Where faith is dynamic...
Passi, a progressive agro-industrial town boasting of two sugar centrals, was the site of the Assumption's third foundation in Iloilo province. It is located 70 kilometers from Iloilo City.
The Assumption came to Passi upon the request in 1968 of the Auxiliary Bishop of Jaro, Msgr. Jaime Sin, to Mother M, Denyse, Superior General. Accordingly, three Sisters were sent to Passi to start the foundation in 1969.
Aside from running a school, the Sisters also helped in the Parish activities: teaching catechism in the Public Elementary and High Schools, home visitations, visits to the barrios, animation of the liturgy, and youth development programs. Until 1990, they were in charge of the formation of Catechists.
Assumption - Passi is the first Assumption school in the Philippines managed by an Administrative Team chosen from the lay faculty. This is the result of Assumption's thrust: the participation and empowerment of the lay collaborators.
This is also in line with the Church's present vision of sharing with the laity her mission of evangelization.
The school envisions a lay contemplative educational community inspired by the charism of Mother Marie Eugenie, living harmoniously and in solidarity with the church of the poor, witness to the values of Jesus Christ for the transformation of society. Its mission is to form the young and their families through various Christian formations and educational programs and activities, in partnership with Assumption in bringing about the transformation of persons and communities.
