ABSTRACT
This study aims to assess the satisfaction of the guests during the Family Day and to
determine the extent of the implementation of the policies and guidelines for succeeding Family
Day celebrations. Family Day is the time when the family and friends of the seminarians gather
as one ICS family. In this gathering, there is joy and celebration in everyone’s faces as they bond
as one happy family. However, in the midst of this festive event, there comes the concern of how
the program is organized and executed. For the past years, the policies and guidelines have been
up to the organizers with due word from the form the formators. Thus, this research aims to
determine the level of satisfaction of the guests during the program as well as what are the
suggested policies that could be implemented so as to keep the program of family Day organized
and enjoyable for all. The researchers need to answer this problem by conducting this research.
To achieve this goal, they employed the quantitative research method that involved surveying the
guests. The researchers need to answer this problem because Family Day is an important event in
Immaculate Conception Minor Seminary. By doing so, it could help to improve the celebration
of Family Day in the years to come, making the program more organized and enjoyable for all.

CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
A. Introduction
Anyone will love something if a plan comes together. Family Day is an annual event in the
Immaculate Conception Minor Seminary, in which, family and friends gather to show off their
talents, to bond as one family in Christ. It is a time for celebration, laughter, and happiness. In
line with the First Sunday of Advent, the entire ICS Family gathers to rejoice at the coming of
the Lord Jesus as the Redeemer and His Second Coming at the end of time.
However, while engaging in this festive event, there are certain policies and guidelines that the
formators. The consequence is that confusion and delay occur within the program, which affects
the smooth flow of the program and the overall enjoyment of the guests. Then the guests would
Therefore, the researchers conducted the study on determining the policies and guidelines that
the formators ought to implement during Family Day, as well as finding ways on how to improve
the quality of the program by tallying the level of satisfaction of the guests. This is so that future

program of Family Day?
2. How effective is the Family Day program without a standard policy?
C. Conceptual Framework
quantitative research, also known as statistical research, describes data and characteristics about
the studied population or phenomenon. This type of research focuses on the survey given to the
respondents to be able to gather data that will give accurate conclusion and recommendation to
the researchers.
Although the data description is factual, accurate and systematic, the research cannot
describe what caused a situation. It is therefore not possible to use Descriptive research in order
to create a causal relationship, where one variable affects another. In other words, one used
The research utilizes the description of frequencies, averages and other statistical
calculations. Often the best approach, prior to writing descriptive research, is to conduct a survey
investigation. Quantitative research often has the aim of gathering numerical data and
researchers may follow-up with examinations of why the observations exist and what the
In short, descriptive quantitative research deals with everything that is observable and
countable. However, there are always restrictions to that. One’s research must have an impact on
The study will also utilize the Input, Process, Output (IPO) method. The Input consists of
the respondent’s profile such as gender, age, educational attainment, profession, and the survey
forms include the rate of the satisfaction in the different areas during the Family Day and the
opinion of the respondents regarding the proposed policies. The process consists of the different
methods; survey questionnaires and statistical analysis of input variables and interpretation and
analysis of data. The output is the Developed Organization of the Family Day.

D. Assumptions
The study was anchored on the basis that the results of the survey were fair indices of the
subjects’ level of satisfaction and willingness to implement the suggested policies and
guidelines. Likewise, the research relied on the assumption that the researchers accomplished the
questionnaire effectively.
E. Hypothesis
The age and gender of the guests will not affect the results of satisfaction of the guests during
the Family Day 2017 and its organization. In addition, the policies will not affect the
This study is an assessment of the policies and guidelines during Family Day. It aims to
answer the questions: what are the currently observed general policies during Family Day and
what are the suggested policies and guidelines that could help to improve the program of Family
Day. By doing so, it can set in stone a general policy that the future organizers of Family Day
would need to follow so as to maintain orderliness and avoid confusion and delay.
Alongside this, the researchers are also evaluating the satisfaction of the visitors to help
improve the overall quality of the program and enjoyment of the guests during Family Day for
The data gathered to answer the research problems will be dependent on the answers that
were given by the registered visitors through survey forms distributed to the respondents. In
addition, the researchers will survey only the registered visitors; any walk-in visitors will not be
included. Thus, the respondents will consist mostly of the faculty, seminarians, their parents,
relatives, and friends who are registered for the Family Day 2017. These form the guests of

