RE : VIRTUAL UST PASKUHAN 2021 FESTIVITIES

DATE : 27 NOVEMBER 2021

The year 2021 marks the 30th year of the UST PASKUHAN, the University’s annual tradition
of celebrating the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior. As we celebrate this milestone,
we also keep in mind the Filipino people and the rest of the world who are greatly affected
by the pandemic.

We draw inspiration from the Holy Family, who, too, experienced anxieties, tribulations and
uncertainties as they journeyed from one place to another, yet they grew together as a family
in mutual love and in trust in God. This year’s Paskuhan theme: “The Pilgrimage: Our Road
through Trials, Our Road to Triumph,” invites the Thomasian community to reflect on the
experience lived by Jesus, Mary and Joseph, who journey with us.

The following activities are the highlights of our virtual celebrations:
