St. Paul College, Pasig, is located in St. Paul Road, Brgy. Ugong, Pasig, Philippines. It was established in 1970 when St. Paul University Manila (then St. Paul College, Manila and currently one of the seven campuses comprising the St. Paul University System) decided to relocate their kindergarten, grade school and high school departments to a different area.[1]
History
editThe Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres first arrived in the Philippines on October 29, 1904, on the invitation of Bishop Frederick Z. Rooker of Jaro, Iloilo to open a school in Dumaguete for the "protection of faith". Other invitations followed and more Sisters arrived for a hospital in Iloilo, schools in Vigan, Tuguegarao, and Manila, and a leprosarium in Culion.
The Congregation is now serving forty schools all over the Philippines aside from hospitals and pastoral communities.[2]
