Vatican appoints Dagohoy as Rector of UST
May 24, 12:30 p.m. - ROME has formally approved the appointment of Fr. Herminio Dagohoy, O.P. as Rector of the Asia’s only Pontifical university.
Archbishop Zenon Cardinal Grocholewski, prefect of the Vatican's Sacred Congregation for Catholic Education (for Seminaries and Educational Institutions), signed the decree of Dagohoy’s appointment last May 14, said Fr. Gerard Francisco Timoner III, O.P., prior provincial of the Dominican Province of the Philippines and vice chancellor of the University.
Dagohoy—the internal auditor and director of finance and administration of UST Hospital—won successive ballots conducted among UST Dominicans, the Academic Senate, and the University’s Board of Trustees early last month.
The veteran administrator was the top choice, followed by Faculty of Sacred Theology Dean Fr. Rodel Aligan, O.P. and Faculty of Philosophy Dean and former UST rector Fr. Norberto Castillo, O.P. The names of all three candidates were sent to Rome last April 9 for the usual vetting process.
Dagohoy, who will serve as the 96th rector of UST, will be formally installed on June 4 during the Misa de Apertura or the Mass of the Holy Spirit, which traditionally opens the academic year.
The new Rector had served as prior of the Priory of St. Thomas Aquinas in UST and prior of Santo Domingo convent which oversees the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary of La Naval. He was also the chief finance officer of UST Hospital and rector of Angelicum College in Quezon City.
Dagohoy was ordained to the priesthood in 1994. Rafael L. Antonio
