Saint Joseph College was awarded Best Catholic School Facebook Page during the 2nd Cebu Metropolitan Catholic Mass Media Awards held at the Cube Wing Atrium, SM Seaside City Cebu, on Sunday, October 4.

The institution recognizes the dedicated efforts of the SJC Integrated Media Center (IM) for their commitment to publicity and mass media in the digital space.

The Cebu Metropolitan Catholic Mass Media Awards recognizes outstanding works by media practitioners and organizations that promote human and Christian values within the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Cebu and its suffragan dioceses (Dumaguete, Maasin, Tagbilaran, and Talibon).

"My mouth is filled with Your praise, and with Your glory all the day." (Psalm 71:8) With hearts full of humble gratitude, it is with great joy and privilege that we present our 52 new Josephinian Registered Civil Engineers from the September 2026 Civil Engineers Licensure Examination (CELE).

Grounded in prayer, discipline, and perseverance, Saint Joseph College achieved a remarkable milestone. Our first-time examinees posted a 71.88% passing rate, steering our overall institutional performance to 59.09% (52 out of 88 examinees), transcending beyond the 37.14% national passing rate. Furthermore, in an unofficial ranking posted by the CE Box Tutorial Page, SJC Maasin also placed 17th nationwide among Civil Engineering institutions with 50 or more examinees.

This blessing is a testament to the dedication of the SJC Civil Engineering Department in providing quality, values-driven engineering education in Eastern Visayas.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our graduates, families, mentors, faculty and staff from the CE Dept., friends, and prayer warriors. Above all, we offer everything back to the Almighty.

Congratulations, our new Josephinian Civil Engineers! Go forth and build with integrity, humility, and faith. Deo omnis gloria! #JosephiniansTranscend

"A teacher is more than a bearer of knowledge; a teacher is a trusted guide who helps others discover truth, develop character, and grow into their full humanity. Teaching is both an intellectual vocation and a moral responsibility.

A teacher must be exemplary, because learners are formed not only by what teachers say but by how they live. A teacher must be angel, helping us to recognize the good, resist the evil, keep walking when the road of learning is difficult. A teacher must be committed, remaining faithful to the slow, patient work of education — even when growth is difficult to see.

To teach holistically is to attend to the whole person: mind, character, relationships, and well-being."

— Very Rev. Msgr. Oscar A. Cadayona, PhD, SThL-MA, in his homily during the Mass for the SJCEF Teachers' Day Celebration (October 2, 2026).

The SJC Office of the Research Council, in partnership with SLSU-Tomas Oppus Campus, continues its Project SULAT series with another intensive workshop themed "From Draft to Final: Sharpening Research Proposals for Impact and Approval."

The Saint Joseph College Educative Family is deeply saddened by the passing of our former College faculty member, Sr. M. Mercy C. Cañete, OSF, Ed.D.

Together as one family, we continue to pray for the soul of our beloved Sr. Mercy.

Ginawaran ang Saint Joseph College ng Best Catholic School Facebook Page sa 2nd Cebu Metropolitan Catholic Mass Media Awards na ginanap sa Cube Wing Atrium, SM Seaside City Cebu, noong Linggo, October 4.

Kinikilala ng institusyon ang dedikadong pagsisikap ng SJC Integrated Media Center (IM) para sa kanilang commitment sa publicity at mass media sa digital space.

Kinikilala ng Cebu Metropolitan Catholic Mass Media Awards ang mga natatanging gawa ng mga media practitioner at organisasyon na nagtataguyod ng makatao at Kristiyanong mga pagpapahalaga sa Metropolitan Archdiocese of Cebu at sa mga suffragan diocese nito (Dumaguete, Maasin, Tagbilaran, at Talibon).

"Ang aking bibig ay puno ng papuri sa Iyo, at ng Iyong kaluwalhatian sa buong maghapon." (Psalm 71:8) nang may pusong puno ng mapagpakumbabang pasasalamat, buong galak at karangalan naming inihahandog ang aming 52 bagong Josephinian Registered Civil Engineers mula sa September 2026 Civil Engineers Licensure Examination (CELE).

