In this inspiring episode of Friar’s Desk, we sit down with Maria Lourdes L. Santiago-Antonio, LPT, MA (Director of the Center for Campus Ministry) and Asst. Prof. Paul A. Castillo, MA (Creative Writing mentor and educator) to reflect on the role of faith-filled leadership in academic and pastoral life. The conversation explores how these servant-leaders foster positive, dynamic environments—guiding students and colleagues alike with compassion, vision, and purpose. From spiritual formation to creative expression, they share how leadership grounded in faith and innovation can shape communities and uplift hearts in the ever-changing world of education.
