La Consolacion College Manila

With the completion of the Line 2 with stations at Recto and Legarda, La Consolacion College Manila is only minutes away from areas up north like Pasig, Marikina, and Quezon City.

From the south, buses, fxs, and jeepneys find their route to the heart of Mendiola making the college accessible from any part of the metro.

Consuelo Barcelo Auditorium, Gregor Mendel Science Center, and classroom buildings — St. Augustine, Sta.

Monica, Our Lady of Consolation, Kamalayan (which houses the college library), and the Mother Rita Building (also known as LCCM International Center) — La Residencia 1 and 2 (dormitories), occupy the land area.

Placido Chapelle, the Papal Nuncio, offered the first ten Filipino Augustinian Sisters a house at R. Hidalgo St., Quiapo near the Basilica of San Sebastian.

Chapelle convinced the sisters, Agustinas Terciarias, to cease the operation of their asilo-colegio and to establish a defined school for women whose objective was to provide training and instruction to those intending to pass the civil service examination.

The Filipino Augustinian Sisters who founded the school were the same group given the order to disband by the Father Provincial of the Augustinian Order in 1899 during the Philippine–American War when the remaining Catalan Sisters, Sor Rita Barcelo y Pages and Sor Consuelo Barcelo y Pages, left for Spain.

A commencement exercise was held in November for the graduates of 1944-45 before the Junior Normal was reopened on December of the same year.

When the school turned 75, the Mother Rita Barcelo Pastoral Formation Center (MRBPFC) was established as a non-formal educational unit geared towards community assistance.
