MIC Sisters Renewal of Vows

The Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception (MIC) celebrated with all Catholics all over the world, the Solemnity of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin on December 8, 2023.

It was indeed significant for the MIC Sisters because they received the name, Immaculate Conception on the eve of the dogma’s 50th Anniversary on December 7, 1904 in which the church dogma of the Immaculate Conception was formally proclaimed in 1854. It was Pope Pius X who gave and consecrated the Institute to Mary, giving the MIC Sisters the whole world as field of their apostolate.

The Solemnity of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception allows the MIC Sisters to remember with gratitude the blessings as missionaries in thanksgiving, wherein it is on this day that the MIC Sisters had their renewal of vows.

The Eucharistic Celebration was presided by Fr. Archimedes Lachica, S.J. and concelebrated by Fr. Greg Damondamon, OSB. As we witnessed the renewal of vows of the MIC sisters, Fr. Kim invited the faithful present to pray for the MIC vocation and their ministry and as collaborators of the MIC mission. Fr. Kim expressed further his gratitude to the MIC Sisters for their Significant Apostolic Work in Davao City.

The celebration was well attended by the MIC sisters family and friends, benefactors, sponsors and the Associates of the MIC. The celebration of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin ended up with a fellowship. (Hermie Mapute, AsMIC)
