A Pedagogical Ministry for the Cultural Heritage of the Church in the University of Santo Tomas

Abstract

The paper is a narration of the University of Santo Tomas’s response to the call of the Church to form most especially the clergy in the area of cultural heritage. As part of her response, the University has established special subjects in the Ecclesiastical Faculties, a Master’s program in Cultural Heritage Studies at the Graduate School, the CCCPET – Center for Conservation of Cultural Property and Environment in the Tropics, and continuous upgrading and development of the UST Museum. All of them have the same end in view, that is, for the formation of the Christian community and Evangelization that started in this country 500 years ago.
