Almighty and Ever-loving God, your generosity is without measure, your goodness is without limit and you are lavish in bestowing gifts. In your goodness you have favored us and kept us safe.  We thank you for the blessings you have bestowed on us through our benefactors, relatives and friends who continuously contribute their time and resources.  Through their generosity, we experience your benevolence and love. 

Lord of life, we beseech your compassion. Stay close to our benefactors and their families and shelter them under your wings.  Keep them at your side as they go on with their life and work. Continue, O Lord, to bless and give them grace-filled life, strength and inspiration. Allow the power of your love to enable them to accomplish what is right and good. Lord God, we implore that their aspirations and intentions be granted through your goodness. 

Strengthened by your blessing, may they always be thankful to you and bless you with unending joy.  May your blessing always prompt them to give you thanks and to live in holiness.  We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.  Amen.

OUR HEARTFELT THANKS………. 

Just this year 2009, the CHED (Commission on Higher Education) granted us the government permit to conduct and operate Master’s Degrees, i.e., MA in Theology and MA in Pastoral Ministry. Through this, ICST can already confer on her graduates not only ecclesiastical degree, but also civil degree. CHED requires that we update our books in our library. Thus, we are buying books especially those published in the last 5-10 years. We are as well purchasing computers and laptops for research. We are glad that Atty. & Mrs. Victor Sison are helping us in this endeavor. They are soliciting for us here in ICST. As of August 24, 2009, we already have an amount of $8,395. We would like to acknowledge and thank them:

365 Friends of ICST

Who are they?

Besides our beloved benefactors and those who have been bigheartedly helping the institution, they are those who are willing and who generously pledge to give a sack of rice or more once a year (365 days) in support of the seminary.

Why rice?

The ICST community is big and, for Filipinos, rice is a basic sustenance. The concept also follows Mt. 27:55, where the people provided Jesus with the most basic of things - food. 

Will their pledge be limited to this?

Generosity comes in different ways, thus our friends could extend their support in any kind/manner they wish. Nevertheless, the sack of rice takes precedence.

How are they to give their pledge?

Together with the pledge form attached in the brochure (which is available at the seminary), they can deliver the rice directly to the seminary. If this is impossible, the cash equivalent of a sack of rice may instead be given, either through the formators or the seminarians. They must specify that the amount is for the purpose of the 365 Friends of ICST. For those who cannot personally hand over their cash donation, they may deposit it in the ICST account (as indicated above). They must, however, inform the procurator or any of the seminary formators beforehand. 

Be one of the 365 friends of ICST!

Support the seminary for the formation of priests for Northern Luzon Church!
