In celebration of Ash Wednesday, Pangasinan State University held a mass presided over by Rev. Fr. Christian Joy Bataoil.
Hence, several PSUnians, teaching, non-teaching, and students gathered at the Dr. Telesforo N. Boquiren Convention Hall for the Holy Mass.
PSUnians wore a marking of the cross in ashes on their forehead as a sign of mortality – “Remember that you are dust, and to dust, you shall return”
