Abstract/Summary
This study traces the historical background of St. Anthony's College (SAC) and San Vicente Institute (SVI), two schools managed by the Franciscan Apostolic Sisters (FAS). The researcher employed the historical and descriptive survey types of research. The principal instrument used was a questionnaire supplemented by the interview, observation and documentary analysis. Sources of data were the responses of Father Gerard Filippetto, O.F.M. and Father Felicisimo Herrera, founders of the two schools, responses of past and present administrators, graduates and selected people in the community to the questionnaire given to them. Data was treated statistically using percentages, simple frequency count and rank order.
From the findings of the study the following conclusions were drawn: 1) St. Anthony's College and San Vicente Institute were established by the two priests mainly for the welfare of the people in terms of strengthening the Catholic faith in their respective communities and in providing Catholic education to the people at the least expense. 2) SAC and SVI have undertaken long, hard and gradual process of development. 3) The strengths and weaknesses of SAC and SVI are different from each other. SAC has its strength in her sufficient facilities, equipment, textbooks and library materials while SVI has its strength in the administrative staff. SAC is weak in her poor faculty line-up while SVI has inadequate facilities, equipment and library holdings and also in having a poor faculty line-up. 4) A great majority of the graduates of SAC and SVI contributed in one way or another, to the religious educational, economic, social and cultural development of the communities of Sta. Ana and Solana, Cagayan. 5) It appeared that SAC, a congregational school has an advantage over SVI which is a diocesan school. 6) The Franciscan Apostolic Sisters have contributed in their own little way to the growth and development of SAC and SVI.
