BENEDICTINE NUNS OF THE EUCHARISTIC KING

The Benedictine Nuns of the Eucharistic King is a contemplative community
which seeks God through a humble, simple and hidden life centered on the Eucharist,
for the glory of God and the sanctification of man. It was founded on December 18, 1931
by Rev. Mother Edeltraud Danner, OSB, (the first Benedictine Abbess in the Far East)
and then Bishop Santiago Sancho (1st Filipino bishop of Nueva Segovia) to be a
spiritual wellspring of the Church and to collaborate with the Benedictine Sisters in the
great field of mission of the Church. Now in their 78th year, the nuns carry on the prime
apostolate of prayer and sacrifices in the cloister amidst a rapidly changing world.
Rooted in the Benedictine tripod of prayer, work and lectio divina, their daily schedule
likewise provides for periods of recreation to ensure equilibrium in their monastic life.
Their communities are engaged in the ceaseless praise and adoration of God primarily
in the holy Eucharist flowing into the Divine Office which sanctifies the hours and the
round-the-clock adoration of the Blessed Sacrament exposed on the altar. Each time
they sing with one voice, their praises echo beyond the abbey walls at Fatima to
embrace the world and lift mankind to God. As spouses of Christ, they endeavor to
follow Christ faithfully by offering their lives and all they do, great or small, to the
Eucharistic King. Following the legacy of their foundress' life - they say "Opera Mea
Regi"
From its re-establishment after the Liberation in 1945 by Fr. Alphonse Mildner,
the school expanded into a co-educational catholic college under its 1st Filipino Director,
Rev. Panfilo Gianan, SVD. The College also ffers Non-Formal Education as its way of
community involvement. For purposes of rising up to the demands of contemporary
education, DWCV is pursuing a voluntary and private accreditation in all through the
direction of the Philippine Ace Association of Schools, Colleges and Unicarse
(PAASCU). DWCV continues to be guided in s service to the youth and the nation by
motio SEMPER FIDELIS!
The Congregation of Benedictine Sisters of Eucharistic King which combines

monastic life and missionary work, was part of the Benedictines of the Eucharistic King
(BEK) founded in the Philippines by Rev. Edeltraud Danner, OSB in 1931. It has its
origin in Benedictine tradition of the Immaculate Heart ofMary Abbey in Vigan, with
which it special of affection and mutual collaboration Inspired guided by their vision of
glorifying God through the lEucharistic King, in all things at all time, the Sisters' prayer
life is nourished by the Word of God and the Sacraments mainly in the Holy Sacrifice of
Eucharist, the center of their life and mission. Their common life is expressed in praying
and working together, in sharing material and spiritual goods, mutual service and
encouragement. Through the daily life, in which the Sisters seek God and praise him,
the Communities aim to be centers of Christian life, witnessing to and sharing their
spiritual richness to those who seek their hospitality.
The Congregation collaborates in the mission of the Church by participating in

the work of evangelization of local Churches through the liturgical, biblical, catechetical
and pastoral ministries, responding to the needs the time; helping the people among
whom they live and work. The BSEK run the St. Benedict Institute, a catechetical school
which trains men and women for the work of evangelization in the Church. Today SBI
Catechists find themselves in many parts of the country involved catechetical instruction
in parishes and schools.
SISTERS OF ST. PAUL OF CHARTRES
The Congregation of the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres 21st century, is a "family
without frontiers. its humble beginnings in the little French village Levesville-la- Chenard,
in the year 1696, the Congregation has today, no less than 4000 Sisters dispersed in
countries, spanning 5 continents of the globe. The speak and pray in diverse tongues,
living according the cultures and customs of the places they lived in.
The Sisters are committed to making the love of Christ known especially to those
who have less in life. The apostolic life is Christ-centered and draws inspiration from the
life and teachings of St. Paul, the Apostle to t gentiles. In 1708, the Congregation known
only as the "Daughters of the School" settled in Chartres, France where they were
entrusted to the protection of Man Our Lady of Chartres
In 2004, the Sisters of St. Paul celebrated their first 100 years of life and mission
in the Philippines, It was a jubilee that brought much joy to them and the people they had
served through their original charisms of teaching, healing and uplifting the lives of
Christ's poor as their founders had done through the frightful years of the French
Revolution
Today, from Aparri in the north to Cotabato in the South, the Sisters of St. Paul
are very much part of the country's history and the future of education. In Blocos Sur
alone, there are three Paulininan schools: St. Paul College of Ilocos Sur in Bantay and
San Vicente, Blocos Sur (f. 1905), St. Joseph Institute in Candon City (1930), and St.
William Institute in Magsingal, Ilocos Sur (f. 1945)
CONGREGATION OF THE MISSIONARY SISTERS OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF

