The Ateneo de Zamboanga University’s Alumni homecoming kicked off today, November 29, with the Jubilarians’ Mass officiated by Fr Errol Nebrao, SJ of the silver jubilarians’ batch (HS 94) with the Jesuit community in full force, at the University Church of the Sacred Heart chapel, at the Salvador campus in La Purisima St, this city.
Following the Eucharistic celebration was the switching on of the lights of the Christmas tree at the Bellarmine Campion Centennial grounds. This was followed by the neon-themed parade around town, and culminated with the welcome program and fellowship night at the backfield.
Conrado Balatbat, director of the Alumni Relations Office is enjoining all AdZU alumni, especially jubilarians, to come “home to the nest” and participate in the activities slated for this year’s homecoming.
