The St. Alphonsus Theological and Mission Institute of SATMI is like a devoted mother to us that nourishes us to grow spiritually, doctrinally, and pastorally. If the financial support of the Redemptorists of the different Provinces of Asia and Oceania is the lifeblood that keeps the existence of SATMI going, the St. Clement library is the dining table that provides us with healthy food for good cognitive functioning. Together with the generosity and support of ADDU through this consortium, we are very positive that we can develop our library on-site and online. That is, SATMI could provide enough rich materials to you, our dear, beloved students.
This afternoon, the information and knowledge provided to us by ADDU librarians Ms. Fritzie Fajardo (Director of Libraries) and Mr. Dennis Moldes (Miguel Pro Librarian) were not only about how to maximize our remote library, but they made us realize how blessed we are with our consortium with ADDU. I personally believe now that there is no reason for us not to be healthy intellectually, given we have abundant opportunities for holistic and integrative academic improvement.
Finally, on behalf of SATMI, I challenge each and every one of you to make use of the wonderful advantages that are now at our fingertips. May God bless all our efforts.
