On June 10, 2026, the St. Joseph's Academy of Malinao, Aklan Inc. community gathered at St. Joseph the Worker Parish Church for the Mass of the Holy Spirit, the first Eucharistic celebration of School Year 2026-2027.

Most Rev. Cyril B. Villareal, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Kalibo, presided over the Mass. His homily on faith, wisdom, and service left a lasting impression on the Josephian community gathered before him.

Guardians, faculty, staff, and administrators joined together in prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to guide the school through the year ahead and entrusting the new academic year to God's providence and grace.
