"Take care of my sheep!" The bishops in as much as they are the successors of the apostles, recieve from the Lord,to whom all power is given in heaven and on earth, the mission of teaching all peoples, and of preaching the Gospel to every creature,so that all men may attain to salvation through faith,baptism and the observance of the commandments.
The canonical mission of the bishops on the other hand can be made by legitimate customs that have not been revoked by the supreme and universal authority of the Church,or by laws made or acknowledge by thesame authority or directly by Peter's successor himself. (L.G.#24)The Immaculate Conception School of Theology is of great contributor of holy bishops into the Church of Christ. We thank God for this blessing and charism of the said Seminary. May God continue sending Holy Apostles into His Church.
