Graduation 2008
“During your time at the Institute for the Psychological Sciences, you undoubtedly received a wealth of knowledge from the collective teachings of a fine faculty, in concert with all that you have garnered from the many great scholars and thinkers whom you have met through their writings. While this treasury of knowledge has helped form you into the person you are today, it must never be thought of as a private possession to be kept selfishly for your own self-aggrandizement.
With the gift of knowledge, comes a responsibility to lead others closer to the Truth. You are in a position to teach others by your own example about the dignity of the human person, the true good to which each person is called, and the freedom that is given to each of God’s children…”
From the Commencement Address by His Excellency Archbishop Pietro Sambi, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States
“Your own personal mission, the mission of the Church, and of IPS, is two-pronged: to rely on a deep, supernatural faith, seeing things from God’s perspective, and to respect the inherent dignity of the human person, the centrality of the person, imitating Christ’s command to "Love one another as I have loved you."”
Homily by IPS President Fr. Charles Sikorsky L.C.
“This diploma is not the fulfillment of a personal goal, but my small contribution in the greater plan of God for the Philippine Church…I go back [to the Philippines] as a trained clinical psychologist, but also - and more importantly - as one touched by the goodness and mercy of God.”
Fr. Noel Deslate, B.A., M.S., Psy.D. IPS Class of 2008
