As part of the SSC centennial
activities, a Prayer Camp entitled "Growing the Benedictine Way,"
was conducted by the School of Music. Students from all
levels stayed overnight from Oct. 1-2, 2005 for self
reflection, listening to inspirational talks and bit of
camaraderie.
The Mass opened
the line-up of activities for the event with
Fr. Anselm Manalastas,
OSB giving a homily on the essence of the liturgy,
|
with the
musician-students playing their part in setting the mood for the
celebrations with their voices and instruments. This was
followed by a "Pasasalamat sa Pamamagitan ng Awit," a
lighthearted expression of gratitude in song, offered by the students
to the ever loyal and dedicated manongs and manangs of
the department. SSC President Sr.Angelica Leviste, OSB, was then
called on to give a summary of the life of
St. Benedict and the values that Benedictine students need to espouse
in their lives.
|
With the intent
of fostering closeness among the students, a time for fun was also
devoted in the form of games, some of which highlighted the
participants' musical creativity, and of mastering Benedictine
songs with actions. As the activities neared 3:00 in the morning,
music faculty member Ms. Nelia Mitra gave her personal insights on
the Rosary, while Sisters Agnella Capili, OSB and Angeline Arceo,
OSB led the prayers
and gave the
students a first-hand account of the
lauds, which marked the start of a new day. As soon
|
|
First Module Speaker Fr. Anselm Manalastas, OSB |
as the final
prayers were being offered, breakfast was served, concluding the
overnight affair.

weeks ago, the students held their second Music Quiz, where they
battled out each other in subjects such as Music Theory, History,
Repertoire and Education.
