CIC to mark 125th year
“125 Years of Spirited Presence.”
This is the theme of Colegio de la Inmaculada Concepcion’s (CIC) 125th founding anniversary celebration. The CIC administration and the CIC Alumni Association (Cicaa) join hands to make the annual alumni homecoming a memorable affair with different activities all geared towards CIC’s thrust on charity and education.
Nov. 29 is Medical Mission Day where medical practitioners, all graduates of CIC, will offer free medical and dental services to an adopted barangay.
The opening of the event will start with a holy mass on Nov. 30, 8:30 a.m., at the CIC Chapel. Celebrant is Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal.
An invitation to all past Cicaa presidents will be for Dec. 1 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. This is Presidents’ Day and a forum for all past presidents will be devoted to development programs of CIC.
On Dec. 2 at 5:30 p.m., there will be a musicale chorale at the CIC auditorium. Everyone is invited to a Food Festival and Family Day on Dec. 3-4 at the CIC school grounds starting at 8 a.m.
Dec. 5, homecoming day, begins with a concelebrated mass at 8:30 a.m. at the CIC auditorium. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. to formally open the one-year exhibit at the CIC Paascu Office. A Christmas bazaar will be opened at the school grounds.
