As a Marian family, let us all be one in the celebration of GAWAD MARIA on September 8, 2021 at 3:30 p.m. GAWAD MARIA is a yearly tribute to the retirees and to those who have rendered 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 years of dedicated service to the institution. This year’s Gawad Maria is even more significant because we also commemorate the birth of our patroness, the birth of our salvific history, and now the birth of another stage in the life of our retirees. The program will commence with a Eucharistic celebration in honor of the Blessed Mother at the Mary Seat of Wisdom Chapel at 2:30 p.m. Both celebrations will be aired via Zoom and will also be live-streamed via the official FB page of Saint Mary’s University.
