In a world of diversified cultures, inconsistencies among belief systems may become the root of conflict and disagreements hence, creates a seedbed for religious conflict. The study attempts to investigate the perceptions and experiences of the non-Catholic students of Ateneo de Iloilo - Santa Maria Catholic School. This may allow a solution towards retaining or providing alternatives with the use of faith-based tools to promote the unification of the diverse religious cultures. Using a qualitative approach in a case study design, the study collected the qualitative data from the respondents, analyzing and interpreting the given data
through thematic analysis. Results indicated a general result of challenges, indicating difficulty in engagement in the aspect of understanding context and relating to the stories, as
well as conformities by means of bringing transformative changes and acknowledging the Roman Catholic framework. These findings underscore the importance of interfaith and its
need for the future of the community. The researchers highlight the need of providing innovative ways to enhance religious engagement and bringing towards a deeper ser
of spiritual connection and community participation.
