BAMS

Come February 5-7, 2009, the seminary will be hosting the BAMS (Bicol Association of Minor Seminaries) Meet. The theme of the event will be "Be A Man... Serve!" Unfortunately, there will only be two seminaries, namely, St. Gregory the Great Seminary (Diocese of Legazpi) and St. Anthony Seminary (Diocese of Masbate), which will be coming over because the Immaculate Conception Seminary of the Diocese of Virac will not be able to make it.

The Seminary Hosted SANGKAN III

The annual gathering of Minor Seminaries in the Philippines was hosted by our very own seminary last November 20-21, 2008. There were 12 participating seminaries, namely, San Jacinto Seminary of the Diocese of Cagayan, Mary Help of Christians Seminary of the Diocese of Binmaley, Pangasinan, Immaculate Conception Seminary of Archdiocese of Vigan, Immaculate Conception Seminary of Diocese of Malolos, Mother of Good Counsel Seminary of the Archdiocese of Pampanga, Maria Assumpta Seminary of the Diocese of Cabanatuan, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Seminary of the Diocese of Lucena, Oblates of St Joseph Seminary from Batangas, St Francis de Sales Seminary of the Diocese of Lipa; Our Lady of Guadalupe Minor Seminary of the Archdiocese of Manila, St. Gregory the Great Seminary of the Diocese of Legazpi, and our own seminary.

For various seminaries, especially those coming from the north, the event presented an opportunity to have a tour of the Bicol Region, so aside from attending the event, most seminaries went around the scenic and tourist spots within the region.

Pictures of the event will be posted later...
