University Way of the Cross 2025

As one Ateneo community, let us come together for the University Way of the Cross on Friday, 28 March 2025, at the Loyola Heights campus. 

We will begin with the Celebration of the Holy Eucharist at 3:45 pm to be presided by Fr Joaquin Jose Mari C Sumpaico III SJ, Vice President for Basic Education, at the St Aloysius Gonzaga Chapel, Ateneo Senior High School. This will be preceded by an Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament with an opportunity for the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) at 3:00 pm. Right after mass, we will process for the Way of the Cross proper.

We encourage everyone to wear a white shirt, comfy pants and shoes, and to bring the following:

• device for the prayer guide:    

• water flask
• cap/umbrella
• alcohol
• facemask as personal preference

For the route, refer to the map below.

“Led by our Blessed Mother Mary, we trudge along in the alleys and byways of a suffering humanity where we are invited to have a “genuine, personal encounter with the Lord Jesus, the “door” (cf. Jn 10:7.9) of our salvation, whom the Church is charged to proclaim always, everywhere and to all as “our hope” (1 Tim 1:1).” (Spes Non Confundit 1)

You may refer to the University President’s memo dated 5 March 2025.

Thank you.
