The theme for the said event is:
"Ganito Kami Noon... Ganito na Kami Ngayon.
Relive, Revive, Reminisce
the Solidarity & Strength
of the
Josephine Sisterhood."
The chosen theme is in commemoration of the school's motto: Sapientia, Bonitas, Caritas. (Wisdom, Goodness and Love).
St. Joseph's College of Quezon City, formerly St. Joseph's Academy (SJA) was founded 75 years ago by Dutch Franciscan Sisters. Formally inaugurated with only 40 pupils in 1933, St. Joseph’s Academy received its college status in 1947 and its recognition in 1948. SJA officially became St. Joseph ’s College of Quezon City in 1948 with the opening of the college department that offered programs in different fields of study. Its core values never wavered throughout the years which are to foster simplicity, truth, justice, peace, and integrity of creation.
After 25 years, the Silver Jubilarians are ecstatic to "come home" to pay tribute to the Alma Mater that instilled the very same values in their hearts and nourished their minds to be the persons they are today... learned, loving, peaceful, and with great respect and regard for truth, justice and integrity of life.
All Alumni and former students of the school, including their families and friends are invited to grace the occasion as well as participate in the series of exciting pre-homecoming events that Batch 88 has prepared! Fund raising activities are also lined up and part of the proceeds shall be for the benefit of the rehabilitation of the Mater Dei Auditorium (MDA), to help restore the now idle facility to its former beauty and glory. Every Josephine, on one occasion or another, surely had some beautiful memories inside the MDA where grand school celebrations were held such as the first communion of grade 3 students, oratorical competitions, annual songfests, concerts, holy masses in honor of the school's patron saints, St. Joseph and St. Francis of Assisi and even the graduation rites!
Aside from the MDA's rehabilitation, Batch 88 also wishes to give back and thank the school personnel, such as the cleaning staff, librarians, cafeteria personnel, laboratory custodians and not to forget the well-loved traffic man, Mang Bert who helped the Josephines cross the streets safely to school and on their way home. All contributions and donations to these causes will be very much appreciated. Advertisers and sponsors for the event are likewise welcome. Please visit the Official SJCQCHS88 Website for more details! You may contact the Batch 88 Secretariat for inquiries on how to join the cause & participate in the fun.

Cheers to the Alumni Homecoming of St. Joseph College of Quezon City! My nephews and niece are all studying in the same school. I hope you can link us to Alumni who can interview them for scholarship program. I am writing particularly for gradeschooler Jason Patrick S. Manawis who is a consistent honor student, and a poet. I can send his recognition certificates and as well as his edifying poems to the person who would respond to this call. Their family is undergoing financial difficulties that continue to threaten their schooling. Much appreciated. samonteza.mihlgrace@gmail.com
