Bishop Sipalay caps UST’s Aquinas Double Jubilee, Celebration; new Theology profs receive academic mandatum

On January 27, 2025, the Bishop of Alaminos, Most Rev. Napoleon B. Sipalay, Jr., O.P., D.D., led the Eucharistic Celebration to close the Double Jubilee of St. Thomas Aquinas (2023-2025) in an Institutional Mass at the Sant铆simo Rosario Parish.

In his homily, Bishop Sipalay revisited the life of our University Patron, whose life offered a glimpse of Jesus’ resurrection through his pursuit of wisdom.

Moreover, harking at the parable of Salt and Light, Bishop Sipalay urged educators to learn, listen, and affirm the God-given giftedness of their students. “I would suggest the teachers to try to affirm the kind of talents the students have in learning the subject matter. What is important is that we learn to listen and observe the good things the students we have,” Bishop Sipalay said.

“We are like salt and light [that points out] the giftedness they have received in order to point Christ in their lives,” he added.

Within the Mass, the newly hired academic staff who teach theology courses received their academic mandatum, which gave them the canonical mandate to teach. The theme of this event was “St. Thomas Aquinas: Illumined by Truth, Anchored in Hope.”
