A CENTURY OF LIGHT: Generations celebrate Miriam College’s historic 100th Foundation Day

On 12 September 2026, generations of Maryknoll and Miriam College alumni gathered at the Fairmont Makati for The Centennial Night, a historic gala celebrating the institution’s 100th Foundation Day and its century-long legacy of faith, leadership and service.

The milestone evening connected the school’s past and future through vibrant alumni performances and a heritage fashion presentation by celebrated designer and alumna Patis Tesoro.

A major highlight was the launch of the commemorative coffee table book, The Legacy We Carry: 100 Years from Maryknoll to Miriam, a landmark publication crafted by volunteer alumni writers — including Carla M. Pacis, Leah Eriguel, Dr. Patricia B. Licuanan and Kara Magsanoc-Alikpala — that profiles 100 alumni embodying the values of the Maryknoll Sisters.

Serving as the grand finale to a year of alumni-led initiatives like the MC100 Golf Cup and the 25th Philippine Robotics Olympiad, the celebration honored a rich history while inspiring future generations to continue to “Learn, Lead and Light the World.”
