Mission - Thomasian Identity

INSPIRED BY CHRIST'S TEACHINGS, WARMED BY MARY'S MOTHERLY care, touched by St. Dominic's apostolic fire, kindled by St. Thomas Aquinas' ardour, and nurtured by the dogmas of Christian faith deeply etched in the traditions of the Catholic Church, the Thomasians of today are men and women who:

• Exude a high degree of competence in pioneering human endeavors particularly in:

-their constant pursuit of the truth,
-their determined efforts to become fonts of intellectual creativity,
-their continuous flourishing as men and women of science and letters, and
-their quest for excellence in the field of their choice.


• Can reach out to others with Christian compassion in:

-their service to the poor and the marginalized members of society, and
-their ardent advocacy for life, upholding of freedom, justice,
-and solidarity in the world that is threatened by conflict due to differences in cultures, races, and religions.


• Exercise their profession with deep commitment in:

-the performance of their duties as members of the Church, citizens of our country, and inhabitants of this planet;
-their persistent resolve to faithfully uphold professional, ethical, and moral standards;
-their striving to be genuine leaders; and
-their being courageous Christian witnesses.
