Per University Memo No. 2024-2025-085, the Undas break will be from October 29 to November 2 (Wednesday to Sunday).

October 29 and 30 are holidays to mark the Feasts of St Ignatius Loyola and St Francis Xavier. The actual feast days on July 31 and December 3 will be class/work days during which the feast day celebrations will be held.

May these days of break from work and classes allow us time for rest, to be with our families as we remember and pray for our departed loved ones and friends.

🌿 𝙆𝙪𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙎𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙩 𝙇𝙂𝙐 𝙎𝙖𝙣 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙘𝙪𝙖𝙡, 𝙈𝙖𝙨𝙗𝙖𝙩𝙚 🌿

The employees of LGU San Pascual gathered for a meaningful 𝙆𝙪𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙎𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 last October 6-7, 2025. This activity became an avenue for the employees to pause, reconnect, and reflect together. Employees from various offices actively engaged in the discussions and shared moments of laughter, learning, and rest. 💚

Activities like this remind all of us that behind every public service are government workers who dedicate their time and energy for the welfare of their constituents. Having moments to breathe, check in with one another, and care for one's well-being is more than just important - it’s what keeps public service meaningful and strong. 🌻

Access to mental health care isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifeline, especially in times of crisis. 💚

This year's theme "Access to Services - Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies" highlights the need to support the mental health and psychosocial needs of people affected by humanitarian emergencies - natural disasters, public health crisis, and conflicts.

Let us strengthen our community self-help and social supports and ensure that no one is left behind, especially in accessing mental health services. 🌿
