On February 4, 2012, ICA brought to a close the year-long festivities of its 75th founding anniversary. In a special night that celebrated love, prayer, commitment and friendship – the community jointly expressed its deepest appreciation for God’s unending grace.

It was a joyous thanksgiving that culminated with a closing mass held at the Chapel that was celebrated by Bishop Leopoldo Jaucian, D.D. together with Msgr. Bong Lo, LRMS, Fr. Ismael Zuluoaga, S.J. and Fr. Cesar Marin, S.J. The choir was led by Mrs. Carolyn Cheng composed of selected HS Glee Club and music teachers.

The mass was followed by an amazing display of fireworks and a dinner-concert. The guests were entertained with songs from Broadway, well-loved movies and light classics. Invited artist-performers include harpist Noelle Cassandra, Athenaeum String Quartet, Bobby Cheng (XS Batch 1972), alumnae Carolyn Kleiner-Cheng (Batch 1974), Mary Cheng-Go (Batch 1982), Laura Cabochan (Batch 2005), and Hanna Flores (Batch 2008).

Indeed, it was a beautiful ending to usher in a new beginning – another 75 glorious years for this humble institution.
