	CAMPUS MINISTRY lead the Spirit of Oneness
		"Grow will you be planted." A very quote that somehow fits the situation of our ministry (or the office as the staff). The "old office" which was located at the third floor of the students and the employees. This year also, the office is graced by another Campus Ministry in the person of Gina Balbuena replacing Carmen Vergara who is now enjoying her early retirement following "God's Will". Another personality also made an entrance as Fr. Pepe Retorca, the previous School Chaplain made an exit. He is Rev. Ricky Peñalosa. This young, religious and very energetic priest is committed to serve the entire institution. To lead the group with the aspiration of "Oneness" the Campus Ministry has its new coordinator, Rose Carcallas.

Smart-HCDC partnership simply amazing
	Simply Amazing!", best describes the partnership between Holy Cross of Davao College and the giant Smart Telecommunications company which resulted to the establishment of a Smart Wireless Laboratory within the premises of HCDC. It is simply amazing because HCDC's Engineering Program, the major beneficiary of the project earned for itself a big boost especially in the telecommunications training of the students enrolled in Electronics ans Communications Engineering (ECE). It is simply amazing because HCDC has again expanded its network, this time to a leader in technology (SNART) in order to meet the demands of global competitiveness and produce globally competitive ECE graduates.
