The first St. Theresa’s College in the Philippines was established in 1915 by Reverend Mother Louise de Meester who also founded the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It was located on San Marcelino Street in Ermita, Manila. In 1980, after 65 years, STC Manila was closed to enable the congregation to render missionary work. The campus site was sold to Adamson University’s Vincentian Fathers. By that time, STC Manila had been home to 6,329 secondary and college graduates who, in various capacities, became highly regarded for their Theresian ideals and strong work ethics.
