Jesus withdraws to Galilee and settles in Capernaum, a place described by the prophet Isaiah as a land of darkness. It is precisely there, in an ordinary and often forgotten region, that the light of Christ begins to shine.
On the evening of October 31, 2025, the Sacred Heart Formation House in Cagayan de Oro City joyfully concluded the Month of the Holy Rosary and celebrated the Solemnity of All Saints.
The evening began at 5:45 with the recitation of the Holy Rosary. Following tradition, the seminarians prepared a Rosary made of candles, a touching symbol of light conquering darkness. After each Hail Mary, one candle was lit, forming a glowing chain of prayers around the court. The gentle light from each flame reflected the unity of many hearts praying together, creating an atmosphere of reverence and peace.
