OUR BACKGROUND

"Catholic Education is above all a question of communicating Christ, of helping to form Christ In the lives of others" (John Paul II, 1979). The Catholic Church's vision of education has always been the intergral development of the human person in accordance with the Gospel values. The approach to education has always been and will always remain holistic.

Hence the specific purpose of the Catholic University is formation of boys and girls, men and women who will be good citizens of the world.

Our Patron Saint |
St.Thomas More

The patron saint of the University is St. Thomas More, an English Martyr, whose life was/is truly an example for all who are called to serve humanity and society, who, "as a statesman always placed himself at the service of the human statesman always placed himself at the service of the human person, especially the weak and poor, "over whom" honour and wealth held no sway" but was guided by an outstanding sense of fairness, who never compromised his conscience (John Paul II Jubillee Message, No.5, November 2000)

FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, INTERGRITY AND SERVICE

The motto of the University is: “The truth shall set you free” (Veritas Vos Liberabit)(John 8:32). This is inspired by Jesus Christ. This “truth” liberates the manifold abilities of all members of the University and they continue to play a contrastive and positive role in the church and the society.

Our View | Education

Education, by definition, seeks to awaken students’ senses of responsibility for their own lives, the lives of others and their environment. Education is meant to help students understand their capacity to act in changing unjust situations and to refuse to “take in the supposed impossibility of changing the world”

(John Paul II, "Reconcile and Repent," no.16)
