How do we express our faith in Jesus through the richness of our culture and daily life? How does our culture, in turn, help us deepen that faith? How can we teach this faith meaningfully in our classrooms?

Let’s explore these vital questions together at the 17th National Conference for Religious Educators (NCRE) with the theme “Iisang Panginoon: Catechesis and Religious Education through Creed and Culture”

When: February 21–22, 2026
Where: Ateneo de Manila University

Good news for professional teachers and catechists! The conference has applied for CPD accreditation, allowing licensed teachers to earn CPD units while deepening their formation in faith and pedagogy.

Let’s celebrate faith, learning, and communion in the One Lord Jesus Christ. Join us at the 17th NCRE where Creed meets Culture, and Education becomes Evangelization!

Register now!

The Department of Theology invites the community to join us in praying for the repose of the soul of

† PROFESSOR MICHAEL DEMETRIUS H. ASIS

Professor Asis taught and served the Department of Theology with deep faith and dedication from 1987 to 2024, including as Chairperson from 2013 to 2017. He is lovingly remembered by his son, Miguel and wife, TinTin.

We ask the community to remember him and his bereaved family in your prayers.

Eternal rest grant unto Mike, O Lord,

through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
