House of St. Mark

Evangelist and Lion

Back to All Houses

About the House

The House of St. Mark, named after the Evangelist and symbol of the lion, embodies courage, strength, and a passionate voice for the Gospel. The members of St. Mark's House, called "Markians," strive to reflect these values through their outreach program "HAPAG: Sama-samang Pagsasalo Tungo sa Isang Matibay na Lusog-Isip". In SY 2024–2025, the house championed mental health awareness and support for the Johnnies and Garries (school custodians), recognizing that mental well-being is essential for everyone regardless of station in life. Through a three-part outreach series—Mental Health Seminar, Mental Health First-Aid, and Food Package Donation—the house worked to destigmatize mental health in the Filipino context and provide both emotional and material support to those who often go unnoticed.

"Mental health is for everyone; it is inclusive, not exclusive."
