Dear LST Community and Friends,
It is with great joy that I announce the Holy See’s nihil obstat for the promotion of the following LST faculty to the rank of Associate Professor in its rescript dated 25 July 2023:
Biblical Theology
- Rogel Anecito L. Abais, SJ, STD
- Renato R. Repole, SJ, STD
Systematic Theology
- Oliver G. Dy SJ, STD, PhD
- Jojo Jee Vui M. Fung, SJ, STL, DMin.
- Rowan L. Rebustillo, STD, PhD
The Vatican’s nihil obstat is a declaration that nothing impedes the promotion of the candidates to the rank of Associate Professor.
I wish to express my sincerest gratitude to His Eminence Most Rev. José Cardinal Tolentino Mendonça, D.D., Prefect of the Dicastery for Culture and Education, for his continued support, and confidence in, Loyola School of Theology and its faculty.
Deo gratias!
Sincerely Yours in the Lord,
