THE LETRAN CALAMBA MISA AT MESA TRADITION: WHERE FAITH MEETS FELLOWSHIP AND ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT

By: Janice R. Aranda - Ilao

Colegio de San Juan de Letran Calamba continues to cultivate a vibrant, faith-centered, and inclusive alumni community through its activity Misa at Mesa, an initiative of the Internationalization and Linkages Office in partnership with the Letran Calamba Alumni Association (LeCAA). Open to more than 34,000 alumni, this program strengthens spiritual formation, deepens relationships, and highlights the shared successes of the Letran community.

MISA: A Monthly Gathering of Faith and Blessings

Every third Sunday of the month, Letran Calamba alumni return home to the Colegio for the Misa, celebrated by the Rector and President, Rev. Fr. Roman L. Santos, O.P. His presence and leadership provide a strong pastoral anchor to the gathering, enriching the spiritual experience of the community.

A special Alumni Prayer and blessing is offered during the Mass, invoking guidance, protection, and continued success for all Letran graduates. This sacred moment has become a meaningful highlight that reinforces the bond between alumni and their alma mater.

MESA: Quarterly Fellowship, Celebration, and Alumni Sponsorship

Held every quarter, Mesa brings alumni and their families together over breakfast and fellowship, an opportunity to reconnect, share stories, and celebrate inspiring milestones within the community.

Recent Mesa celebrations honored the Letran Calamba Robotics Team, for their international triumph in Japan, and the new board passers in Psychology, Psychometrician, Mechanical Engineering, and Electronics Engineering Board Exams.

The Mesa has also grown into a platform where alumni batches and groups can pay forward their blessings. Notably, the former Student Assistants and Working Students of Letran Calamba sponsored the Mesa for October 2025, reflecting the enduring spirit of gratitude, solidarity, and service.

A Tradition That Unites Generations of LetranKnights

Misa at Mesa continues to flourish as a cherished tradition that blends faith, community, and celebration. It bridges generations of alumni, inspiring them to live out the Letran ideals of Deus, Patria, Letran in their lives and careers.

Through this initiative, the Internationalization and Linkages Office and LeCAA reaffirm their commitment to fostering an engaged, connected, and mission-driven alumni community.

Arriba, Letran!
