St. Francis Cainta Online and Distance Learning Programs

Dearest Parents, Students, and Guardians of SFAMSC,

Greetings of Love and Protection from St. Francis of Assisi,


Everyone is anxious about the COVID19 crisis and pandemic, especially parents. Although our Department of Education moved the start of school around August, parents are still worried and rightly so. Many of them are saying that they rather delay their children a year than gamble with their lives and health. We agree with them; that is why we will be launching a distance learning program for the students of SFAMSC. In fact, years even before COVID19, we have already been quietly researching distance learning methods because we plan to set up online tutorials in the future. This way, your children will not need to be delayed and can study safely at home while this pandemic passes through our nation. 

Not everyone has fast internet or even access online all the time, so we will be using a combination of online teaching and offline homeschooling methods. This way, even if the internet slows down or stops, there are still other ways for them to accomplish their school work.

So more than ever, we will need your cooperation because homeschooling requires more adult supervision than face to face classes, especially for younger students. Perhaps this is an opportunity to bond with your child, or if you are busy because of work, you can assign the child's guardians to assist them in their school work.  Regardless of the situation, we will do our best to help you or your child's adult guardian in every step of the way. 

If the virus subsides within the school year and it is deemed safe by the authorities, we may be able to resume regular face to face classes and activities. 

COVID19 has changed many things in our lives. It has changed how things are done. However, we believe this is temporary because God will never forsake us, and soon, this virus will be eventually be cured and disappear. So let us all be diligent in prayer and strong in our faith. 

May the Blessing of Christ, Mercy of Mother Mary, Compassion of St. Francis of Assisi, and the protection of Archangel Michael be with you and your family. 

Sincerely,

Ryan Villanueva

President of St. Francis of Assisi Montessori School of Cainta

Oratio Imperata: Prayer Against COVID19 with the SFAMSC Faculty

During this difficult times, let us all join with the St. Francis of Assisi Montessori School of Cainta faculty as they offer a prayer against COVID-19.

God our Father,
We come to you in our need
To ask your protection against the 2019 N-Corona Virus,
That has claimed lives And has affected many.

We pray for your grace
For the people tasked with studying the nature and cause
of this virus and its disease
And of stemming the tide of its transmission.
Guide the hands and minds of medical experts
That they may minister to the sick
With competence and compassion,
And of those governments and private agencies
That must find cure and solution to this epidemic.

We pray for those afflicted
May they be restored to health soon.

Grant us the grace
To work for the good of all
And to help those in need.

Grant this through our Lord, Jesus Christ, your Son,
Who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, forever and ever. Amen.

Mary Help of all Christians, pray for us.
St. Raphael the Archangel, pray for us.
St. Rock, pray for us. St. Lorenzo Ruiz, pray for us.
St. Pedro Calungsod, pray for us.
St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us.
Leave Jesus in our hearts forever, amen.
