Sons Of Lourdes (Alumni Association), Inc. or SOL is the revitalized alumni association of Lourdes School of Mandaluyong. Organized by the Alumni Class of LSM78 as their unique legacy to the school we love so well, SOL was incorporated in a meeting attended by 14 alumni at 3 Sisters Restaurant in Bo. Capitolyo last Nov.30,2001. SOL was launched during the 1st SOL Congress on Feb. 8, 2003 with the theme: SOL RISING 2003 - Let's Build The Network! A new Constitution & By-Laws was passed and ratified during this historic event.

The leadership of SOL is placed upon 2 co-equal branches - The Executive Board, which shall be composed mainly by the class celebrating its 25th jubilee and the Alumni Council, the policy-making body of SOL (composed of delegates from all batches and component organizations).

The 2010 Congress and Alumni Homecoming will be a landmark affair since it coincides with the 50th (Golden Anniversary) of LSM. It will be hosted by LSM Class of 1985, led by Organizing Chairman and President-Elect Sol Jojo Villa-Ignacio.
