The life of St. Ignatius hits the big screen

An inspiring epic film has been made about the amazing Iife of Ignacio de Loyola better known as St. Ignatius, founder of the Society of Jesus. The movie entitled Ignacio de Loyola chronicles Ignatius’ transformation from a brash young soldier to a man of God. It is a production by the Jesuit Communications Foundation (JesCom), the media arm of the Philippine Jesuit Province and co-presented by the Jesuit Conference of Asia Pacific and One Meralco Foundation. Ignacio de Loyola was shot on location in Spain, the home country of St. Ignatius.

JesCom takes “leap of faith” to make film on St. Ignatius

Jesuit Communications Foundation (JesCom) is not exactly a new production company. JesCom traces its roots to theater stalwart Fr. James Reuter who is billed as the pillar of local Catholic media. Engaged in the creation of audiovisual materials for evangelization and education for almost 30 years, JesCom produces music CDs, Lenten television specials, and the weekly show of Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, “The Word Exposed,” which is now aired worldwide via the internet and TV networks in the US and Canada. JesCom has also made a Marilou Diaz-Abaya-directed film, Maging Akin Muli that starred Marvin Agustin as a struggling seminarian.

Student Catholic Action to launch 80th Year Program

All roads of the members and alumni of the Student Catholic Action of the Philippines (SCAP) lead to De La Salle University as it hosts its 80th Anniversary Opening Program this coming April 16, 2016. More than 300 members and alumni of SCAP are expected to fill the Verdure Hall of DLSU in Taft Avenue.

Cagayan de Oro Archbishop Antonio Ledesma will preside the Holy Mass at the Most Blessed Sacrament Chapel. The program’s main event is the Talk Show to be hosted by Ms. Sonia Malasarte Roco. A year-long 80th Anniversary Program and Activities will be launched by the National Secretariat which will include the new vision and mission of the organization, the First Mobile Cine Short Film Festival and the anniversary theme song.

The 80th foundation anniversary of SCAP bears the theme, “Bunga ng Otsenta: SCA at 80, Our Story to Sustainability.” This reflects the organization’s thanksgiving for the fruits it produced for the past 80 years while working on the challenges to sustain its program for social and spiritual transformation. SCAP has been a seedbed of leaders who are now working in the church, education, environment, government and in other public service sectors. To name a few, some notable alumni are the late senator Raul Roco and his wife, Sonia Roco, former Chief Justices Artemio Panganiban and Hilario Davide, Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle, Jose Concepcion, and Atty.