Community to improve the Family Day in terms of applying policies, based on the satisfaction of
the guests. Second, this study can help the guests and seminarians to obey the policies and
remain composed and organized throughout the entire program. There would be no more
confusion and delay and all would be in one place and not scattered throughout the compound.
Family Day, is in no doubt one of the most significant programs the seminary has in the
month of December, it is that one time where the family members and friends of the seminarians,
as well as the whole ICS Family, gets a chance to be together and bond. It is in line with the
season of Advent when we rejoice and await the coming of our Lord. Any confusion and delay to
For example, if for five consecutive years, the program started very late and the visitors did
not like the program, then in the future, fewer people would attend Family Day in the following
years. Alternatively, if the program was terrible, the reputation of the formators will be shaken.
People would give negative feedback to the entire program and this would turn into a larger
Thus, the results of this opus would become an objective starting point for future Family Day
celebrations so that it may be more enjoyable for all that it has been for the past few years.

and, Policy Making which is essential on understanding how these factors affect each other. In
this research, the Annual Family Day of ICS has been assessed. Family Day is a common
activity especially in schools because it promotes developing close family ties with each family
and encourages opening one’s family to another family, which will make a better and happier
community.

As mentioned by Pope Pius XI in his encyclical AD CATHOLICI SACERDOTII, those
chosen for the priestly formation are the cream of the crop 9. This is to say that seminarians are
chosen by their formators to be worth each time they are to proceed to the next level in the
seminary. Their ordination cannot be endorsed lest they prove worthy enough and have fulfilled
their roles as a seminarian. All the aspects of the seminary formation are fulfilled worthily,
namely academics, spirituality, intellectually, and pastorally. Through the many schedules that
they go through, the seminarians become organized and more disciplined. 10 In the end, Pius XI
reminds all that the priest follows the example of Christ.11 Therefore, the formation in the
seminary is all about the human person, making the future shepherds into the person they ought
to be.
Throughout the years of the church, the seminary remains to be an institution that serves to
hone the formation of future priests.12 While at the same time, incorporating her methods and
techniques to the ways of the world and the sign of the times to continue the influx of vocations
to the priesthood.
The researchers define the seminary as a school for students or seminarians who want to
become a priest in the near future. A seminarian is formed in the seminary by the formators.
They are called formators or priests-formators because they are the one who formed the
seminarians to become good Catholics. “A slogan used by educators today is to take where there
are at.”13 It explains that every school has a slogan to advertise their school and take the people
where their future says, when you study in the university or any school, there are many students

but when you study here in the seminary, you will see that there are few students. The difference
of seminary and school is that seminary has the highest standard for the student, for example, the
seminary requires high grade and when you study in the seminary, you are required to study very
hard. On the other hand, when you study in the university, they have a standard for the students,
but the problem is that the teacher or the professor could not teach the students very well because
they are many in the class, unlike here in the seminary, you will not be bored in the class.
“It is a brave person who would give a definitive description of the priesthood for which
14
the contemporary seminarian is being prepared.” Every seminarian needs a brave mind and
heart to pass the trials inside the seminary and they need to be formed by formators for the
preparation for the priesthood. A priest is the one who imitates Christ as himself when he
presides Holy Eucharistic Celebration. A priest is the one who preaches the Good News or
Gospel to other people. According to EG 132: “Proclaiming the Gospel message to diverse
cultures also involves proclaiming it to professional, scientific and academic circles. This means
an encounter between faith, reason and the sciences with a view to developing innovative
approaches and arguments on the issue of credibility, a creative apologetics which would
encourage greater openness to the Gospel on the part of all.” It explains here that the Gospel is
The Family is the smallest unit of the community that plays a key role in every individual’s
upbringing. A healthy, loving family produces healthy individuals. Thus, love must always be
present in every family. This love will be the foundation of all the good things the family will do.
The Catholic Church promotes having a healthy. In a recent encyclical by Pope Francis entitled
14
Ibid, pg. 453.
‘Amoris Laetitia’, he addressed the importance of love on the family and encouraged the families
in their daily commitments and challenges. In the said encyclical, the Pope has addressed many
The encyclical started with this sentence: “The joy of love experienced by families is also the
joy of the Church.”15 Procreation has always been one of the roles of the sacrament of
Matrimony. Thus, the Church promotes having a family to which love will be shared by parents
and children. Today, the sacredness of family has been neglected. There is the incidence of a
broken family or single parenthood that resulted from the loss of love. Broken families often
result from conflict between the parents. It is normal for conflicts to arise, but the love must
always be present because love endures all things with a positive attitude.16
Therefore, in the seminary, the love of the family is also given importance through activities
like Family Day. The annual family day has become an official program, in the seminary
How can we value the importance of the family? Saint John Paul II understands the core
or the centrality of the family. The Holy Father mentioned that the family is “the place where the
education of the person primarily takes place.”17 In line with this continuous celebration of
Family Day in the seminary, education for the seminarians also takes place, as stated by Saint
John Paul II. Clearly, it is essential celebrating the said event because it benefits, not only the

