Today, the University of Santo Tomas celebrates the 415th anniversary of its foundation. The University was founded on April 28, 1611.

On July 29, 1619, the Colegio was authorized to confer academic degrees in theology and philosophy. The Faculty of Sacred Theology, therefore, is as old as the University.

The student body of the UST Faculty of Sacred Theology joins the whole Thomasian community in thanking the Lord for the 415 years of God’s unending grace upon our beloved University.

In gratitude for 415 years of grace, we renew our commitment to “keep us in truth,” in the service of the Church and the nation. Happy Founding Anniversary, University of Santo Tomas!
