MEMO TO: THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY
RE: ADVENT RECOLLECTION, INSTITUTIONAL CHRISTMAS GATHERING AND
DECEMBER BREAK SCHEDULE
———————————————————————————————————————
On 21 December (FRIDAY), we shall again come together as one community for the Advent Recollection and Institutional Christmas Gathering. Please refer to the schedule below:
Morning
7:00 – 8:00 AM Registration
8:00AM Advent Recollection
Speakers: Fr Patrick C Dalangin and Fr Leonilo A Dagpin, Jr
Venue: University Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Theme: “Life and Virtues Lived by Fr Francesco Palliola, SJ”
10:00 AM MASS
Main Presider and Homilist: Fr Patrick C Dalangin
11:00 AM Short break
Afternoon
12:00 PM onwards Institutional Christmas Gathering
Venue: Multi-Purpose Covered Courts 1 (MPCC 1)
I thank the organizers of these two important institutional events: the Campus Ministry Office and the Formation Team, the Human Resource Administration and Development Office, and the Junior High School Unit.
In view of this, the last day of classes for the Basic Education and Higher Education units shall be on December 20 (THURSDAY). Since December 24, 25, 31 and January 1 are already government-mandated non-working holidays, I am declaring the following as non-working days for the AdZU community: December 26- 29 and January 2-5.
Thus, from December 22 to January 05, the University Policy on Campus Lockdown/Shutdown shall take effect. This means the buildings will be locked down, utilities will be shut-off, and entry into the campus will be restricted only to those with written permission from the President. Requests for exemptions should be approved by the requesting party’s unit/office head. For necessary University operations, I ask the office heads (especially Finance Office, HRADO, PPO and CITS) to work out a limited office and working schedule.
Work and classes in all levels will resume on MONDAY, 07 January 2019. The PPO personnel, however, will be asked to report on Saturday, 05 January 2019 to prepare for the re-opening of classes and work at the Fr Salvador and Fr Kreutz campuses.
As we celebrate the Christmas season, let us continue to pray for healing of those suffering from illnesses, the conversion of those afflicted with societal ills, and for unity and peace in our city and country.
I thank the community for your continued support and cooperation and wish you a blessed and restful long break from work and classes with your loved ones and families.

University President
