On the sunny Sunday morning of September 14,
2012, in presence of the representation of the sisters of the three communities
of the Dominican Sisters of the Anunciata in the Philippines, the groundbreaking ceremony was
held and witnessed by the people of barangay Talang and other neighbouring
barangays.
Symbolic digging at the site where the
future school woul raised was participated some sisters then the insertion of
some objects into the capsule followed. The objects inserted were the
architectural and structural designs were by the architect and engineer of the
project, Denis de Villa and Cesar Vergara respectively, soil from Gombren the
birthplace of St. Francisco Coll, coins which are in current circulation that
mark the year the building was built and the list of sisters that are presently
assigned in the country. After all these objects were inserted inside the
capsule which was then sealed and lowered down the ground as the blessed it.
After the meaningful groundbreaking rites,
all proceeded to the chapel for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist to
thank the Lord for His goodness and commend to His care this project as an
offering, a work of our hands.
On
that sunny Sunday morning, a new light has shone to enlighten the darkness of
ignorance as Fr. Coll so desired. From that day, the loving and humble people
would wait for the day the door of Anunciata School be opened for those who
seek an education that is firmly founded in Truth, in Christ. The Anunciata
brand of education that has been spreading throughout the world, benefitting
countless lives that now shine like stars in the night in the world will soon
be ready to be served to the people of San Carlos City.
