JS TURN-OVER CEREMONIES






Last Thursday, February 19, 2009, the ICMS community celebrated another inspiring moment for seminarians, formators, faculty and staff. It was our version of JS Prom and we call it: "JS TURN-OVER CEREMONIES". It is a testimonial dinner for our 4th year seminarians as we honor them for being leaders of the community for the past months and at the same time to pass these responsibilities to the 3rd year seminarians as they will become the seniors coming next school-year. For that matter, our 12 senior seminarians were given the privilege to speak what their hearts say as they cherished inspiring and learning moments of their stay in ICMS. Their speeches were full of words of gratitude, of apologies, of challenges and of love. It was touching indeed!

Particularly, the ceremonies underline the turning over of the keys of RESPONSIBILITY, SERVICE, WISDOM AND ALMA MATER. The key of responsibility was given to Frederrick Gazzingan by Ivan Idio; the key of Service was handed over by Gregg Paul Hermosa to Wilzel Adriatico; the key of Alma Mater was passed to Jeric Ramolete by Lanz Gapusan; and the key of Wisdom was accepted by Marco Banez as given by Janflor Ullero.

It was also a showcase of talents especially for the lower years as they surprised us with their dancing moves and singing careers.

The evening was graced by our guest speaker who hails from Sto. Domingo, Ilocos Sur. He is an alumnus of ICMS, Atty. Joefrey Alapot. An inspring message was also given by our Fr. Prefect, Fr. Jack Cabatu and with the Very Rev. Fr. Felix Costales who gave the last message and the blessing
