The Chapel's History


   
 



By surviving the ravages of World War II, this chapel is considered as the SPC Congregation's oldest historical building in the Philippines. When the Philippines was bombed on December 8, 1941, the school had to close and its future was placed in jeopardy. Japanese soldiers occupied the school compound and in 1945, during the battle of Manila, the Japanese army burned and blew up the chapel. When the Sisters were able to return, the found the remains of more than 120 massacred victims inside the chapel.
