SHS-Ateneo de Cebu to hold Christmas fair
The Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu will hold its annual Christmas fair on Sunday, Nov. 27, at the school campus in barangay Canduman, Mandaue City.
This year’s theme is “Jesus ignites the hero in me.”
The fair is an annual activity that seeks to raise funds for the benefit of surrounding communities and institutions. Last year’s fair raised funds that reached 1,402 families and 15 institutions.
In his message to the community, SHS-Ateneo de Cebu president Fr. Manuel Uy, S.J., called on all to share their blessings.
“Christmas is that time of the year when we recall God’s ultimate love for us by giving us His Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior. In response to His love, we are encouraged to share our blessings with the less fortunate members of our society through our annual Christmas fair,” Fr. Uy said.
The fair will include games, music, rides, bazaar and other surprises.
The day will start with a Mass at 8 a.m. A program featuring Christmas presentations of students from the Early Education Department and grades 1 to 3 will follow the Mass at 9 a.m.
The game booths will open at 9:30 a.m.
Other activities include a photo exhibit at the grand lobby, a Christmas musical concert at the Little Theater and a program featuring presentations from grades 4 to fourth year high school students.
Also included is a basketball exhibition game between the school faculty and staff team and parents.
The Christmas fair has become the annual event that brings the SHS-Ateneo de Cebu community together to have fun and raise funds.
Students bring their families, relatives and friends to also join in the celebration.
