Statement of Sympathy to the Whole Ateneo De Zamboanga University Community

Juntos en Dolor, Firmes en Fe, Unidos por Justicia
(One in Grief, Steadfast in Faith, United for Justice)

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Zamboanga stands in solidarity with the Jesuit community, the Ateneo de Zamboanga University family, and all those affected by the tragic shooting incident.

We join the entire ADZU community in profound grief over the loss of young lives and in deep concern for those who have been wounded, traumatized, and deeply affected by this tragedy.

We assure the learners, teachers, personnel, families, and the entire academic community of our prayers, presence, and solidarity as we journey toward healing and recovery. In this painful moment, may no one feel alone. The Catholic faithful of Zamboanga are one with you.

We continue to believe in the power of faith formation and catechesis in nurturing the hearts and minds of our young people and teachers, forming communities rooted in compassion, respect, dialogue, responsibility, and peace. Our schools must remain safe spaces—places where young people can learn, grow, discover their dignity, and become instruments of peace.

As we mourn, we also affirm our commitment to truth, justice, and accountability. The Catholic faithful stand with the victims and their families in seeking a thorough investigation and appropriate accountability. We pray that the authorities may be guided by wisdom, fairness, courage, and a sincere commitment to justice.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”— Psalm 34:18

May the Lord embrace those who mourn, comfort those who are afraid, heal those who are wounded, and strengthen those who carry the weight of this tragedy. May He grant eternal rest to those who have died and consolation and strength to their families.

In this moment of sorrow, we choose prayer over fear, compassion over condemnation, truth over speculation, and justice over vengeance.

We grieve with you. We pray with you. We stand with you.We walk with you toward healing, justice, and peace.

HAPPY PRIESTS’ DAY!
Memorial of St. John Mary Vianney
August 4, 2026

On this special day, as we honor the Feast of the Patron of Parish Priests, we pause to reflect on the invaluable presence of our priests, their faithful service, spiritual guidance, and deep impact on our lives and communities.

Let us take this moment to express our gratitude and acknowledge the vital role they play in building and sustaining our faith.

We especially lift in prayer the clergy of the Archdiocese of Zamboanga, who have generously offered their lives in service to the Church and its people. May the Lord bless them abundantly, strengthen them in their ministry, and make them steadfast beacons of grace and wisdom for the faithful.

PRAYER FOR PRIESTS
by St. John Vianney

God, please give to your Church today
many more priests after your own heart.
May they be worthy representatives of Christ the Good Shepherd.
May they wholeheartedly devote themselves to prayer and penance;
be examples of humility and poverty;
shining models of holiness;
tireless and powerful preachers of the Word of God;
zealous dispensers of your grace in the sacraments.
May their loving devotion to your Son Jesus in the Eucharist
and to Mary his Mother be the twin fountains of
fruitfulness for their ministry.
Amen.

READ | An Excerpt from the Homily of Rev Fr. Lorenzo "Junjun" Alviar Jr. during the celebration of the Seventh day Novena mass in preparation for the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity.

"Gethsamane is the place where obedient triumph over fear, trust over the anguish, and Love conquered self preservation. Every disciple has its own experience of Gethsamane moment- moments of pressure, pain, and certainly betrayal, injustices, depression, and loneliness. But, Gethsamane is also a place of comfort. Our lord does not watch our suffering from a distance- he has entered into it himself. The eternal high priest kneels beside every suffering souls and says 'you are not alone, I have been here before you.' "
- Fr. Junjun
