Ruteng — Stipas St. Sirilus Ruteng will hold a Missio Canonica commissioning mass for new graduates on 30 October 2026, according to Floresa.co. The mass is part of the college’s graduation programme in Ruteng, Manggarai, Flores.

The programme follows a national seminar held on 28 October 2026 on designing impactful higher education in the Society 5.0 era. Floresa.co reported that the seminar took place at the Aula Gereja Paroki St.

The commissioning mass is intended for graduates who will soon join communities in real social settings, the report said. The college is located on Jalan Pelita Wae Palo in Ruteng and operates under the Santu Paulus Foundation of the Diocese of Ruteng and the Diocese of Labuan Bajo.

Why it matters to Flores readers

The programme marks the transition of new pastoral graduates into community work across Flores. It also links the college’s discussion of technology and higher education with the practical responsibilities graduates will undertake in local communities.

Floresa.co reported that the seminar brought together students, prospective graduates, lecturers, representatives of Sekolah Tinggi Ekonomi Karya and several senior high schools, as well as the head of the Manggarai Religious Affairs Office.

The report said the graduation ceremony itself was scheduled for 31 October 2026, after the seminar and commissioning programme.
