Information and Activities

Founded in 1927 as dormitory for lady students of University of Sto. Tomas, it provided the young ladies a good catholic formation, a mission still carried on today. 

 After the first General Chapter in 1934, this house became the Mother House and the official residence of the General Curia until it was transferred to Rome in 1968. 

After the relocation of the General Curia, this became the center of the Vicariate until 1981. From being a Vicariate, it continued to be the seat of the government of the Provincial Curia until today. From 1968 to the present, the Juniorate was housed here.
