Information and Activities

In 1957, the Sisters acquired the Holy Child Jesus Institute in Unisan, Quezon from a diocesan Priest, Fr. Jose Salvania. The Sisters saw that the school was a good prospect for an extension of its mission since it is situated in  rural area and that the people were poor. Upon its acquisition its name was immediately changed to Dominican Academy. The sisters continue to maintain the school despite its financial difficulties. These difficulties did not hinder them to provide complete basic education (K-12) to the poor in this area.  

In April 2009, after staying in a deteriorated house for so many years, the Sisters are now living in a newly built convent.  

Through all those years the school remained to be a mission school of the Province and the sisters continue to serve the school with joy and dedication.
