About

History of St. Bernadette of Lourdes College

St. Bernadette of Lourdes College, a private educational institution, bears the name of Saint Bernadette of Lourdes, a revered figure known for her resilience in the face of adversity and her unwavering faith. Saint Bernadette is the patroness of illness, those ridiculed for their piety, poverty, shepherds, shepherdesses, and Lourdes, France. These values of compassion, faith, and service have been at the heart of the college’s mission since its inception.

Founding and Vision

The college was founded on February 12, 2003, a significant date that coincides with the Feast Day of Saint Bernadette of Lourdes. Its establishment was the result of the dedication and vision of a group of professional healthcare providers who aspired to create an institution that would not only offer academic excellence but also instill a strong sense of purpose and empathy in its students.
