About Us
November 25, 1959, in the parish of Saint Rita Balingasag, Misamis Oriental, a small group of women humbly asked permission from the parish priest, Monsignor Teofilo B. Camomot to serve in his parish. Here the first pioneer house was erected and the group was named the Daughters of Saint Teresa.
