Towards Quality Institutional Orphanage and Catholic SPED School ( Since 1996)
God's loving concern for the poor and suffering children inspired the Dominican Sisters of St. Joseph to extend their Apostolate in Nueva Ecija, a province in the Philippines, where they were wholeheartedly welcomed, inspired and further encouraged by his Excellency, Most Rev. Sofio G. Balce D.D., Bishop of Cabanatuan.
In June 15, 1996 marked the beginning of the newly established apostolate. A thanksgiving mass celebrated by Bishop Balce and Fr. Danilo Cipriano, Parish Priest of San Antonio Nueva Ecija was held followed by the blessing opening of the orphanage in a rented family residence of the late Bishop Vicente P. Reyes D.D., this would be the temporary home for the nine (9) orphans and four (4) Sisters assigned by Mother Dorothea Gutierez, O.P., Superior General of the Congregation to take care of these little ones. Sr. Leoncia V. Mateo, O.P. head and directs the apostolate together with three Sisters, Sr. Rafaela Reyes, O.P. Sr. Zenaida Salamat, O.P. and Sr. Elisa Fausto, O.P.
