Maybe Sr. Gemma Cawilan, ASP isn’t that familiar to some MDPSians since she did not teach in the past school years. But for this year, she was tasked to teach Christian Living Education III.
Sr. Gemma originally assigned to the religious formation of the sister candidates or aspirants to become Angelic Sisters, especially in the Pre-Novitiate and Novitiate stage. She has been assigned to this task for the past two years. She is also a member of the MDPS Board of Trustees.
It is not that she has no experience as a student mentor. In 1992, she taught CLE for grade 3 students in MDPS. In 1993, she handled the CLE class of grade 4, 5 and 6 at Sacred Heart School in Montalban.
Sr. Gemma graduated in Marist Asia Pacific Center (MAPAC) with a course on Religious Studies. She also took up AB Philosophy in Christ the King Seminary in Quezon City and MA Theological Studies in Maryhill School of Theology (MST) in New Manila. As of now, she studies MA Philosophy in the University of Santo Tomas in Manila.
“I never dreamed to be a teacher in a classroom,” she recalls, “But when I became a Sister, I learned to appreciate the value of teaching.”
Sr. Gemma said that she did not really thought of becoming a nun. But after graduating high school, she admired the vocation and realized that she was open to the possibility of becoming one.
After undergoing religious formation, her desire for mission became clear – like that of St. Paul. She became attracted to the charism and mission of the Angelic Sisters of St. Paul that she decided to profess her vows.
Simplicity and excellence – that is what she admires among MDPSians. She sees that they are kind, humble and malalambing as her students.
She enjoys being here in MDPS that she advises the students to have courage and become the best that they can be. “Be open and determined. Excel. Trust in yourselves and trust God since He’ll do the rest.” By Sara Jamel S. Bangayan, III-Fortezza’ and Ma. Francesca C. Herrera, III-Temperanza’
