Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro - University, Colleges and Schools

University, Colleges and Schools

To respond to the need for Catholic education, there is one university (Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan, run by the Jesuits), and 6 colleges (Lourdes, St. Rita’s, Christ the King, and St. Mary’s, run by the RVM Sisters; and Fatima College in Mambajao, run by the Religious Sisters of Mercy). Most of the Catholic educational institutions were either founded by Archbishop Hayes himself or founded during his time.

There are 18 catholic high schools, most of which are run by Sisters. A group of Sisters, the Hijas de Jesus, administers the only Chinese Catholic school in Cagayan de Oro, the Kong Hua School.
