Mission

Moved by the spirit of our Lady of Consolation, inspired by the life, teachings of St. Augustine and virtues of Mo. Rita and Mo. Consuelo, we commit ourselves to the following mission elements:

• ·        A humble caring, compassionate educative community
• ·        A responsible nationalist Filipino
• ·        A style that is sensitive to the individuality of a person
• ·        A pedagogical approach that is innovative
• ·        and transformative
• ·        A passionate service especially to the poor that is empowering and liberating
• ·        Stewards of God’s creation
• ·        Communion of minds and heart on the way to God

La Consolacion College has a partner farm school that supports students from area that are far away from the city who can't afford to travel to the school everyday. The Bais Family Farm School located in Sitio Cantugot, Brgy. Sab-ahan Bais City in Negros Oriental have a unique approach to education where students spend one week living at the school, then spend the next two weeks studying at home and applying what they learned at school in their own farms. This alternating cycle allows students to continue their education while still being able to contribute to their family’s livelihood.

Hilutungan Island (The Island of Hope and Promise)

Gilutungan Island is one of the islands in the Olango Reef and is a part of the Municipality of Cordova, Cebu, Philippines. This beautiful island is 20 to 30 minutes away from Mactan Island. The island is perfect for dive sites, snorkeling and the like.

With its very beautiful shoreline and marine life, it can't be denied that the people living in this island is in need of assistance.

With 390 families in 309 houses, this community lives through fishing, island hopping boat drivers and seaweed planting. And so, poverty still continues to plague the people of Hilutungan Island. With much greater demands of the basic needs today, fishing and the frequent influx of the tourists still can't suffice the needs of the people.

 An educational facility is present in the are but until Grade 7 only. Potable water is scarce and the people would have to travel to the neighboring mainland (Cordova) to get water supply. A rain catchment is present but still couldn't suffice the thirst of the 390 families in the island most especially during the summer where the sun is scorching hot. Electrical supply is also an issue in the island. A public electric generator is present but can only supply electricity to the whole island for as far as 5 hours in the night. A single solar panel is present in the school area but still couldn't suffice the need of electricity for school for a whole day.

With this predicament, let us help lift the lives of the people of Hilutungan. Together, hand in hand, we can make a difference.

Don't just feel it but make a change.

Reach us and together we'll make difference.
