THE RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS DIVISION
The Religious Affairs Division serves as the spiritual core of the institution, ensuring that education is deeply rooted in Catholic faith and Dominican tradition. It guides Letranites in living as faithful witnesses of the Gospel, cultivating a life of prayer, devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and commitment to the Rosary. Through liturgical celebrations, retreats, and catechesis, the division strengthens the spiritual formation of Letranites while instilling the Dominican charism of truth, reason, and critical discernment. Inspired by St. Dominic’s example as “light of the world and salt of the earth,” it forms servant-leaders dedicated to justice, charity, and building Christ-centered communities.
By integrating faith with academic excellence and professional integrity, the Religious Affairs Division ensures that every Letranite embodies nobility, generosity, and discipline in service of both God and nation.

MESSAGE FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT OF RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS
“Go and preach, for God has called you to this work.” – St. Dominic
Welcome to the Religious Affairs Division of Colegio de San Juan de Letran. Guided by our Catholic faith and Dominican heritage, we are committed to forming Letranites who embody nobility, generosity, and discipline in their journey of faith and life. Here, we strive to deepen our community’s relationship with God through liturgical celebrations, prayer, devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and a living witness to the Gospel.
It is our hope that every Letranite not only excels in academics and professional life but also carries the torch of faith—building Christ-centered communities and promoting justice, charity, and peace.
Together, let us continue to live the ideals of a true Letranite: faithful to God, devoted to Our Lady, and committed to serving others with integrity and compassion.

THE CAMPUS MINISTRY:
The Campus Ministry serves as the heart of evangelization in the Colegio, nurturing the Catholic faith and Dominican spirit through liturgical and sacramental life. It coordinates Eucharistic celebrations, recollections, Marian devotions, and faith-formation activities that strengthen the spiritual journey of students, faculty, and staff. The office also provides sacramental preparation for those who have yet to receive Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, or Reconciliation, ensuring full participation in the life of the Church.
In addition, the Campus Ministry forms lay liturgical ministers, student volunteers, and faculty collaborators who actively assist in sustaining a vibrant faith community. Its spaces—chapels and prayer rooms—are open sanctuaries for reflection, adoration, and personal encounter with God.
By integrating prayer, service, and community life, the Campus Ministry guides Letranites in living out their vocation as faithful witnesses to Christ, deeply rooted in Dominican values, and committed to building Christ-centered communities
