A Compassionate Presence in
General Santos By Marist East Asia
The Marist Dadiangas Community, located in General Santos City, Philippines, is one of the vibrant religious communities of the Marist East Asia Province, where Marist Brothers live together in fraternity and dedicate themselves to the mission of making Jesus Christ known and loved in the way of Mary. Inspired by the life and vision of Saint Marcellin Champagnat, the Brothers seek to be a compassionate and life-giving presence among children, young people, families, and the wider community, especially those who are poor and most in need.
Notre Dame of Dadiangas University
The primary apostolic ministry of the Marist Dadiangas Community is its service to Notre Dame of Dadiangas University (NDDU), one of the leading Catholic educational institutions in Mindanao. In collaboration with lay Marists and partners in mission, the Brothers are actively involved in educational leadership, pastoral ministry, values formation, youth ministry, and the promotion of Catholic and Marist identity. Through education, they seek to form young people who are academically competent, morally upright, socially responsible, and deeply rooted in faith.
