STUDENT’S PRAYER

O Glorious St. Anthony, Divinely endowed with the learning of Saints, I desire to place my studies under your protection. Guided by your example, I wish to draw all my knowledge from the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

With your assistance, I will study, to do my duty in the spirit of penance and with a pure intention.

May the father of light grant me, through your intercession, a bright intellect, a sound judgment and a retentive memory.

Help me to study patiently, orderly and constantly to develop in me the gifts of God and always to make good use of them according to His divine will.

O Dear St. Anthony, grant me to succeed in all my studies and examinations if it is for the greater glory of God and the benefit of my soul.

Amen.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

St. Anthony College is a relatively young and promising institution of higher learning. The opportunity to put up the Institution was recognized in response to the growing needs of the youth in Oriental Mindoro. Through the initiative of the incorporators, the opportunity came into reality.

St. Anthony College emerged as full-fledged College in 2004. It was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a Private Non-Sectarian Stock Corporation and granted a permit by the Commission on Higher Education to open initial courses. The existence of the institution was made possible through the consolidated efforts of its directors namely, Atty. Bayani C. Delos Reyes, Dr. George C. Cordero, Mrs. Milagros C. Catibog, Mr. Felix P. Reyes and Mr. Paul L. Erazo. Making also remarkable contribution in the opening of the College were Atty. Bayani C. Delos Reyes, its first president, Mrs. Betty D. Landicho, the Registrar and Mrs. Cynthia Mendoza, the Program Coordinator. Another strong pillar in the founding of the College was Sr. Maria Concepcion G. Cajilig, O.P. who served the College as Dean of Academic Affairs.

In the school year 2004-2005, the College started to offer Bachelor of Science in Nursing with total enrollees of 150. CHED granted a two-year level permit during the administration of Dr. Maria Rita C. Ortiz. The College also opened the two-year course Associate in Computer Technology leading to Bachelor of Science in Information Technology with 84 students. The following year Bachelor of Science in Business Administration was added. Different TESDA courses were also offered like two-year Computer Science, Two-year Computer Secretarial and Two-year Computer Technician.

This school year 2007-2008, the courses being offered increased to Six Bachelor’s Degree Programs and 14 short-term courses ranging from one semester to three-year courses. The administrative staff serving the College are seventeen in all with 300 students. The present Administrator, Mr. Jamesy I. Reyes with all faculty and staff are exhausting all means for the College to offer additional programs and serve more people.
