The Foundation Year. Mother Alice de St. Paul Huchery, the provincial Superior, assigned three Sisters to open a school at the Parish of Sts. Peter and Paul at the request of Fr. Lazaro Ochuga, the parish priest. Fr. Ochuga vacated his quarters to reside with a parishioner’s family to give way to Kindergarten and Grades 1 & 2 classes. The three Sisters, Sister Marie Catherine Pimentel, Sister Eugene Lourdes Santiago, and Sister Marie Clotilde of the Cross Andes, resided with the Sisters of Hospital Español de Santiago, an administered hospital of the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres.
