ICST goes to Kapatiran

The ICST community went to Pampanga last February 1-3, 2013 for the annual KAPATIRAN celebration. This year the Mother of Good Counsel Seminary hosted the event. It was formally opened through the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, which was presided by Archbishop Paciano Aniceto. Bishop Ambo David was also present and gave the homily during the Eucharistic celebration.

The different seminaries all-over the Philippines had a great time through the different activities prepared by the host seminary just like the talks, workshops and games. The celebration culminated with the passing of the KAPATIRAN symbol to the next host. The ICST community accepted the challenge of hosting the next KAPATIRAN 2014.
