History

Occ. (Philippines), the school provides kindergarten to high school education for approximately 500 students.

Under the supervision of the La Salle Christian Brothers, St. Francis of Assisi School has grown into a leading institution in the City of Silay.  More


Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
when there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
