(DSC09213) The Landing of the First St. Paul of Chartres Sisters: This landmark commemorates the centennial of the coming of the sisters of St. Paul of Chartres (SPC) to the Philippines. It was on this site that seven Sisters landed on October 29, 1904 and were joyously welcomed by the people of Dumaguete. They came at the invitation of Bishop Frederick Z. Rooker of the Diocese of Jaro (Iloilo province) to which the island of Negros belonged. The mission of the SPC in the Philippines began with the establishment of the Saint Paul Academy now known as Saint Paul College of Dumaguete. The seven pioneers were Mo. Marthe de Saint Paul Legendre, Sr. Anna de la Croix Anne, Sr. Marie Louise du Sacre Coeur Nivou, Sr. Ange Marie Bannier - all French; Sr. Marie Josephine Rappeport, American; Sr. Catherine de Genes Gutteres, Portuguese from Macau; and Sr. Charles Aho, Chinese.
