Guided by the Gospel values and the Lasallian traditions of Faith, Zeal, and Communion, the Department envisions itself as the integrating component in the holistic formation of students towards maturity in the Christian faith within the context of a Filipino Catholic University in the service of the Church and the society.It develops and implements academic programs that are "maka-Diyos, maka-bayan, maka-tao at maka-kalikasan" and adapts an integrated and innovative approach in religious instruction. It also provides complementary formation programs for its faculty and staff; and conducts researches on current methodologies and approaches in religious education and theology. The department thus upholds a deep respect and love for all of God's creation, and commits itself to the Gospel ideals of justice and peace towards personal conversion and social transformation.
