La Consolacion University Philippines officially declared a countdown of 85 days to its 85th Founding Anniversary Celebration, commencing from September 9, 2022 to December 4, 2022, which signifies its high hopes and anticipation for the said momentous event. The university, formerly known as the Colegio De Nuestra Señora Del Carmen, Regina Carmeli College, and University of Regina Carmeli, was the first Catholic institution established in the Province of Bulacan way back in 1937. From a donated property, LCUP expands its programs and course offerings and its facilities and services to the community. La Consolacion University Philippines is presently known to cater Basic Education to Graduate School enrollees and accommodates students in its two campuses - Barasoain and Catmon.

The announcement materialized through a ceremony held at the Venerable Mo. Consuelo Open Stage Area. Selected students from Grade 11 and Grade 12, personnel, faculty, administrators, and religious community with their flaglets, balloons, and flowers graced the procession, which was the program's starting point. The procession was succeeded by the enthronement of the image of Our Lady of Consolation. The LCUP Community shouts for joy and praise as the image of Our Lady of Consolation, carried by selected senior high school students, treads the aisle. Read More ...
