Teresa's Light, Woman of Service

What is Teresa's Light?

It has been more than 60 years since St. Theresa's College, Quezon City was founded. Through the years, STC,QC has nurtured and produced solid individuals who have succeeded in living the Christian values in which they were raised. Among these are special women who have responded to the call of service to which their alma mater is deeply committed.

These special alumnae - proudly Theresians - have to be recognized. It is in this spirit and with this intention that the Teresa's Light was conceived.

The Teresa's Light is a recognition. It acknowledges the exemplary service-oriented and values-directed women whose lives manifest the Christian education holistically.
