Immaculate Conception Seminary, Mfamosing Alumni Association has clocked 25 years.
The Association is made up of old boys of Immaculate Conception Seminary, Mfamosing located in Akamkpa local government area of Cross River State.
The School which is best described as a "minor seminary" was founded in 1972 by the late Catholic Archbishop of Calabar, His Grace. Most. Rev. Dr. Brian D. Usanga for the stimulation of interest as well as formation of growing boys to the sacred priesthood.
Over the years, the dream and labour of the founding father can never be said to be in vain as several priests spread across different dioceses, congregations and missionary societies around the world are thoroughbred products of this minor seminary.
There are also laymen of different professions; Law, Medicine, Journalism, Architecture, Engineering, to name but a few who had their secondary education in this seminary.
In order to foster unity & most importantly give back to the school that made them, 25 years ago, precisely in the year 1994, some old boys of the school came together to form the Alumni Association.
Twenty-five years down the lane, the association has not only fostered unity, oneness and togetherness but has given and is still giving back to the seminary.
To further consolidate on the good the Association has stood for over the years, old boys have decided to build a befitting Secretariat as a meeting point and for administrative duties but that will be after a thanksgiving mass in gratitude to God who has brought them this far.
Besides, there will be unveiling of the Association's new blazer as well as conferment of awards to some distinguished old boys and some parents who had sacrificially sponsored two, three and more of their children through the school.
The main event will take place as follows:
Saturday, 30th November, 2019
11am: Holy mass at St. Joseph Parish, Esuk Utan, off harbour junction, Calabar.
12 noon: Unveiling of blazer, launching for the building of Alumni Secretariat & conferment of awards...
All old boys at home and at diaspora are enjoined to partake in the events. Parents, stakeholders as well as public spirited individuals are invited to contribute to the success of the celebration.
