IN PHOTOS || TALA LEPROSARIUM 2026

On February 8, 2026, a meaningful encounter of faith and compassion was shared at the Tala Leprosarium of the Dr. Jose N. Rodriguez Memorial Hospital and Sanitarium in Tala, Caloocan City. The Holy Mass was presided by Rev. Fr. Virgilio M. Paredes Jr., OAR, University Chaplain, together with the leprosy patients in the shelter. In that simple yet profound celebration, we were reminded that Christ is truly present in every person we meet, especially in those often unseen and forgotten.

Beyond the Mass, the day became a moment of genuine connection and shared presence, where small acts of love spoke deeply. The flowers offered during the last Living Rosary 2025 were also given to the patients, becoming simple yet heartfelt signs of care and remembrance. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to JPIA-UE Manila Chapter for their sponsorship and presence, and to Dr. Alfonso Victorino H. Famaran Jr., head of the hospital and sanitarium, for the warm welcome and support. We would also like to thank our dear benefactors, the UE SCA CCP Alumni, for their continuous support in funding this initiative.

This mission continues, and we invite both students and personnel to be part of this journey of faith and service. Be part of UE SCA CCP. Register through the link below.