Sa pundasyon ng panalangin, disiplina, at pagtitiyaga, nakamit ng Saint Joseph College ang isang kahanga-hangang milestone. Ang aming mga first-time examinee ay nagtala ng 71.88% passing rate, kaya umabot ang aming kabuuang institutional performance sa 59.09% (52 mula sa 88 examinee), na mas mataas sa 37.14% national passing rate. Bukod dito, sa unofficial ranking na inilabas ng CE Box Tutorial Page, pumuwesto rin ang SJC Maasin sa ika-17 sa buong bansa sa mga Civil Engineering institution na may 50 o higit pang examinee.

Ang biyayang ito ay patunay ng dedikasyon ng SJC Civil Engineering Department sa pagbibigay ng de-kalidad at values-driven na engineering education sa Eastern Visayas.

Taos-puso ang aming pasasalamat sa aming mga graduate, pamilya, mentor, faculty at staff mula sa CE Dept., mga kaibigan, at prayer warriors. Higit sa lahat, iniaalay namin ang lahat sa Makapangyarihan.

Congratulations sa aming mga bagong Josephinian Civil Engineers! Humayo kayo at magtayo nang may integridad, kababaang-loob, at pananampalataya. Deo omnis gloria! #JosephiniansTranscend

"Ang isang guro ay higit pa sa tagapagdala ng kaalaman; ang isang guro ay isang mapagkakatiwalaang gabay na tumutulong sa iba na matuklasan ang katotohanan, hubugin ang pagkatao, at lumago sa kanilang buong pagiging tao. Ang pagtuturo ay kapwa isang intellectual na bokasyon at isang moral na pananagutan.

Dapat maging huwaran ang isang guro, dahil ang mga mag-aaral ay hinuhubog hindi lamang ng sinasabi ng mga guro kundi ng kung paano sila namumuhay. Dapat maging anghel ang isang guro, na tumutulong sa atin na kilalanin ang mabuti, labanan ang masama, at magpatuloy sa paglalakad kahit mahirap ang daan ng pagkatuto. Dapat maging committed ang isang guro, na nananatiling tapat sa mabagal at matiisang gawain ng edukasyon — kahit mahirap makita ang paglago.

Ang pagtuturong holistic ay pagbibigay-pansin sa buong tao: isip, pagkatao, pakikipag-ugnayan, at kagalingan."

— Very Rev. Msgr. Oscar A. Cadayona, PhD, SThL-MA, sa kanyang homily sa Misa para sa SJCEF Teachers' Day Celebration (October 2, 2026).

Ipinagpapatuloy ng SJC Office of the Research Council, katuwang ang SLSU-Tomas Oppus Campus, ang Project SULAT series nito sa pamamagitan ng isa pang intensive na workshop na may temang "From Draft to Final: Sharpening Research Proposals for Impact and Approval."

Layunin ng tatlong-araw na workshop na bigyan ang mga faculty member na nakatapos na ng draft proposal ng mga kasanayang kailangan upang ayusin at tapusin ang kanilang mga papel para sa panel evaluation, funding, o publication.

Lubos na nalulungkot ang Saint Joseph College Educative Family sa pagpanaw ng aming dating College faculty member, si Sr. M. Mercy C. Cañete, OSF, Ed.D.

Bilang isang pamilya, patuloy naming ipinagdarasal ang kaluluwa ng aming minamahal na si Sr. Mercy.

Ang wake schedule at Funeral Masses sa Sacred Heart Convent Chapel (Baybay City) ay ibinahagi sa pamamagitan ng Facebook.

College of Computer Studies, Saint Joseph College. May mga kapana-panabik na kaganapan sa Saint Joseph College! Dalawang pagsulong sa technology education:

Ang milestone na ito ay nag-uugnay sa aming institusyon sa komunidad ng Cisco Networking Academy, na nagbubukas ng mga bagong oportunidad para sa mga estudyante upang linangin ang mga makabuluhang digital skill. Ang Academy Support Center (ASC) ay ang University of Cebu (UC).
• Bahagi na rin ng aming technology journey ang Robotics! Sa pamamagitan ng Robotics, matutuklasan ng mga estudyante ang programming, automation, problem-solving, mga engineering concept, at innovation.

Mula networking hanggang robotics. Mula digital skill hanggang intelligent system. Mula ideya hanggang innovation.
