What with the name?
Maradjao Magbalantay is a Surigaonon term for “The Good Shepherd”. Taken from the gospel of Luke, the Parable of the Good Shepherd or Lost Sheep serves best for a name of a new Seminary. Its biblical term used to denote God’s mercy, not a punisher of delinquents and sinners, but a compassionate and understanding father. Never to be forgotten is that Jesus was crucified because he who claimed He was God was a friend of sinners, the prostitutes, the thieves and swindlers, the limbongan and mangingilad , the despised and desperate, higala sa mga sinalikway ug sinikmahan sa palad. Jesus Maradjao Magbalantay make us after your own heart.
Vision:
MMCS envisions to be a real home, forming seminarians after the heart and mind of the Good Shepherd Jesus Christ, nourished by His words and sacraments, witnessing the gospel values of discipleship.
Mission:
To attain this vision we the Seminarians of Maradjao Magbalantay College Seminary (MMCS) commit to:
* Configure ourselves to Jesus Christ, the High priest, to integrate human values in our priestly formation;
* Build and strengthen community life through appraisal and camaraderie;
* Have a deeper and closer relationship with Christ the Good Shepherd through the sacraments especially the Eucharist, the word of God by personal and communal prayer and meditation;
* Be intellectually equipped by means of constant study and reflection, and by being aware and sensitive to the signs of the times.
* Seek to know Christ by means of pastoral involvement and social concern like Mary, the Blessed Mother of God and the perfect disciple of Christ.
