There are photographs that capture a moment in time. And then there are photographs that tell a lifetime of stories.

These precious photographs were taken during the first-ever Notre Dame Schools of General Santos City Alumni Reunion in San Diego, California, USA, in 1993. More than three decades have passed since that gathering, but the smiles, laughter, camaraderie, and friendships captured in these images remain timeless.

For those who were there, these photographs bring back memories of a remarkable beginning — a gathering of Dameans bound together not merely by the schools they attended, but by the values, experiences, and friendships they shared.

Sadly, some of the familiar faces in these photographs are no longer with us. Their passing reminds us that time is precious, that opportunities to reconnect should never be taken for granted, and that the memories we create with one another become part of a legacy that lives on.

But the story does not end in San Diego.

In May 2027, we write another chapter — this time in ORLANDO, FLORIDA!

The Notre Dame Schools of General Santos City Alumni Association International, Inc. invites Dameans from every generation, from our pioneering alumni to our youngest members, to come together for the 17th Biennial International Reunion on May 13–16, 2027.

This is more than a reunion. It is an opportunity to reconnect with old classmates, rediscover lifelong friendships, meet fellow Dameans from different generations, celebrate our shared heritage, and create wonderful new memories.

To our pioneering Dameans: Come home to the fellowship you helped build.

To our younger alumni: Take your place in a legacy that began long before you and will continue long after us.

To everyone who has ever called Notre Dame home: This is your invitation.

Let us honor those who came before us, cherish those who are still with us, and welcome those who will carry the Notre Dame spirit into the future.

SAN DIEGO ’93 gave us the memories. ORLANDO ’27 will give us another reason to celebrate.

The years may pass. The faces may change. But the Damean spirit remains.

ORLANDO 2027: EVERY DAMEAN BELONGS!

Reunited in Faith. United in Purpose. Bonded for Life.

See you in Orlando, Dameans! 💚💛
