Bin-I Class
visits ICST
The Bin-I ,
Graduates of ICST Class 2007, visited their alma mater last July 26, 2010.
The visit formally started with a Eucharistic celebration which was in
honor of the Memorial of Sts. Joachim and Anne, and was presided by Rev.
Fr. Samuel Baruela of the Diocese of Bangued, and followed by a program
prepared by the seminarians.
The members
of the class who concelebrated during the mass were: Rev. Fr. Ramelle Rigunay
of the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia, Fr. Edilberto Calderon and Fr. Eric
Galivo of the Archdiocese of Ligayen-Dagupan, Fr. Alejandro Bangilan III
of the Diocese of Baguio, and Fr. Orlando Mallillin of the Archdiocese
of Tuguegarao.
Fr. Orlando
gave the homily for the celebration and reminded that like Sts. Joachim
and Anne, parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we should make an effort
to see the mysteries of God in the light of faith. Fr. Edliberto extended
their gratitude after communion for the warm welcome, the support and prayers
they have received.
At the program
that followed, the General Beadle, Sem. Raymundo Songyap formally welcomed
them. The alumni all gave words of inspiration and reminders for every
seminarian to respond generously to their formation. They also related
some of their unforgettable experiences as seminarians. After a response
from the Very Rev. Nick A. Vaquilar, Rector of the seminary, the Bin-I
class, in solidarity with the goals and objectives of ICST, left an amount
as
their contribution and gratitude to all.
