Total commitment to the mission,

complete trust in God,

openness to the Holy Spirit,

and to the needs of the changing world.

We, the members of the Divine Word Mission Seminary, the Motherhouse of the SVD in the Philippines, living and witnessing the Word together and obeying the promptings of the Holy Spirit, commit ourselves primarily to the formation of future priests and religions to the evangelization and renewal of the local church through our varied apostolates and services, supportive of the goals of the formation.

We foster in this pre-novitiate house of formation the growth of the individual candidates in the psycho-emotional, social, spiritual, missionary, and academic areas of development.

In service to the local church, we admit non-SVD candidates to this academic institution that promotes liberal and Christian education.