MARY
The Congregation of the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary was
formerly known as Missionary Canoness of St. Augustine. The congregation more
familiarly known as ICM (Immaculate Cordis Maria) was born in India when Mother
Marie Louise then a religious of the Canoness of St. Augustine in Leper, Belgium,
answered the call to take care of orphans, the sick and the handicapped children of
Mulagomoodu, India. After many hardships which included her separation from her
congregation, Mother Marie Louise left for India with a novice in 1879 and founded this
new Congregation. It was in 1910 that Mother Foundress reached the shores of
Tagudin, Ilocos Sur in the Philippines, where she started the first ICM Community. Over
the years, more Belgian Sisters came over. Soon after, the ICM caught fire in the hearts
of young Filipinos
The Philippine Mission is deeply concerned with the aspirations and struggles of
people everywhere. They live their Mother Foundress' legacy: "Let your heart be as wide
and as great that the whole world may find room in it." In all their apostolic involvements,
they aspire to grow together with their people, especially with the poor, toward freedom
and justice, unity and fullness of life in God. While responding to their aspirations and
needs, they carry at heart the safeguarding and engendering of the earth, the unfolding
of Creation and total development of peoples, together with the radical transformation of
relationships and structures in our society in the realization of God's reign.
From their earliest days in the Philippines, the call to Mission has been centered
on formal education. Fully engaged in this field are Sisters who touch the lives of the
students on all levels from prep, grade school, high school to college. They offer their
services as administrators, teachers, and non-academic personnel (finance,
maintenance, canteen). Majority of these are private educational institutes and several
cater exclusively to women. Hand in hand with formal education and often in the same
mission places, the Sisters allow themselves to be disturbed by the urgent needs of the
poor and marginalized, and by their deep aspiration to mature in their faith. Their
apostolic involvements, although varied, are largely parish-based and geared toward
building Basic Ecclesial Communities. They also work with government, non-
governmental organizations and other Church-related institutions supportive of the poor
and the marginalized
SISTERS OF ST. CLARE (SSC)

The Sisters of St. Clare (SSC) is an offshoot of the Order of St. Clare or the Poor
Clares, as they are popularly called. The community wishes to establish a way of life
today closer to the initial founding spirit of St. Clare's contemplative program for the
movement she inspired by her own life and the teachings of St. Francis of Assisi.
Evangelical fraternity is the distinguishing character of the Sisters of St. Clare. Poverty is
lived as a response to the love of the Lord.
It is lived far beyond the giving up of material possessions a manifestation of their
complete confidence as daughter who entrust themselves wholly to the hands of the
heavenly Father. The Sisters' basic practice is the sanctification of the hours through
prayer, contemplation a manual labor.
The Sisters arrived in Cabugao, Ilocos Sur on Ja 20, 1995 in pursuit of simple
living. Then Archi Orlando Quevedo of Nueva Segovia accepted them Nueva Segovia.
Their convent is in Barangay Subang, Cabugao, Ilocos Sur. They received recognition
as private association on June 24, 2001 by Archbishop Edmundo Abaya who stood as
their founder
BENEDICTINE SISTERS OF DIVINE MERCY (BSDM)
Sr. Mary Gemma Bering, BSDM, was accepted by Archbishop Orlando Quevedo,
OMI to do her mission for the Archdiocese on March 19, 1996. The BSDM vision-mision
outlines that inspired by the charity and divine mercy of God and listening to the
persistent cry of the poor and the anguish of the increasing number of indigent people in
our society, they cater to those who are oftentimes helplessly neglected and abandoned
because of poverty. They are "moved with compassion" (Mark 8,2) to help them in their
needs and to restore and promote their Christian human dignity as redeemed and
adopted sons and daughters of our loving and merciful Father in heaven
