𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐃𝐎𝐔𝐁𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: 𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐄

The Marian Social Work Family proudly celebrates the 11 4th Year Social Work students as they reached a meaningful milestone through the 4th Vesting and Send-Off Ceremony held on August 22, 2026.

The celebration began with a Holy Mass at the Mary, Seat of Wisdom Chapel, followed by the formal ceremony at Calungsod Hall, Saint Mary’s University. This event marks an important step in their journey as they prepare to take on greater responsibilities and apply the knowledge and skills they have gained throughout their years in the Social Work program.

Carrying the theme, “From Doubt to Dedication: Wearing the Commitment to Serve,” the ceremony highlighted the students’ journey toward becoming future professional social workers. The vest they received represents not only their readiness to enter the field but also their commitment to uphold the values and responsibilities of the social work profession.

The event was made more meaningful through the inspiring message of our resource speaker, Ms. Mary Jane B. Garcia, who reminded the students of the importance of compassion, dedication, and genuine service. Her words served as an encouragement for them to remain committed to the profession and to carry its values wherever their journey may lead them.

Together with our Dean, Dr. Felipe V. Nantes Jr.; our Department Head, Mr. Reiner Dulawan; our Social Work instructors, Ms. Dimple Fate Pumihic, Ms. Lorna Ayudan, and Ms. Melody Lamag; and our MSWO advisers, Mr. Alfredo Julio Montoya and Mr. Jestony M. Pineda, we wish our seniors all the best as they continue their journey and commitment to serve.

May the 11 future Marian Social Workers continue to carry their commitment with courage and purpose as they take their next steps in the journey of service. Congratulations, 4th Year Social Work students! 💙🩵

From the doubts that once filled their hearts to the dedication that now drives them forward, may this ceremony mark the beginning of a deeper commitment to the calling of social work.

Join us as we witness this meaningful milestone on August 22, Saturday, from 7:30 AM to 12:00 NN at Calungsod Hall, Saint Mary’s University.

Let us come together and celebrate the future Marian Social Workers as they proudly wear the promise to serve. 💙🩵
