CHS homecoming: The Spirit Lives On!
The College of the Holy Spirit (CHS) in Mendiola celebrated its 2017 alumnae homecoming on Feb. 5 with the theme – The Spirit Lives On!
The theme aptly describes the near closure of the school until the Mother House of the Holy Spirit Missionary Sisters (SSpS) allowed the CHS alumnae to continue the school’s operations. Indeed, the Spirit lives on! In addition, the theme also relevantly describes the alumna who continues to live as the same person molded by the Holy Spirit nuns, wherever and in whatever circumstances she may be in.
This year’s host was HS Class of 1967, the golden jubilarians of the homecoming. Marivic EustaquioAnonuevo, chaired the organizing committee.
