鈥楪arden of Native Trees鈥� to rise on Manila campus
The College of the Holy Spirit Manila (CHSM) recently launched “Laudato Si Garden of Native Trees” project on its Mendiola grounds, taking inspiration from Pope Francis’ call to care for Mother Earth as humanity’s “common home.” The groundbreaking and dedication ceremony was held on Feb. 22 in memory of the late Dr. Isabel P. Hizon, CHSM professor emerita and “Alumna of the Century.” The project is spearheaded by CHSM alumna Imelda P.
