Our Mission, to organize events designed to uplift the Bedan Spirit, strengthen our community bond, and create awareness about our academic scholarship project and other charitable programs.
We encourage our fellow Benedictine brothers and sisters to support our mission and share in the ideals of St. Benedict of Ora et Labora - Work and Prayer. You participation will play a pivotal role in spreading the joy and grace of our community.
Let us contribute in our Alma Mater’s quest for value formation thru education.
San Beda University, a Catholic educational institution, is committed to the Christian formation of the Bedan Community as its service to the Church, the Philippine society, and the world.
As part of a larger Benedictine Community, we will continue our institution’s Core Values of Fides, Scientia and Virtus (Faith, Knowledge, and Virtue) and emphasize, Ora et labora, Prayer and Work, which promotes the essence of Study, Community, and the pursuit of Peace.
For your scholarship program, our goal is to seek out young, enthusiastic individuals that can embody the core Benedictine values for professional life, and fulfill God’s plans for the world in Jesus Christ, to lead in their chosen profession or industry for national, regional, and global contexts, to engage in continuous learning and share their knowledge for the benefit of their community either as a servant-leader or steward of creation.
For San Beda, Our Country and God.
