BRIEF HISTORY OF MOUNT CARMEL COLLEGE BALER

 Catholicism took on a new life in Baler when (3) pioneering Discalced Carmelite Friars (OCD) arrived in 1947 on the invitation of the First Lady, Dona Aurora Quezon, the wife of President Manuel Luis Quezon, and on the approval of the Bishop of Lipa, by Alfredo Versoza, DD.

 Soon after, Mount Carmel High School – Baler, now known as Mount Carmel College (MCC) was born. The school started operating on June 23, 1948 with ninety-six (96) students, six of whom where seniors, who received their high school diplomas at the end of the school year under the directorship of Father Gabriel Gates, OCD (1947-1951) and Father Leo McCrudden who died at Baler sea on July 6, 1948. Mother Asuncion Mendiola became the first principal.

On August 9, 1951, the school was incorporated under the laws with incorporation No. 6242 and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-stock corporation. The first Board of Trustees was composed of the following: Bp. Patrick Shanley, Fr. Andrew Le Fevere, Father Herman J. Esselman, Fr. Richard Gates. Mother Asuncion became member of the board.

 Soon After, the following succeeded as Director, Father Basil Nolan, OCD (1954-1955) Father Athanasius Danieletti, OCD (1955-1956). Father Herman J. Esselman, OCD (1958-1961), Father Andrew Le Fevere, OCD (1961-1964), Father Simon Lindgren, OCD (1962-1963), Father Dominic Sheerer, OCD (1964-1967), Father Alfred Wood, OCD (1968-1970) Father Arnold Boehme, OCD (1970-1971) and Father Ignatius Read, OCD (1971-1973).

In August of 1973, Father Allan Reiger, OCD took over as a Director and at the same time as Episcopal Vicar of Education for the whole Prelature of Infanta. He was succeeded by Sr. Bernadette Rodriguez, CM in 1974-1976 as Directress. Mr. Epitacio S. Palispis became the first President in 1976 to 1982 while Father Allan Reiger as the first Executive Vice-President in 1980.

 On the event that the Carmelite Fathers were moving out of Infanta, the SFIC Sisters took over with the invitation of Bishop Julio Labayen in 1982. Since then, the Office of the President shall be the Bishop of Infanta. Sr. Francine Pacis was the first SFIC Sister wo served as EVP followed by Sr. Mercedes E. Salud, SFIC in 1986 and Sr. Esperanza L. Vistro, SFIC in 1994. At the turn of year 2000, Sr. Tarcela O. Taa, SFIC became the EVP until November of 2003. On December 2003, Fr. Edwin C. Agapay became Acting Executive Vice-President until May 2004. He was succeeded by Sr. Mary Paul A. Plasabas, SFIC on the same monthe of 2004 to December 2008. For health reason, Sr. Mary Paul resigned and Miss Nida V. Hugo became the OIC-EVP until June 2009.

 The grade school opened with 35 enrollees in 1956. Government recognition for the entire grade school department came in 1959.

 Because of the demand of the people and the clamor of the youth to have a college in the locality, the college department was opened in June 12, 1961 with a one-year Commercial Science and the Liberal Arts Program as main course offerings with Mr. Jose Manalo as first College Dean. The following year, the government recognition for Bachelor of Science in Education and Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education degrees came. In 1966 the areas of specialization in Bachelor in Science in Education were given permit by the government. MCC offered Bachelor in Science in Commerce Major in Economics in 1978 and BSC major in accounting in 1985. The latter was phased out in 1993.

 Meanwhile the 60’s saw the strengthening of Catholic education with the organizations of the Legion of Mary, the Solidarity of our Lady of the Catechist’s Club. During these years, the Students Aide Program was likewise introduced to help the financially poor but academically capable students to finish a college education. On August 1965, the Carmelite Missionaries (CM) sisters arrived and assisted the Carmelite Fathers in the administration of Institution until 1982.

 The 70’s marked the growth of social awareness and consequently challenged the school to direct its education for social justice and respect for dignity of persons. The school thus redefined is thrust towards the formation of Christians who are witnesses to God’s love and are active participants in the improvement of life in the locality.

 The desire for a more relevant Christian education that is in keeping with the spirit and need of the times continued in the 80’s. On invitation of the Most. Rev. Julio X. Labayen, OCD, Bishop-Prelature of Infanta, the Franciscan Sister of Immaculate Conception (SFIC) arrived in 1982 in MCC. Since then, the School administration was entrusted the formulation of the Mission Statement of Mount Carmel Schools in the Prelature. The statement explicated the thrust to build the Church of the Poor.

 MCC formulated its first Mission statement in 1987. The statement focused on holistic human formation of its academic community.

