Sr. Angelica explained that these alumnae possessed the Benedictine ideals of Ora et Labora which guided them in their endeavors.   She then reiterated that the teachers or educators of SSC Manila have roles to play in building a nation … that they are responsible in molding their students for them to become good citizens of the country.  And to nurture these qualities in their students, the faculty members have to strengthen the students’ values following the 10 Benedictine Hallmarks of Education.  Sr. Angelica further explained that by performing their roles, faculty members will remain true to SSC’s Mission for 2009-2012, which is for everyone in the SSC Community to become “Leaders in the Service of Christ, Country and Creation”.
