GRADE 10 DIVINIANS EMBARK ON SPIRITUAL JOURNEY AT DON BOSCO
LAWAAN, TALISAY CITY – As they prepare to conclude their four-year Junior High School journey, the Grade 10 students of Divino Amore Academy (DAA) held their solemn retreat at the Don Bosco Lawaan Retreat House. The spiritual formation was divided into two batches: the All-Boys session on March 13–14, followed by the All-Girls session on March 20–21.
The overnight retreat, facilitated by retreat master Kuya Ike Abastillas, served as a sacred space for the "Moving Up" candidates to reflect on their JHS life. Through his guidance in various sharing sessions and prayers, students looked back at four years of laughter, tears, and the unbreakable friendships formed within the Divinian walls.
Beyond nostalgia, the event focused on spiritual growth and self-discovery. The quiet atmosphere of Don Bosco allowed the students to meditate on their personal experiences—both good and bad—using them as stepping stones for the next chapter of their lives.
"This is our preparation for moving up," one student shared. "It’s a time to know ourselves deeper and offer everything back to God."
As they head toward graduation, these Grade 10 students carry with them not just academic lessons, but a strengthened spirit and a heart full of unforgettable memories.
