The first-year SLC students and some staff joined the Feast Day celebration of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on the top of A Lam Bum praying mountain on 14^th September 2023. They left the campus at 6:30 in the morning and arrived at the top of the hill at about 11:00 a.m. The mountain is 18 miles away from Myitkyina and rises 2,850 ft. above sea level. Traditionally, the local people in Myitkyina Diocese have been celebrating it on September 14^th for 40 years. More than 100,000 people joined the celebration as usual.
