located inside the campus of San Beda College in Mendiola, Manila
In the 19th century, several anti-clerical governments in Spain took measures to suppress the many
monasteries there. If they were not closed outright, communities were forbidden by the state to
accept new candidates, with the goal of letting monastic communities die out. With time however,
exceptions were made for monasteries which would operate in the far-flung regions still a part of
Spain's once mighty empire, primarily the Philippines.

Mendiola, Manila. It was built by the Benedictine Order in 1904. The church was devoted to "Santo
Niño de Praga" and was consecrated on January 13, 1926. The cornerstone was laid on February
