St. Bridget College is a Catholic education institution located in M.H. del Pilar Street, Batangas City, Province of Batangas, Philippines. It is one of the few major schools located Batangas City and throughout the Province of Batangas. The term Bridgetine refers to every St. Bridget College's personnel including teachers and students. The Religious of the Good Shepherd or RGS established the first Catholic School for girls in the Diocese of Lipa. This was in 1913, when the Most Reverend Joseph Petrelli, Bishop of the Diocese, asked the help of the RGS Sisters working in Rangoon, Burma to come to Batangas to start the first educational mission of the Church in his Diocese. The challenge to undertake this new mission was enthusiastically taken up by Mother Mary of St. Ligouri and her companions. Within a short span of time, more Sisters from the Mother House in France arrived. There were many difficulties in the beginning but the Irish and American Sisters who pioneered the task surmounted all these through their untiring sacrifices and the generosity of the people in the community. For 34 years the educational program of Saint Bridget was confined to grade school and high school.
