Binyagan 2013



September 7 is BINYAGAN 2013 in UNO-R organized by the Department of Religious Education with Campus Ministry Office and University Community Development Office.

This outreach project provides venue for students to enflesh the UNO-R core values of service, community life, justice and peace and sacramental life. Students enrolled in Religious Education courses organized themselves as a class to look for indigent families within Bacolod City to be adopted and prepare the children below six years old of their adopted families for Baptism.

Aside from the gift of the Sacrament of Baptism given to the children, the class also prepared some material goods from the resources that they gathered to be shared to their adopted families.

For this year, the Binyagan is held this September 7 to add more color and meaning to the celebration of the Feast of St. Nicholas of Tolentino and University Week 2013 Celebration—September 9 – 14.

Binyagan 2013 is a very special project because we will be holding this within the Year of Faith which calls us to rediscover, renew and revitalize our Christian faith. Since Baptism is a gateway to eternal life and membership in the Church, making us sons and daughters of God, the baptism of these children will be our special gift to them as members of this academic and Christian community.
