Encyclopedia
St. Joseph College, Cavite City
(SJC) is a Roman Catholic learning institution located in San Roque, Cavite City
, Philippines
. It was established in 1945 and is run by the Augustinian Recollect Sisters. The first opening of classes was on July 2, 1945. The first school building was then known as St. Joseph Institute, and in 1947, it was renamed to St. Joseph College. Today, St. Joseph College, Cavite City offers education
from Preschool to Graduate School.
During the early post liberation days of 1945, the late Msgr. Pedro Lerena was the parish priest of San Roque Church in Cavite City
. He looked for an opportunity to propose his plan to the Very Reverend Mother Rosario Rosales, then Superior General of the Congregation of the Augustinian Recollect Sisters, of having a Catholic school in the City of Cavite
.
The Superior General of the Congregation
of the Augustinian Recollect Sisters sent the very first group of Sisters: Sr. Ma Celina Magcawas, as the Superior-Principal, Sr. Caridad Salazar and Sr. Margarita Ponce, as her companion. They were led by Sr. Ma. Celina Magcawas as their local community superior.
The sisters
rented an old two-storey house
on a lot directly across the street
at the back entrance of the San Roque
Parish Church and near the sea in a quite residential section of the city. On July 2, 1945, classes were opened and this became the first school building and known as Saint Joseph
Institute
. Inauguration
was made in the presence of Very Reverend Mother General Rosario Rosales and a group of Sisters.
From its humble beginnings as St. Joseph Institute
, it was renamed St. Joseph College
in 1947. The School
has blossomed into one of the most respectable educational institutions not only in Cavite City
but also in the entire province
of Cavite
. The Augustinian Recollect Sisters take turns in managing the School. The school’s expansion in buildings and program
offerings is in response to the needs and aspirations of the people in the community
. An additional baccalaureate
program
was added at a time when Hotels and Restaurants were beginning to operate in the suburbs as a result of expatriates moving into the province
due to the opening and development of an export processing zone in the nearby town of Rosario, Cavite
.
The School
Administrators
have initiated several innovations; one of which is the construction of a Mock
Hotel
that will house the HRM students for their practicum
.
A building
for the grade school department
was also built after the construction of the simulation
hotel
. Apart from that, the school
has already managed to have the School Chapel
renovated and all the classrooms airconditioned. Additional laboratory
materials were also purchased for the various laboratories of High School
and College
; while the Skills Laboratory
of the Institute
of Health Sciences has been upgraded to keep up with the demands of the nursing
program. The Learning
Resource Center or the library
is continuously acquiring newly published books to help students in their assignments and requirements. Computers with internet
access have also been provided to all laboratories and offices.
