COLEGIO DE LA MILAGROSA (CM), now ST. LOUISE DE MARILLAC COLLEGE of SORSOGON (SLMCS) had its humble beginning in 1937. Most Rev. Francisco Reyes, former Bishop of Nueva Caceres, parish priest for many years in the town of Sorsogon , took cognizance of the total absence of Catholic schools in the province. His burning zeal for service led him to discover and to realize the felt need to provide Catholic education to the youth in this town. With strong determination, he invited and sought the assistance of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, who at that time, were actively managing Colegio de Sta. Isabel, now Universidad de Sta. Isabel, Naga City .
