As the Christmas season approaches, Dr. Mirtha A. Peralta, President of St. John’s College, shared a heartfelt Advent message with the SJC community. Her message, rooted in the themes of hope, peace, joy, and love, serves as an inspiration to reflect on the true meaning of the season and its significance for personal and collective growth.

Dr. Peralta emphasized the Advent season as a time for preparation and anticipation—not only for the celebration of Christmas but for the renewal of spirit and faith. She invited the SJC community to embrace the season as an opportunity to deepen connections with one another, nurture gratitude, and live out the values that underpin the Jesuit tradition.
