The University of Santo Tomas
commemorates the life of
HIS HOLINESS
† POPE FRANCIS
(Jorge Mario Bergoglio, SJ)
17 December 1936 – 21 April 2025
a humble and merciful shepherd of the Church
who visited this Pontifical University on 18 January 2015
and inspired many Thomasians in his flock to live lives of competence, commitment, and compassion as they work toward a culture of encounter.
With deep gratitude, The Academia looks back on his historic visit.