loving arms of a family. The family binds us to the rest of the human community. 18 It is evidently
seen that in this book, it is reminding and teaching everyone that family plays a significant role
in every human being. In relation to the Family Day, through this kind of celebrations, it binds us
or cements our relationship to the rest of the human community and serves as a tangible reminder
Policy Making:
Another related factor in this research are the policies implemented in the event. With the
All the policies can be directly attributed to the formation being done to the seminarians in
their seminary formation. In many ways, the seminary is more than just a boarding school,
designed to prepare young men for the priesthood.19 It is a place where the human aspect of a
young man is molded, in such a way that they are able to respond to Christ’s initial call. This, in
turn, strengthens one vocation and faith so that by the end of their stay in the seminary, they have
become more mature and serve as a role model for future priests or at least good Christians of the
future.,
In terms of policies, there was the consideration of health. During the family day, there
must be a certain policy that must be implemented for the event to become more effective as
expected by the guests. The policy must include the concerns in the health of the guest of the
family day. For this reason, the researchers consulted some books related to the policy-making in
health, by which it will lead the researchers in a positive outcome in making possible policy to be

B. Research Locale
The research was done inside the Immaculate Conception Seminary in Tabe, Guiguinto,
Bulacan. The researchers chose to assess the Family Day 2017, for they were required to conduct
the survey to assess the satisfaction of the parents and guests who attended the event. This
seminary was the Diocesan Seminary in Bulacan, this was composed of different departments
such as the Junior High School Department and the Senior High School Department in the Minor
Seminary, and the Propaedeutic Year, Philosophy, and the Theology Departments in the Major
Seminary. Although there is an event in the given place, the researchers still pursued the

C. Research Participants
The researchers conducted the assessment right after the program of the Family Day as they
distribute the survey forms to the family members of the seminarians who attended the event.
The research population for this study comprised the entire adolescent guests, up to the elderly
guests. Researchers give survey forms to the parents as well as the siblings of the seminarians. In
connection with this, they also gave survey forms to the Formators, personnel, faculty members,
and friends of the seminarians. The researchers gather data using the purposive sampling method
for them to be able to get precise responses from the guests and parents during the Family Day.
The researchers used to distribute the survey forms to the said population as they have the
compatibility answer the question prepared by the researchers that were inter-related to the study
regarding the level of the satisfaction and probable policy during the Family Day 2017.
D. Research Instruments
The instrument of this research makes the study more efficient and precise with no bias
results. The researchers used one instrument to make this study possible. The instrument used to
conduct the study was through the help of survey-questionnaire made by the researchers. This
questionnaire consists of two parts. Part One was about the policy-making which consisted of (5)
questions. The second part was regarding the satisfaction of the said topic, consisting of (11)
questions. These survey forms were designed to gather information about the respondents such

researchers to be able to gather data from the respondents they first formulated the research
After formulating the research problem, the researchers made a list of the information from
the respondents that may help them in forming the answer to the research problem. To be able to
gather the information needed, the researchers allowed themselves in distributing survey forms
to the persons involved in the Family Day 2017. These forms were distributed right after the
program so that the respondents are knowledgeable about the question being asked in the survey
forms. After the respondents answered the questionnaire, the researchers collected all the survey
forms distributed.
The gathered data underwent analysis that helped the researchers to formulate the study about
the level of the satisfaction in Family Day 2017 and the probable policies that may be
The researchers also made a statistical table that directly showed the result of the assessment
F. Ethical Considerations
This opus is grounded in basic truths and nothing else but it. Any biases with regards to the
results of this study and all of the results gathered are strictly from the opinions of the
participants. The role of the researchers is limited to surveying recording and presentation of
results. Opinions regarding the results of the study may vary and the researchers respect this very
opinion. After all, it is the participants (those being surveyed) who will determine the outcome of
For the researchers, it would be unethical to harm anyone with regard to this research in any
retrospect. This includes deceiving the person about the true nature of the study, embarrassing
the respondent by any means, manipulating the data, emotional threat and invading their
privacy.24 Respondents may also be violated by being part of the study without their knowledge,
or by violating the promise of confidentiality. Thus the researchers will make it clear that they
respect the privacy, dignity, and intellectual property of the respondents. That is why in the
questionnaire, they have made a clear disclaimer that the private information of the respondents

will be respected and any significant information in this opus will be sealed and treated with
utmost respect.25
Quantitative Research, from the beginning to its conclusions, is based on numbers. There are
the old sayings that numbers don’t lie. Should any error rise from the researchers’ findings, then
the researchers must have committed an error in the tallying process. However, as stated in the
Assumptions, the researchers determined that they have accomplished their sources effectively
without error.
Originality is the key to a work. To further strengthen any claims made in this opus, the
researcher will utilize various sources in expressing certain viewpoints regarding the topic. The
researchers carefully cited each source to avoid plagiarism and maintain originality. The
