Greetings! 

 The publishing field is not new to the Dominicans. As  early as the 12th century of its foundation, pastoral  guides and theological instructional materials were  already in vogue, written by the members of the Order.  Today, the Dominicans continue to be involved in the   print apostolate all over the world.

The Philippiniana Sacra is the official publication of the Ecclesiastical Faculties of the University of Santo Tomas. The journal which first saw its maiden issue in 1966 had for its editor-in-chiefs: Fr. Excelso Garcia, O.P. (1966-1969); Fr. Antonio Gonzalez, O.P. (1970-1972); Fr. Lucio Gutierrez, O.P. (1973-1990); and Fr. Javier Gonzalez, O.P. (1991-2009).

The Philippiniana Sacra aside from its featured articles, studies, reviews and notices, takes pride in its Philippiniana Records which showcase original manuscript materials sourced from the UST Archives.

It is indeed our pleasure and unique privilege through this journal, to continue serving our readers all over the world.

Very sincerely in St. Thomas Aquinas,

Norberto M. Castillo, O.P.
Editor, 2011
