Last July 16, 2019, on the Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, the Congregation of Missionaries, Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary celebrated their 170th Founding Anniversary. The celebration centered on the ordination to the Sacred Order of Presbyters of five Claretian deacons-- Rev. Jo Stephen C. Cagaanan, CMF; Rev. Derrick Russel Q. Tapel, CMF; Rev. John Nguyen Van Hai, CMF; Rev. Anthony Nguyen Duy Luong, CMF and Rev. Stephen Nguyen Van Nang, CMF. His Excellency Leo M. Dalmao, CMF, D.D., Bishop of the Prelature of Isabela De Basilan was the ordaining prelate and presider during the ordination liturgy held at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish (IHMP).

The celebration of the 75th Foundation of the Claretians in the Philippines in 2021 was also launched through a video presentation and an exhibit showing a glimpse of the Philippine Province’s History.


 

In solidarity with the Claretian Missionaries, Claret School of Quezon City joined the celebration through the different level masses which were presided by the Spiritual Director, Fr. Efren L. Limpo, CMF and the School Director, Fr. Mauricio T. Ulep, CMF.

 

Liturgical Services for the students in the Child Study Center were also led by the Campus Ministry Coordinator, Bro. Dante C. Boringgot, CMF. The Grade 10 students, on the other hand, were given the opportunity to join the Ordination Mass at the IHMP.
