DAKILA ANG NAGPAPAKUMBABA KATULAD NG ISANG BATA | Viva Pit Señor! 🙏✨

Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Señor Santo Niño, reminding us of the purity, humility, and faith of a child—virtues we are all called to live by.

Last Thursday, Ernesto Rondon High School was truly blessed by the visit of the Pilgrim Image of Señor Sto. Niño de Cebu.

It was a moment filled with faith, grace, and unity as we welcomed the Holy Child into our school community, entrusting our hopes, prayers, and thanksgiving to His loving care.

Viva Sto. Niño! Viva Pit Señor! 💛👶🏼
