The Sisters are from the Religious Order of Santa Mariana de Jesus Sisters an Ecuadorian Congregation founded on April 14, 1873 by Blessed Mercedes de Jesus Molina
We arrived here in the Philippines last June 2000 and upon learning a little Tagalog in obedience to our Superiors we settled in Mariveles, Bataan living in a small house our Parish Priest rented for us, since then we began to do Pastoral work, catechesis and served the disabled children during 5 years.
Thru many efforts we bought a lot and established a mission house, later year 2007; we began to fulfil a new dream IN BEHALF OF THE UNDERPRIVILEDGED CHILDREN thus, THE SANTA MARIANA DE JESUS ACADEMY, INC a Charitable school was born.
The school is registered at SEC and DEPed, as NON-STOCK INSTITUTION created with the purpose to cooperate for the Empowerment and Development of the poor children and their families thru good quality and free education open to all without distinction.
This project is being possible thanks to the generous hands of many people, it is what we call the CHAIN OF LOVE which makes possible to send 1 child to school thru the program ADOPT A CHILD. We have created this so we can pay our teachers and maintain the school. It consists that a family or person will spiritually adopt this child as a member of their family, being accepted with love they will support his/her studies.
This project started last June 14, 2007 with the School’s blessing by Most Reverend Bishop Socrates Villegas, Bishop of the Diocese of Balanga. It is located at 6-044 Brgy Camaya, Mariveles, in the Province of Bataan.
Since September 2000 we have been witnesses of the different needs and difficulties due to extreme poverty: children and youth out of school. So that is why we saw it necessary to create the “Santa Mariana de Jesus Academy”.
