The Eucharistic Celebration served as the highlight of SPUP’s year-long activities for the commemoration of its 115th Foundation Anniversary.

In his homily, Msgr. Brown shared that it was his first time to visit Cagayan and he was glad to be with SPUP community together with Archbishop Baccay and the clergy of Tuguegarao to celebrate the 115th Foundation Anniversary of SPUP. “This University is a tribute not only to the Philippine nation, the province of Cagayan, but also in a special way to the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres.”
