Tagaytay City - The national formation team of the Student Catholic Action of the Philippines launched the new formation approach for the school year 2020 to 2021 last third of October after the Online National Mass of the Holy Spirit . SCA leaders, animators and chaplains shall expect a new approach of the existing modules gradually this year under a new goal - RSR (Reinterpreting, Sustaining, and Reaping.)

In "Reinterpreting," the current four-stage towards full-fledge membership modules (eSCAPade, Preparatory Cell Meetings (PCMs), Basic Orientation Workshop (BOW), Christ the King Leadership Recolection) will be refreshed with reinterpreted versions and will be fitted in an online setting. More media materials are expected to be produced to give participants more time to focus in listening, interaction, and reflections.
In "Sustaining," online application of SCA membership will be encouraged. Capacity-building of animators, chaplains and cell leaders will be offered online. Activities include organizational guides on facilitating SCA online formation and training of diocesan formators. Another big service is the monthly alumni gatherings.
