MMCAA History

BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR ROOTS (MARYKNOLL COLLEGE)

1926

As most of us present here would know (and for the younger set to know too) we trace our roots way back to 1926 when Archbishop Michael J. O’Doherty requested from the Maryknoll General Superior, Fr. James Anthony Walsh for educators who could establish a Catholic teacher-training program for Filipino women. On June 9, 1926, the Malabon Practice School, which was later renamed Malabon Normal School was established. The school already offered a 7-grade elementary, a 4-yr. secondary, and a 4-yr. college course in education.

1926

It was also in 1926, November 30 to be exact, that the Maryknoll Sisters’ Founder Mother Mary Joseph came to Malabon for a long visit to the school.

1936 - 1948

In June 1936, the transfer to Manila was made initially at Isaac Peral Street (now known as U.N. Avenue) then to A. Mabini. It was when the Normal School made its move to Manila, that it became known as Maryknoll Normal College. It was in 1948 when Maryknoll College moved to #610 Pennsylvania Avenue from Dewey Boulevard. (now Roxas Boulevard).

1949

Because of the growing school population, a search for a bigger and permanent school ground commenced in 1949.

1950 - 1954

College Day, September 12, 1950; bulldozing started in the Diliman campus grounds. The initial building which included the classroom, cafeteria, convent, and chapel (same building where the current MMCAA office is now located) was ready for use at the beginning of SY 1952-1953. In 1954, the Marian Auditorium (which is home to all our homecoming programs and is now being renovated after 50 glorious years!) was inaugurated.

Present

Undoubtedly, Maryknoll College was the biggest and most prominent work of the Maryknoll Sisters in the Philippines.
