Inspired by the rectorโs pastoral thrust, โWith hope, let us journey together for a transformative experience: teaching each other the ugliness of sin and the beauty of virtue,โ the Founderโs Week Celebration 2026 embodies the theme, โEVER UPWARD: Forged in Resilience, Soaring in Strength .โ This annual event draws inspiration from the life of St. John Bosco, who exemplified holiness through prayer, character, excellence, and service. As our saintly father and founder, Don Boscoโs life serves as a beacon of what it means to be firmly grounded in faith while striving to grow in virtue, strength, and resilience.
The Founderโs Week extends St. John Boscoโs mission to the larger community, inviting everyone to positively embrace and embody the institutionโs core values. Through pastoral activities, formative events, and outreach programs, the celebration becomes a testimony to the enduring relevance of Don Boscoโs mission especially here in Tarlac. It is a reminder that holiness is achievable through steadfast prayer, compassionate service, and a commitment to personal growth.
In this week-long journey of reflection and action, we are called to deepen our roots in holiness and be resilient to face lifeโs challenges with faith, hope, and love. Thus, the celebration not only honors the legacy of St. John Bosco but also inspires a community united in its resolve to grow resilient in our mission.
To deepen the collective appreciation of the feast of St. John Bosco by organizing inclusive and meaningful activities that engage the EPC, fostering a sense of unity and joy in the Salesian community.
To encourage active participation in embodying St. John Boscoโs values, integrating spiritual growth and social responsibility into the celebration as a living testimony of the institutionโs mission.
To extend the reach of the Founderโs Week celebration to the larger community by engaging external stakeholders, showcasing Salesian values and inspiring others to embrace St. John Boscoโs mission of serving the young and the marginalized.

St. John Bosco, lovingly known as Don Bosco, was a priest, educator, and founder of the Salesians. He dedicated his life to the care and education of the young, especially the poor and those at risk, guiding them with reason, religion, and loving-kindness. His legacy continues to inspire generations to form good Christians and upright citizens.
Let us come together in thanksgiving for his life and mission, guided by his burning love for the young and his enduring motto:
โ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ ๐ถ๐ฎ ๐ผ๐ธ๐พ๐ต๐ผ, ๐ฝ๐ช๐ด๐ฎ ๐ช๐๐ช๐ ๐ฝ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐ป๐ฎ๐ผ๐ฝ.โ
With grateful hearts and festive spirits, let us celebrate, pray, and renew our commitment to live the Salesian charismโever upward, forged in resilience and soaring in strength. ๐๐
Viva Don Bosco! ๐๐ถ
