The hostels also embrace and celebrate significant religious and cultural occasions with great enthusiasm. The Monthi Feast, a cherished local celebration of the Nativity of Mother Mary, was observed with novena prayers and the traditional offering of flowers, reflecting devotion and unity. Additionally, each hostel honored the feast day of its respective patron—Aloysius Gonzaga, Ignatius Loyola, and Mother Teresa—with a short yet meaningful prayer service followed by the joyful sharing of sweets, strengthening the bond among residents.
