What would Kiko do?

If Francis Xavier walked into this chapel, I do not think he would begin with strategies, statistics, or structures. He would look at each of us—young or old, energized, or exhausted—and he would ask: “Where is your zeal? Where is your availability? Where are the poor you have touched? Where are the young you have…

The Loyola School of Theology is pleased to make available in open access two important early works of Luis Antonio Cardinal G. Tagle DD, originally published by LST in 2003 and 2004. These publications provide valuable insight into the theological depth, pastoral sensitivity, and ecclesial vision that have characterized Cardinal Tagle’s ministry in the Church. Cardinal "Chito" has long-standing ties with LST. During his priestly formation in San Jose Seminary, Ateneo de Manila University, he studied at LST, where he pursued theological studies and was formed within the Ignatian intellectual and spiritual tradition that continues to shape the school’s mission. His later academic work, pastoral leadership, and theological contributions reflect this formation, combining rigorous scholarship with pastoral attentiveness and a deep love for the Church. By making these works available in open access, LST hopes that students, scholars, pastors, and all those interested in the life and mission of the Church may benefit from the theological insight and pastoral wisdom of Cardinal Tagle. These publications also stand as part of the School’s continuing commitment to contribute to theological reflection in the Philippines, Asia, and the wider Church.

"In Sta. Cruz Chapel, youth ministry wasn’t just a group doing different activities; it was a way of life. We learned how to pray, how to listen to God’s voice, and how to deepen our relationship with Christ. At the same time, we learned how to journey with others. We shared our personal lives. Through them, I never felt alone. I think that's what made the chapel feel like home, not just the structure, but the people who accepted each other’s stories and struggles.We had moments of doubt, frustration, and even burnout, but we also had moments of joy that felt sacred, the shared silence prayers, or the feeling of singing the final song at Mass knowing you gave your heart. These are the moments that anchored me, the moments that whispered 'This is where you’re meant to be.'" - Liezle Keith Padilla

"Being with the youth is not just about guiding them. It’s about loving them enough to stay. To show up. To listen. To believe in their worth, especially when they cannot yet see it for themselves. In all this, I return to my own story—the boy who once stayed behind in school to find peace. Now, as a teacher, I try to be the peace others seek. Not because I am whole, but because I was once held when I was broken. May we never tire of being with the youth. Because in doing so, we don’t just shape futures—we take part in the quiet and sacred work of healing and transformation that’s already happening today." - Samuel F. Macagba III

"At Loyola College of Culion, the journey with our indigenous learners is not a story of charity but of solidarity. Not of outreach but of accompaniment. It is a journey of pagtubo—of growth, not just for our students, but for our whole community. Truly, LCC is not just a school on an island. It is Bahay Pag-asa. Where the Tagbanwa are not just included, but embraced. And where Jesuit education continues, quietly but powerfully, to shape a more just and compassionate world— beginning on our island, rooted in our communities, and lived out through our learners." - Kathlea Jay Roxas
