Archbishop Anthony Apuron Visits Santa Barbara Catholic School!

Archbishop Anthony Apuron made his annual pastoral visit to Santa Barbara Catholic School last Monday, September 10, 2012. His half-day visit began with the celebration of the Eucharist at Santa Barbara Church at 9AM. Joining the Archbishop in the Eucharistic celebration were Santa Barbara Parish Pastor, Fr. Paul Gofigan, Fr. Ken Carriveau, Fr. Joel De los Reyes and Fr. Dan Bien. Because of the rain, the students stayed for a few minutes inside the church after the Mass. Taking advantage of the captive moment, Archbishop Anthony used the opportunity to greet and meet with the students who were excited to see him up close and personal. The students surprised Archbishop Anthony with a beautiful rendition of “Blessed Pedro Calungsod Hymn”, a song honoring soon-to-be-saint Pedro Calungsod. Touched by the students’ wonderful singing, he wished for the school to give him a copy of the whole school singing the song. A short video on the life of Archbishop Apuron was shown to the students followed by the Archbishop sharing more about his life story, particularly his call to the priesthood. Afterwards, he gamely responded to questions posed to him by the students.

The “question and answer” time with the Archbishop continued later in the school gym. Joining him on stage were Santa Barbara Pastor Fr. Paul Gofigan and SBCS principal, Sr. Jeanette Marie Pangelinan. First to visit with him were the students from Grade 3-8 followed by the students from Pre K to Second grade. Questions asked of him ranged from the simple “What is your favorite color?” or “What is your favorite ice cream flavor?” to the more serious and thought provoking questions like “What are the joys and struggles of being an Archbishop? or “What would you like to happen in the world today?” Showing no sign of tiredness at responding to all the questions thrown at him, Archbishop Apuron patiently responded to and explained his answers to the students, sometimes injecting humor in his responses, to the delight of the students.

As their gift to Archbishop Apuron, the students offered him a spiritual bouquet. Students from Kinder to Second grade wrote a thank you letter to God for the gift of Archbishop Apuron. Students from Grade 3-5 wrote their wishes for the Archbishop, while the Junior High students composed their prayers for the Archbishop. In writing their prayers, the students were asked to recite one Our Father, one Hail Mary and one Glory Be for the Archbishop’s intention. Touched by the gesture, Archbishop expressed his profound gratitude for all the prayers offered to him, especially as he recovers from his recent heart operation. He offered a hug to all the students who gave him the spiritual bouquets.

At the conclusion of his annual pastoral visit, Archbishop Apuron blessed the entire school community and prayed for the students’ success as they continue to receive an excellent, quality Catholic education at Santa Barbara Catholic School.

Santa Barbara Catholic School Turns 62!

Principal Sister Jeanette Marie Pangelinan, explains to the students the significance of September 5 in the school’s history. On September 5, 1950, Santa Barbara School opened its doors to 150 students from Kinder to Grade Four.

Santa Barbara Catholic School celebrated its 62nd Foundation Day last September 5, 2012 with a simple but meaningful prayer service in the school’s Petrie Gymnasium. During the school assembly, a historical video chronicling the humble beginnings of Santa Barbara School (as it was called then), to its present successful status as one of the finest Catholic schools on the island, was shown and explained to the student body. Principal, Sr. Jeanette Marie Pangelinan, paid tribute to Fr. Fulgence Petrie, founder of Santa Barbara School, Sr. Redempta Thomas, RSM, first principal, the Sisters of Mercy who have administered the school since its foundation, the past and present teachers, the parents, and the thousands of students who have received their education in the school. Three alumni of Santa Barbara who are currently teaching at SBCS also shared their thoughts and wonderful memories of having gone through the portals of the school. They were: Mrs. Cecilia Padios (Class of ’78); Mrs. Barbara Gonzales, (Class of ’87) and Mrs. Jenice Cabe ( Class of ’92). At the end of the assembly, the whole school community proudly sang the Alma Mater song, “Dear Santa Barbara, Hail O Hail to thee. Spread the fame of your sweet name, Hail!, O Hail! to Thee.”

Santa Barbara alumni and now Santa Barbara faculty members, L-R: Mrs. Jenice Cabe, Mrs. Cecilia Padios, and Mrs. Barbara Gonzales, share wonderful memories about their years of study in Santa Barbara.

Santa Barbara students proudly sing the Alma Mater Song at the end of the prayer service.
