The College Campus Ministry seeks to help the University community encounter and deepen their faith — an emphasis that University President Fr. Karel San Juan, SJ has underscored as central to Ateneo de Davao University’s identity as a Catholic and Jesuit institution (“Fortes in Fide,” Strong in Faith).
The office aims to form and animate the Ateneo community into a family of believers through spiritual and religious formation rooted in Ignatian spirituality, while remaining open to students of other faith traditions. The Campus Ministry Office forms and animates the Ateneo community into a family of believers through spiritual and religious formation, rooted in the spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola, and it aims to appropriate the Catholic Christian faith in the lives of its learners by providing worship opportunities even to non-Catholic and Muslim students.
This renewed emphasis on faith formation is something the Ateneo de Davao University plans to highlight more visibly, so that students, parents, and the wider community can better appreciate how deeply spirituality is embedded in the Ateneo experience.
