The school community extends its heartfelt congratulations to the participants and coaches for their hard work, talent, and dedication. Their achievements not only brought pride to the school but also highlighted the excellence of Catholic education in the CARAGA region.

In a heartfelt response to Pope Francis' Laudato Si' and the Laudate Deum on the pressing issue of the climate emergency, the Carmelite Community together with Mt. Carmel College organized a "Walk for a Cause" on the theme Care of Creation. The event was held early morning on April 9, 2025, and gathered around 300 participants, including students, parish workers, and members of the GKK (Gagmay'ng Kristohanong Katilingban).

The walk commenced at 4:45 a.m. from the Sacred Heart Parish grounds, passing along the National Highway through the communities of Karaos and FreshVil, and concluded at the Mt. Carmel College gym. Along the route, participants held placards bearing strong messages calling for the protection and preservation of Mother Earth.

The walk was joined by students of Mt. Carmel College who are currently enrolled in Theology 4 – Christian Faith and Social Responsibility, embodying their commitment to integrate faith and action in addressing social and environmental concerns. By 6:47 a.m., participants were treated to a simple snack at the college gym.

The event concluded with a message of gratitude from Fr. Gabriel D. Dolotina, O.Carm., who thanked everyone involved in making the activity a meaningful and successful expression of collective ecological responsibility. This event reflects the growing commitment of faith-based communities in Caraga and across the Philippines to address the ongoing climate crisis through advocacy, education, and public witness.

In a heartfelt show of unity and service, the Alumni Batch 1999 of MCC San Francisco, formerly known as Father Urious High School, organized a community outreach program ahead of their Alumni Homecoming held in the last week of December 2024.

The outreach, held in the remote marshland area of Bunuan, Agusan del Sur, brought much-needed support to local residents through food pack distribution, a free dental and medical mission, and community engagement. The initiative benefitted an estimated thirty families, many of whom have limited access to healthcare and basic services.

Spearheading the program were the Alumni Batch 1999 Officers, led by their Batch President, with the special participation of the School President, Rev. Fr. Gabriel D. Dolotina, O.Carm. Fr. Dolotina was accompanied by two visiting Vietnamese Carmelite theologians, Luke and Michael, who offered their presence and pastoral encouragement to the local families.

"This outreach is a reflection of our commitment not just to celebrate our reunion, but to live out the values instilled in us by the Carmelite education we received," said one of the alumni officers. "Giving back to communities like Bunuan reminds us of our shared mission of compassion and service."

The success of the initiative was made possible by donations, logistical support from local partners, and the collaborative effort of alumni who traveled from various parts of the country and abroad. With warm smiles, heartfelt prayers, and acts of kindness, the Batch 1999 alumni proved that even after two decades, their bond and commitment to the community remain strong.
