For the month of July, Our Lady of Africa Centre in Equatorial Guinea run by the Teresian Association took a further step in its commitment to education that supports people at every stage of life. To this end, it launched, for the first time, a programme of summer courses for young people and adults. In addition, it once again organised a new edition of the educational and volunteering initiative ‘Super Holidays’.


On 28 July 2026, the Cathedral of Saint Isidore in Holguín, Cuba, hosted a Mass in memory of Saint Pedro Poveda, who gave his life as a martyr for the faith on that very day in 1936. Holguín thus joined in celebrations taking place in various parts of the world on this day. The celebration in Holguín coincided with the conclusion of the 12th Summer School for Educators.

The Teresian Association International Youth Meeting (EIJIT 2026), held in Assisi in Italy from 23 to 28 July, provided a space for dialogue where young people reflected on integral ecology, consumerism, contemporary lifestyles and the values promoted by the Teresian Association: diversity, inclusion, dialogue and equality.

With grateful hearts and renewed inspiration, members of the Teresian Association (TA) in Cebu gathered on Sunday, July 26 to commemorate in advance the 90th anniversary of the martyrdom of St. Pedro Poveda. More than a remembrance of a historical event, the day became an opportunity to share Poveda's life, mission, and enduring legacy with others.


On July 26, 2026, the Teresian Association Iloilo joyfully held the Encuentro Povedano at the Josefa Segovia Student Center (JSSC) in commemoration of the 90th anniversary of the martyrdom of Saint Pedro Poveda, founder of the Teresian Association and witness to education as a path of transformation. The gathering highlighted Poveda’s enduring vision that education can shape persons and society through faith, values, and service.
