Our annual CHRISTMAS DRIVE generates resources for the school’s Alay Kapwa fund, which is used to provide immediate response during natural calamities, to support Jesuit apostolates that directly serve the most needy in society, and to contribute to charitable causes and programs in the name of the school.  We thank you for your support every year.

In the last 12 months, we have sent donations in cash and in kind to the Jesuit Mission Station in Caloocan, the Jesuit Prison Service, the Jesuit Volunteers Philippines, the Pontifical Mission Societies, and other relief projects, among other contributions. 

We are aware that we all live in difficult times due to the rising inflation, and that the Parents’ Auxiliary will also request you  to contribute to the Christmas program for the faculty and staff.  Nonetheless, we cannot let the coming Christmas season pass without making an effort to assist “the last, the least, and the lost” in society.

In the past, your donations helped us prepare ‘Pamaskong Handog’ bags and ‘Noche-Buena’ baskets for our agency personnel. These are our loyal and hardworking janitors and security guards, who were able to bring these grocery bags home to share with their families during Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

This year’s Christmas Drive, aside from Xavier agency personnel as main beneficiary, we will also prioritize rehabilitation efforts in communities devastated by recent calamities and typhoons.  We hope to bring the spirit of Christmas to the affected communities.

The drive will run for a period of 6 weeks, starting November 7 until December 16, 2024.  Through your kindness and generosity, we hope you can donate in kind or in cash (Please see next page for the donation guidelines)   To help ensure that your donations are distributed to the beneficiaries before Christmas, we would like to request that you send in all your donations on or before DECEMBER 16, 2024.

Given the outpouring of love every year, we have no doubt that the Christmas Drive envisioned by our Jesuit school pioneers will continue to be successful in reaching more and more people and families in need. 

Thank you very much and advance Merry Christmas!

Sincerely, 

(sgd.)
