The University of Santo Tomas and the Santísimo Rosario Parish (UST Chapel) welcomed on January 27, 2023, the relic of journalist-martyr St. Titus Brandsma, who was canonized by Pope Francis in May 2022.
As part of the nationwide pilgrimage for St. Titus Brandsma, the relic was previously in the Carmel of St. Joseph in Lucena City, Quezon Province, and was transported to the Immaculate Conception Cathedral of Cubao on January 29, 2023, after its UST visit.
Aside from being a priest, St. Titus Brandsma was a Carmelite media practitioner during his lifetime and campaigned during World War II for the government and the people against Nazi propaganda. He was beatified in November 1985.
