“High Spirit,” the art exhibition, celebrates the centennial anniversary of College
of the Holy Spirit, Mendiola (CHS). Fifteen accomplished CHS women alumnae in
their various fields of endeavor participate, with their art to be viewed at the
Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) Little Theater lobby and second-floor
hallway. The exhibit runs until March 27. Free viewing is open daily Tuesday-

artists, their medium, and their art genre. The article also states that works were
gathered from different parts of the word to form this collection as an expression of
gratitude to the school, which they credit for the strength of the alumnae’s inner for-
mation. The half-page article ends thus…
“High Spirit” represents the spirit of excellence in various styles and modes of articula-
tion. The works in the exhibit are meant to inspire its viewers into looking at art-
making as a creative, humanly integrative process.

found themselves amid swirling waters as they underwent a process that
was simultaneously liberating and confusing.
Tentatively, then with growing conviction, the Sisters strove for genuine
renewal that would help situate the Church in the modern world, not apart
from it, and bring her closer to the people, especially the poor and the mar-
ginalized. The way they lived their vows, their prayer life, their community
and their ministries—all these changed as they sought to live their mission
