MIRIAM COLLEGE HOST
FAMILY PROGRAM (MCHFP)
- - International
Programs Office, Miriam College
In the
recent months, you may have noticed the
growing number of international students
and foreign guests coming to Miriam
College. There have been instances where
these foreign students/guests have
indicated their interest and preference
to stay with Filipino host families. As
a response to this, the International
Programs Office (IPO) has launched the
Miriam College Host Family Program
(MCHFP)
in 2006. The said program aims not only
to provide foreign students/guests a
place to stay for a few weeks/months
to immerse themselves in the Filipino
way of life but also to provide a venue
to build camaraderie between the host
families and the student/guest. The
program is open to all Miriam College
employees.
For
more information, please get in touch

AMAZING
ALUMNI ACHIEVER
SOLEDAD TOLENTINO CAJUCOM
GS ‘36 HS ‘40
We are truly honored to
cite this pioneer grade school and high
school alumna of Maryknoll in the
Philippines for her unique contribution
to our heritage. Her life exemplifies
the Maryknoll spirit and dedication that
has withstood the true test of time,
manifest in her heroic generosity,
prudence, solid piety and sense of
humor. Though she was the only pioneer
alumna to continue on to a Maryknoll
College education, this was interrupted
in 1941 by World War II. Undeterred,
with the help of her classmates she
personally took care of captive
Maryknoll nuns during the war by
providing food for them, openly and
clandestinely. Today, at the age of 84,
she continues to regularly visit her
pre-war mentors at their retirement
house in Ossining, New York. As first
hand witness to the birth of our school,
she recorded history for us in a piece
called “The Maryknoll Saga.”