 In 1990, the need for a more relevant and contextualized Christian Formation Program was felt. This led to setting up of the CFP Office with Ms.  Nida V. Hugo as first Coordinator.

 The 90’s posed much bigger challenges to Christian education. The 1995 Prelature Pahayag envisions a Christian education that would form the people and the community into active and dynamic participants in shaping history. Consequently, MCC aligned its thrusts and objectives with the Pahayag. Aspiring to be truly the Church of the Poor, MCC strives to promote fullness of life and the nurturance of humanizing relationships.

 To keep pace with technological growth and progress, MCC offered new programs in school year 1995-1996. These are BS Accountancy, Computer Secretarial and Computer Science. In school year 1997-1998, the Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education major in Religious Education was offered to answer the need of the community for teachers in the Christian Formation subjects.

 In response to the clamor for a more suitable venue for formation activities such as retreats and recollections, a two storey retreat house was constructed. The building was dedicated to Most Reverend Julio X. Labayen, OCD, Bishop of Prelature of Infanta on July 23, 1999. On the same day, the Bishop Julio X. Labayen Scholarship Fund for the financially poor but academically capable students of the prelature was launched.

 The turn of the Third Millennium signaled the advancement of information technology to meet the demands of all times; MCC ventured on putting-up courses that would benefit its clientele in response to the challenges of globalization. Additional programs were offered which include Bachelor of Science in Criminology and Caregiver training Program. In the year 2002, the MCC Internet Laboratory was set up to further strengthen the school’s thrusts in technological growth and progress.

 On December 2006, the CHED approved changed of nomenclature from Bachelor of Science in Commerce major in Marketing and Economics to Bachelor of Science in Business Administration major in Marketing, Financial and Human Resource Development Management.

 The Basic Education Department was granted Certificate of Accreditation Level 1 by PAASCU during the SY 2001-2002. On December 9, 2005, Certificate of Accreditation Level II was granted. Re-Accreditation was conducted on January 2011 and the corresponding Certificate of Accreditation was issued on May 13, 2011.

 On July 2009, the Franciscan sisters of the Immaculate Conception (SFIC) moved out of the Prelature of Infanta. They were succeeded by Fr. Andres A. Lumasac as the Executive Vice-President and Fr. Nilvon Co Villanueva as Financial Administrator.

 The Carmelite Missionary Sisters of St. Therese of the Child Jesus arrived in June 2010 to take over the Christian Formation of school upon the invitation of the Most  Rev. Rolando J. Tria Tirona, OCD, Bishop-Prelature of Infanta.

Part XIV.   SCHOOL LOGO

 

 

 

” With zeal have I been zealous for the

Lord God of Hosts”

 

The words “zelo zelatus sum pro Domino Deo exercitum” are derived from the Third Book of Kings (now known as The First Book of Kings), Chapter 19, Verse 10 of the Old Testament of the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Bible completed by Saint Jerome in 405 A.D.

 

“Zelo zelatus sum pro Domino Deo exercitum” are the words spoken by the Prophet Elijah in Mount Sinai when the Lord spoke to him and asked him, “What doest thou here, Elijah?”The statement of Elijah, therefore, is a confession of his faith in the Lord God of Israel. The words “zelo zelatus” can be translated literally into two ways. With the Zeal have I been zealous to Lord God of Hosts,” The modern literal translation is: “Lord God Almighty, I have always served You – You alone.

PANALANGIN NG CARMELIAN

 

Maria aming Ina

igawa mo ako ng pusong mapagpakumbaba at payak

na patuloy na naghahanap sa Panginoon.

 

Igawa mo ako ng pusong matatag at marangal sa

hindi pananghihinaan ng loob

sa mga pagkatalo at pagkabigo.

 

Isang pusong hindi nagtatanim ng galit at marunong

magpatawad na kung hindi nauunawaan ay

mananatili pa ring tapat.

 

Igawa mo ako ng isang pusong marunong dumamay

sa paghihirap ng iba.

 

Pusong marunong magpahalaga sa mumunting

 biyaya ng pag-ibig.

 

Pusong patuloy na nagbibigay kahit pasakitan at

 

Pusong buong layang naglilingkod para sa bansa at

sa sambayanan ng Diyos.

 

Pusong kailaman ay hindi nawawalan ng pag-asa sa

mga nagbabantang pagsubok.

 

O Maria, Ina ng Diyos at aking Ina

Ihubog mo ako ng pusong katulad ng kay Kristo.

Puno ng pag-ibig ng Ama at para sa lahat.

Isang pusong pinaghaharian ng Espiritu ng pag-ibig.
