Rains dampen ‘Ig-night’ activities
DUE TO unexpected rains, the Sanggunian had to cancel a parade and free concert, which are part of “Ig-night,” a celebration for the Feast of St. Ignatius last July 31.
The institutional Mass, presided by University President Fr. Bienvenido Nebres, SJ, pushed through at 5:30 pm last July 30.
The Mass was supposed to be followed by a parade of the carosa of St. Ignatius and the Virgin Mary, and a concert featuring performers such as Itchyworms and the Company of Ateneo Dancers. The program was rescheduled to a later date, which is still unconfirmed as of the press time.
